The LASIK Procedure
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular surgical procedure used to correct common vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. This refractive surgery reshapes the cornea to improve the way light enters the eye, resulting in clearer and sharper vision.
The Initial Consultation
Before undergoing LASIK, it is important to have a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. During your initial consultation at David J Scholten, OD, PC, our expert team will perform a series of tests to assess the health of your eyes, measure your prescription, and evaluate your overall eye condition. This allows us to identify any potential risks or complications and ensure the best possible outcome for your LASIK surgery.
The LASIK Procedure
On the day of your LASIK surgery, our skilled surgeon will use a specialized laser to create a thin, hinged flap on the surface of your cornea. This flap is then carefully lifted, and the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped using another laser. The corneal flap is then repositioned, acting as a natural bandage. The entire procedure is typically quick and painless, with most patients experiencing improved vision immediately after.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following your LASIK surgery, our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. It is normal to experience some mild discomfort, dryness, and blurry vision in the initial days after the procedure. However, these symptoms usually subside quickly, and most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have.
