Frequently Asked Questions

What is LASIK surgery?

LASIK surgery (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis) is the most frequently performed laser vision correction procedure. It lasts about 5 to 15 minutes, with minimal discomfort, a short recovery time, and almost immediate results.

Learn More About LASIK Surgery

Is LASIK surgery right for me?

LASIK surgery has great potential to give you a life where putting your contacts in and reaching for your glasses in the morning is a memory of the past. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for laser vision correction.

In general, you must be at least 18 years old, have healthy eyes and a stable eye prescription for the last twelve months. Those with certain medical conditions and women who are pregnant or nursing (within the last 3 months) are not the best candidates.

Do I have to visit the vision center for my LASIK Consultation?

The answer is no! We know that you're a busy person with a lot to do. Your LASIK Journey can start with a simple, convenient 20-minute virtual consultation. During this consultation, we will learn about your vision, your goals with LASIK and customize your LASIK Journey. Learn More About virtual consultations

Will I have 20/20 vision after my LASIK surgery?

There are some minimal restrictions in the first weeks following laser surgery, but many LASIK patients are able to resume normal activities the following day! Vision corrective results from LASIK surgery are typically very rapid and many patients are able to see clearly 24-48 hours after surgery. Further vision improvement may continue over several months. Your doctor will recommend avoiding certain activities, like swimming or contact sports for several weeks.

How soon after Laser eye surgery can I resume normal activities?

Is the LASIK procedure painful?

Many patients comment on how surprised they are of not feeling pain with their LASIK surgery. Anesthetic drops are used to fully numb the eye before LASIK eye surgery begins; during the laser correction you may feel a light pressure sensation around your eye. Prior to surgery you may be given a mild sedative to help you relax.

After your laser eye surgery, your eye may feel a bit irritated for a few hours, but most patients are quite comfortable after taking a short nap. You will be prescribed drops for your eyes to provide comfort and healing in the days following your surgery.

Can both eyes be treated at the same time?

Yes. Most patients find it much more convenient to have both eyes treated on the same day.
