LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
People who benefit from LASIK surgery are those with existing refractive errors. These errors affect millions of people and can be generally characterized as one or a combination of the following:
LASIK can correct these refractive errors and eliminate the dependance on glasses or contact lenses.
There are two major steps in this surgical procedure:
1. Preparation:
A surgical instrument is used to elevate a very thin layer in the cornea.
2. Reshaping:
A computer-guided laser beam reshapes the cornea and the thin layer flap is repositioned.
The primary difference between LASIK and other vision correction surgeries comes in the preparation stage.
The same laser is then used to mold the cornea. During your free consultation, the doctor will decide which type of vision correction surgery is right for you.
There are risks, and not everyone is a canditate for LASIK surgery. To help understand if LASIK is right for you, please contact us to schedule a free consultation. Email info@Atlanticeyecare.com or call (302)644-8007.
