LASIK is a popular vision treatment that can allow you to experience greater visual freedom. After a short procedure, you’ll have less reliance on visual aids like glasses and contact lenses.
LASIK uses two separate lasers to reshape your cornea, helping to correct refractive errors At Eye Associates, we've invested in your vision and comfort by offering advanced laser technology to help provide the best possible results for your individual needs.
LASIK surgery works by reshaping the clear outer layer of the eye called the cornea. By reshaping the cornea, light can be better focused on the retina, resulting in sharper vision.
Both eyes can be treated during the same procedure, which takes around ten minutes per eye. LASIK is done as an outpatient procedure, meaning that you will get to go home the same day.
