Are You a Candidate for LASIK?
Take our LASIK Self-Test to find out today!
LASIK is a laser surgery designed to reduce the need for prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses by correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is the most well-known refractive surgery for vision correction.
The surgery works by reshaping the cornea allowing it to better focus images onto the retina for sharper vision. Both eyes can be treated during the same appointment, and the surgery takes about 10 minutes for each eye. LASIK is an outpatient procedure that uses local anesthesia in the form of eye drops.
