What Is Lasik Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) eye surgery is a popular procedure designed to correct vision issues such as near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery involves:
- Creating a thin flap in the cornea.
- The transparent front part of the eye.
- A laser is used to reshape the corneal tissue beneath.
This reshaping process allows light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina, resulting in clearer vision. The procedure is quick, typically taking about 10-15 minutes per eye, and is generally painless due to numbing eye drops.
Most patients experience significant improvement in their vision almost immediately, with minimal downtime. They can return to normal activities within a day or two. LASIK offers a long-lasting solution for many individuals, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Is There More Than One Type Of Laser Eye Surgery?
LASER and LASEK (PRK) are the two most common and well-known types of laser eye surgery.
LASER
Laser eye surgery offers precise correction, reshaping the cornea to improve vision. It's a safe and effective option for those seeking freedom from glasses or contacts.
LASEK
LASEK is an alternative treatment to LASIK that is effective for some patients who are unsuitable for LASIK surgery.
CATARACT
Please don't put up with discomfort any longer; call us now to take advantage of our expertise in treating severe corneal disorders and cataracts.
How Is Lasik Eye Surgery Performed?
Step 1
Initial Preparation - Anesthetic drops numb the eye. A microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser creates a flap on the cornea, allowing access to the underlying tissue.
Step 2
Reshaping - A computer-controlled excimer laser reshapes the cornea, correcting refractive errors like nearsightedness or astigmatism based on the patient's prescription.
Step 3
Flap Replacement and Recovery - After reshaping, the flap is repositioned, bonding naturally. Patients typically experience improved vision almost immediately, with minimal discomfort and a short recovery.

The safety of contact lenses versus LASIK refractive surgery depends on proper usage and individual circumstances. Contact lenses are generally safe with correct use and hygiene but carry risks of infection and complications if mishandled. LASIK, a one-time surgical procedure, has a high success rate and low complication rate with modern technology and skilled surgeons.
While LASIK offers a permanent solution and convenience, contact lenses require ongoing care and carry cumulative risks over time. LASIK can be safer long-term compared to prolonged contact lens use, but an eye care professional should assess individual suitability.
- Initial Cost: LASIK surgery usually requires a significant upfront investment, ranging from a few thousand to several thousand dollars per eye.
- Long-Term Savings: Once the surgery is performed, there’s no need for ongoing expenses on glasses or contact lenses. Over time, this can result in substantial savings.
- Cost of Glasses and Contacts: The cost of purchasing glasses or contact lenses, along with maintenance and replacements, can add up over the years.
- Insurance Coverage: Some insurance plans may partially cover the cost of LASIK surgery, making it more affordable for specific individuals.
- Quality of Life: LASIK surgery offers the potential for improved vision without the hassle of glasses or contacts, enhancing quality of life and potentially justifying the initial investment.
