    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.

    Am I Suitable For Lasik Eye Surgery?

    At Harley Vision, 85% of those who come for a consultation are suitable for LASIK eye surgery, so you will likely be as well. Try using one of our suitability tools for a quick initial assessment.

    We Use World Class Technology

    Our expert surgeons use cutting-edge technology, the same that NASA approved for its astronauts. We utilize advanced femtosecond and excimer lasers, known for their precision and accuracy, to ensure our LASIK patients achieve the best possible results.

    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.

      Is LASIK Refractive Surgery Safe?
      Yes, LASIK refractive surgery is generally considered safe. Here are some key points:
      • High Success Rate: LASIK has a high success rate, with most patients achieving 20/20 vision or better.
      • Advanced Technology: Modern LASIK uses advanced technology and precise lasers, enhancing safety and accuracy.
      • Experienced Surgeons: The procedure is typically performed by highly trained and experienced surgeons.
      • Quick Recovery: Patients often experience rapid recovery with minimal discomfort.
      • Low Complication Rate: Serious complications are rare, and most side effects are temporary.
      • Extensive Research: LASIK has been extensively studied and refined over decades, ensuring it remains a reliable option for vision correction.
      While LASIK is safe for most, individual suitability should be assessed by a qualified eye care professional.
      Are Contact Lenses Safer Than LASIK Refractive Surgery?

      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.

      Is LASIK Eye Surgery More Expensive Than Eyeglasses Or Contact Lenses?
      LASIK eye surgery typically involves a higher upfront cost than eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, when considering long-term expenses, LASIK can be more cost-effective. Here’s why:
      • 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.
      While LASIK surgery may initially be more expensive, its long-term savings and benefits can make it a cost-effective option for many individuals.
      Can You Guarantee 20/20 Vision? I.E., Perfect Vision!
      We do not guarantee achieving a 20/20 vision or perfect vision. While some clinics may make such claims, we prioritize honesty, transparency, and compassionate care. Our commitment lies in providing realistic expectations and the highest standard of ethical service to our patients.
      What Is the Success Rate Of LASIK Refractive Surgery?
      The success rate of LASIK refractive surgery is generally high, with most patients achieving improved vision without needing glasses or contacts. Studies indicate that around 90% of patients achieve 20/20 vision or better following the procedure. However, individual outcomes can vary based on pre-existing eye conditions and the surgeon’s skill. Overall, LASIK has a proven safety and efficacy track record in providing vision correction for suitable candidates.
      How Soon After LASIK Refractive Surgery Will I See Clearly?
      You may experience improved vision almost immediately after LASIK refractive surgery. Many patients notice clearer vision within the first day or two of the procedure.
      Is LASIK Refractive Surgery Painful?
      LASIK refractive surgery is typically not painful, as numbing eye drops are administered beforehand. Patients may experience some pressure or discomfort during the procedure, but it is usually minimal and short-lived. After the surgery, mild discomfort or irritation is common, but severe pain is rare.
      Can Anyone Have LASIK Refractive Surgery?
      While LASIK refractive surgery suits many individuals with common vision problems, such as near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, not everyone is a candidate. Factors like eye health, prescription stability, and corneal thickness are considered during evaluation.
      Is The LASIK Refractive Surgery Procedure Quick?
      The LASIK refractive surgery is typically quick, often taking only 15 to 20 minutes per eye.
      Are The Results Of LASIK Refractive Surgery Permanent?
      The results of LASIK refractive surgery are generally considered permanent. The procedure reshapes the cornea to correct vision, and once this change is made, it typically remains stable over time. However, age-related changes or other eye conditions may affect vision later in life. Regular eye exams are recommended to monitor changes and ensure continued eye health. Overall, LASIK offers long-lasting vision correction for most patients who undergo the procedure.
      Can LASIK Refractive Surgery Treat Presbyopia?
      LASIK refractive surgery is primarily used to correct near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea. While it can improve distance vision, it’s not typically used to treat presbyopia, which is age-related difficulty focusing on close objects. However, some advanced LASIK techniques, such as monovision or multifocal LASIK, may help reduce the need for reading glasses in presbyopic patients.
      Are There Age Limits for LASIK Refractive Surgery?
      While there’s no strict age limit for LASIK refractive surgery, candidates should be at least 18, as their vision may still change before this age. Additionally, individuals considering LASIK should have a stable prescription for at least one year and have healthy eyes with no underlying conditions that may affect surgery outcomes. Ultimately, suitability for LASIK is determined on a case-by-case basis during a comprehensive eye exam and consultation with an eye care professional.
      Will I Still Need Reading Glasses After The Surgery?
      The need for reading glasses after LASIK surgery depends on various factors, including age, the corrected refractive error, and individual visual demands. While LASIK primarily corrects distance vision, some patients may still require reading glasses for close-up tasks, particularly if they have presbyopia or if monovision LASIK wasn’t performed. However, options like multifocal or accommodating intraocular lenses or monovision LASIK can reduce dependence on reading glasses for some individuals. During the consultation, your surgeon can discuss these options to address your specific visual needs.
      How Many Times Can You Get LASIK Refractive Surgery?
      Generally, LASIK refractive surgery can be performed more than once, but it’s rare. Additional surgeries may be considered if vision changes over time or if the initial procedure didn’t achieve the desired outcome. However, each case is evaluated individually by an eye care professional.
      Blinking during LASIK refractive surgery is unlikely due to using a device that holds the eyelids open. However, if a patient does blink, the laser is equipped with an eye-tracking system that pauses automatically, ensuring precise treatment. The surgeon can also reposition the eyelids if necessary before resuming the procedure.
      Are The Results Of LASIK Refractive Surgery The Same For Everyone?
      The results of LASIK refractive surgery can vary among individuals due to factors like pre-existing eye conditions, prescription strength, and corneal thickness. Individual healing responses and adherence to post-operative care instructions can also influence outcomes. While many patients achieve improved vision, the extent of correction and overall satisfaction may differ. A thorough evaluation by an eye care professional can provide personalized expectations for each patient.
