To understand how LASIK Eye Surgery works, it helps to know how the eye focuses light. Clear vision depends on the cornea correctly bending light onto the retina. If the cornea’s curvature is off, it results in common refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism. Laser vision correction addresses these issues by reshaping the cornea to improve light focus and deliver sharp, clear vision.
Before performing LASIK Eye Surgery, our doctors use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools for detailed analysis. We start with advanced ocular mapping using the Pentacam, which evaluates the front and back surfaces of the cornea. Additional tests using Sightmap and Optical Coherence Tomography provide further insight into corneal thickness and curvature. This comprehensive approach helps us design a customized treatment plan for your unique vision needs.
Vision correction has come a long way since the early days of radial keratotomy (RK), which involved manual incisions in the cornea. In the late 1980s, laser technology revolutionized the field by making procedures more precise and safer. Today, LASIK Eye Surgery and PRK are considered the standard of care for laser vision correction. Both use computer-guided excimer lasers to reshape the cornea with exceptional accuracy.
LASIK Eye Surgery uses a cool ultraviolet laser beam to reshape the cornea under a thin flap created on its surface. This painless and highly accurate process improves how the eye focuses light, reducing or even eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. Because only microscopic layers of tissue are removed during this outpatient procedure, recovery time is fast, and most patients notice improved vision within a day or two. LASIK continues to be one of the most trusted procedures for long-term vision correction.
