What We Can Do To Help
Consultations and Referrals
A consultation includes a complete review of your patient history and a full assessment of your eye health and vision. Before we refer you for surgery, we need to make sure you’re a good candidate, and consider any factors that may affect your results. We’ll also discuss your surgery options and what type of procedure is best for you.
Follow-Up Care
Once you have scheduled your surgery, we’ll contact you for follow-up appointments at our office. Typically, your first follow-up appointment is the day after surgery. You’ll then have periodic follow-up visits in our office over the next 6 months. After 1 year, we recommend have a full eye exam to determine the long-term results of your procedure.

LASIK EYE SURGERY
The surgery begins with creating a flap in the cornea’s outer layer to expose the tissue below. The surgeon will then reshape the middle layers of the cornea with a laser to correct the refractive error and your vision.
Once this is complete, the corneal flap is carefully folded back over the newly-shaped cornea to act as a natural bandage.
With this procedure, you can expect clear vision within 24 to 48 hours. Your post-operative care will likely consist of periodic follow-up appointments and eye drops.

During the procedure, the outer layer of the cornea is gently removed. A laser is then used to reshape the underlying corneal tissues to correct vision.
Your post-operative care will likely consist of bandage contact lenses for the first 2-3 days to help your corneas heal, and eye drops for 4 to 6 weeks.
