The Low Down On Lasik. Laser Eye Vision Correction Is A Permanent Fix?
By Dr. Kim Robbins
LASIK, aka in-Situ Keratomileusis, has benefits over traditional eye surgery. The LASIK procedure goes under a protective layer of corneal tissue.
As a result, there is less surface area to heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of corneal haze, less postoperative need for medications, and vision returns more rapidly, often within a day or so. LASIK can also treat a higher range of vision errors.
Although postoperative results vary, most patients are able to pass a drivers' license test without their glasses or contact lenses.
IS LASIK RIGHT FOR ME?
Nearly everyone who wears contacts or glasses can benefit from LASIK. A prerequisite is to have stable vision for a year before the procedure. By this is meant to not have a huge loss of vision before the procedure.
LASIK patients typically show signs of far-sighted or near-sighted vision and/or have astigmatism. You must meet some medical and visual health guidelines and be in fair health in general. Age is not generally a problem. LASIK is regularly performed on people of all ages.
LASIK is right for you if you are motivated to make a change in your life, and you have realistic expectations of and understand what LASIK can do for you.
Laser eye surgery, or LASIK, is not recommended while taking some medications. Consult your physician or surgeon. It is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing.
At Robbins Eye Center your consultation will determine your candidacy. Dr. Robbins will discuss with you whether your prognosis is optimal for the LASIK procedure. Hopefully you will be a great candidate and be able to opt for the best choice of your life - IMPROVED NATURAL VISION!
BENEFITS
OF LASIK
The LASIK benefit is permanent visual correction and a life without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.
The LASIK procedure pain free and convenient. Both eyes can be done at the same time and the entire procedure generally takes on about two hours and can go back to work soon, usually the next day. You will live a vision corrected life without the hassle of glasses or contacts and don't forget, you are going to save money on contacts, fluids etc., and / or glasses themselves! This is a significant savings for the long term. If you were allergic to your contacts you can kiss that issue goodbye as well.
Visual recovery is rapid; within the first 24 hours, you have a great majority of your new improved vision. Most all of my patients can drive the next day without the need for glasses or contacts.
ABOUT THE LASER EYE PROCEDURE
Eye drop anesthesia numbs your eye and a holder prevents you from blinking during the procedure.
LASIK utilizes an instrument called a microkeratome to make a small "flap" in your cornea. You may feel some pressure but no pain is produced by using the microkeratome. You will be looking at a light during the procedure. The flap will be folded back in place without any need for stitches. Your eye will heal itself from this small incision.
