Laser Vision Correction is in its second decade of helping patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Today, the goal of laser vision correction is not only to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, but also to improve the quality or crispness of one's vision to a level that is better than possible with glasses or contact lenses. It is a comfortable, safe and effective outpatient procedure. There's typically little or no post-operative discomfort. Recovery is fast and complications are rare. Your vision returns quickly, usually without the need for glasses or contacts. Most patients will experience significantly improved vision immediately after surgery. Protective glasses are often provided for patients to wear during sleep for a short period of time. If Laser Vision Correction is something you are considering, Free LASIK Evaluations are available at our office to find out whether you are a LASIK candidate. You can also view an informative LASIK Video to learn more about the technology and options available for better vision.
