Lasik


LASIK Surgery
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted in-situ Keratomileusis. Many people love the idea of getting rid of their glasses and contacts, but they cringe at the thought of having a procedure performed on their eyes. With time tested technology and fine-tuned surgical skill, this procedure is one of the safest, most effective eye treatments available.

What is LASIK surgery exactly?
It’s the use of a laser beam to modify the shape of your cornea such that your vision will improve. So let’s look at how our vision works, why it might be less than perfect, and how LASIK surgery changes it.

The Benefits of LASIK
Just imagine being able to read a menu, see the street signs, or read the clock on the wall without glasses or contacts! For many people, clear vision without help seemed impossible, until advancements in LASIK made it more accessible and safer than ever before. After just a few minutes, you can see the world in a new light with clear vision. Just think about what life would be like without the hassle of worrying where you put your glasses, or the daily routine of cleaning and putting in contacts. And just think of the money you’ll save over your lifetime when you don’t have to order new glasses and lenses. The possibilities are endless! If you’re an active person, you’ll no longer have to worry about your eyes when you’re running, swimming, or playing sports. Glasses and contacts are fine for temporary correction, but nothing comes close to natural vision. Just ask anyone who’s had LASIK. It’s like a whole new world!
