LASIK Surgery in San Antonio & Floresville

Millions of people have benefited from LASIK surgery that has allowed them to see clearly without glasses. This procedure’s technical name is “laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses,” shortened to "LASIK.” At Vision 3C Specialists, Dr. Trujillo provides this popular vision correction surgery for their patients in San Antonio, TX.

Understanding LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery can correct a number of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure changes the cornea to correct the problem. The surgery involves using a specialized tool or laser to create a flap on the cornea. This flap is then opened and some tissue on the cornea is removed to re-shape it. The flap is then closed and the tissue heals naturally. The procedure only takes a few minutes, is painless and only requires a short recovery time.

Who Is A Good Candidate For LASIK Surgery?

A good candidate for LASIK eye surgery should be over the age of 18 and have moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. Your eyes should be healthy. You should be able to lie flat for the procedure and be able to look at a fixed point for about two minutes to allow the surgery. If you wear contact lenses, you will have to stop wearing them for a period of time before surgery.
