Solving Vision Problems

Two of the most common vision problems are farsightedness and nearsightedness. Additionally, astigmatism can affect the ability of someone to see at any distance. These disorders are usually related to the shape of the cornea, the clear covering at the front of the eye, or of the eyeball itself. LASIK surgery can correct these problems by simply changing its shape, allowing the eye to focus properly. Our eye doctor has the ability to diagnose vision disorders and help patients decide their next course of action, one of which may be LASIK surgery.

Who Is Suited for LASIK Surgery?

The procedure is best suited for those with moderate refractive errors, including farsightedness and nearsightedness, and whose vision has remained about the same for some time. Patients should have eyes that are free of other disorders, such as cataracts and glaucoma, and should be in good general health. LASIK surgery is ideal for those who are not satisfied with the way they look in eyeglasses and uncomfortable wearing or dealing with the maintenance issues associated with contacts.

Our ophthalmologist can determine if you are fit for the procedure by conducting an eye exam and looking at your overall health. After the procedure, you should recover after about two days. You will be able to see clearly without contact lenses or eyeglasses.
