LASIK, or laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis, has several advantages over preceding eye surgery procedures. The LASIK procedure lessens the risk of scarring and minimises the surface area that will need to heal. It also demands less post-operative requirement medication, reduces the risk of corneal haze and, in most cases, leaves patients with excellent vision after just a day or two.
LASIK can also be used for treating a greater range of visual impairments. As everyone’s eyes are different, each procedure is tailored specifically to the needs of each patient. Following the LASIK procedure, patients are usually in a position to dispose of their glasses and contact lenses and enjoy 20/20 vision. Not everyone is suitable for surgery however. Patients can be informed of whether they are a suitable candidate after a short consultation.
Whether you suffer from near-sightedness, far-sightedness or have astigmatism, LASIK eye surgery can treat any of these problems.
LASIK is safe, painless and conveniently corrects the vision of both of your eyes at the same time, unlike some operations which deal with one eye at a time. With laser vision correction you can resume your work just a couple of days after the completion of the procedure.
