LASIK is an eye surgery involving the use of advanced and highly effective laser technology to correct the deterioration and changes in the shape of your corneas, which are the transparent layer that forms the front of your eye.
LASIK is used to correct a number of common vision problems, including:
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that involves farsightedness caused by a loss of elasticity in the lens of your eye.
If you’re farsighted, you’re able to see objects far away better than close-up.
Nearsightedness means you can only see things that are close to you, but objects far away appear blurry.
Astigmatism is common. If you have astigmatism, there’s a deviation in the spherical curvature of your eye that causes blurry, distorted images.
LASIK eye surgery corrects and reshapes the deformation in your cornea to make sure that light can be properly refracted to your retina. Reshaping your cornea gives you clear vision.
Prior to your LASIK eye surgery consultation, you need to stop wearing your contact lenses for two weeks. Contacts can temporarily change the shape of your cornea, and the team at Crossroads Optometry needs to be able to evaluate the natural shape of your cornea.
During your consultation, your provider goes over your medical history and determines if you’re a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery. They conduct a comprehensive eye exam to assess your eye health and determine if your eyes are healthy enough for surgery.
They also test your pupil dilation and eye pressure, confirm your prescription, and measure the curvature and thickness of your corneas.
To be a good candidate for LASIK, you must have realistic goals about what you can achieve with the surgery. For some people, LASIK may be a permanent solution, but for others may still need reading glasses or corrective eyewear after LASIK.
LASIK isn’t suitable for:
You must have good eye health to be a suitable candidate, and your prescription must have stayed the same for the previous year. Only certain prescriptions can be corrected with LASIK.
