LASIK is a vision correction surgery that uses light energy to reshape your cornea and improve your sight. Using careful measurements, the highly accurate laser can improve your eyesight almost immediately. Say goodbye to glasses and contacts with a LASIK surgery from our vision specialists.
At Gelman Vision, we are proud to offer our patients LASIK eye surgery with the WaveLight Refractive Suite. Developed by the #1 global leader in eye care and relied on by surgeons around the world, the WaveLight system allows our team to provide state-of-the-art treatments tailored to your vision needs.
Every eye is uniquely-shaped. The first step in the procedure is to measure your eye.
To improve healing and comfort following surgery, the FS200 Femtosecond Laser utilizes the specific measurement of your eye to laser-cut a flap, rather than relying on manual cutting methods.
With a personalized treatment plan from your eye surgeon, the EX500 Excimer Laser corrects your vision by gently reshaping your cornea.
After the laser has completed its task, the flap is laid back in place, allowing healing to begin.
Downtime is minimal, and you can return to your normal routine in just a few days!
Before improving your vision with laser correction surgery, you’ll need an evaluation to find out if it’s the best option for you. Every person is unique and so are your eyes. Schedule a consultation appointment with our vision care team to find out if LASIK can make a difference in your sight today!
You may feel a little pressure and discomfort during the procedure. But with numbing eye drops, you shouldn’t feel any intense pain.
LASIK is designed to be completed in about 10 minutes. The procedure itself takes an average of 45 seconds.
Yes, you will be awake. But if you feel nervous or concerned about being awake, your surgeon can help you by giving you something to relax.
During the procedure, our vision care team will help you stay in the proper position. With our advanced laser system, the laser can track your eyes and give you the best possible outcome.
Just like in any kind of surgery, there are potential risks. For LASIK, the most common side effects are dry eye syndrome, still needing to wear corrective lenses, visual symptoms including glares or halos, and, in very rare cases, vision loss.
The likelihood of developing each of these risks is low, and most can be treated and resolved by your eye doctor.
LASIK is a permanent vision corrector, but it’s important to keep in mind that aging can still affect your vision even after corrective surgery.
You will need an evaluation with our surgeon, and you need to meet a few qualifications to determine if you’re a candidate for vision correction surgery:
