State-of-the-Art Vision Correction Procedures
LASIK Eye Surgery for Better Vision
If you’re tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses and you’re ready for clearer eyesight, LASIK can be a powerful treatment option. LASIK is a method for adjusting the curvature of the eye to provide clear vision for those who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.
If you’re looking for LASIK eye surgery, Pharr, TX, residents can count on Doctor Rachel Gelman. As a board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Gelman has the skills needed to help patients achieve their vision goals. Our eye care team is committed to helping those in the Rio Grande Valley find superior solutions for their vision problems, and we work to ensure all patients have a great experience while in our office.
What Eye Conditions Does LASIK Surgery Treat?
While there are things that can disqualify you from LASIK, you might be a good candidate for LASIK if you have stable, minor to moderate vision issues, without the presence of other eye concerns such as glaucoma or diabetes. LASIK can be used to treat the following conditions:
Nearsightedness
Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, in which close objects appear clear while distance vision is blurry, is treated by reducing the curve of the eye.
Farsightedness
Farsightedness or hyperopia, where distant objects are clear and close objects are blurry, is treated by increasing the curve of the eye.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism, which involves an imperfectly curved cornea, is treated by reshaping the eye to resolve the imperfection.

What to Expect From LASIK Eye Surgery
Measuring Your Eye
After a consultation to confirm your treatment and schedule surgery, your LASIK procedure will begin with precision measurements of your eyes.
Creating a Flap
A highly advanced laser is used to create a flap on the surface of your eye, allowing access to the cornea.
Correcting Vision
The affected tissue is targeted by another specialty laser to precisely reshape the cornea, relying on a personalized treatment plan.
Repositioning the Flap
After the vision correction is performed, the flap is returned into place to begin healing.
Seeing More Clearly
You should only have to wait about 24 hours to begin seeing clearly again after your visit.
