LASIK/LASEK
Welcome to the latest, exciting new alternative to glasses
and contacts. LASIK brings together the science of the Excimer
Laser and the skill of the surgeon to correct nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism. LASIK is a brief outpatient
procedure that could significantly lessen your dependence
on corrective lenses.
Some people encounter situations where the condition
or the shape of the eye makes them a poor candidate for
LASIK correction. However, a new procedure, called LASEK
may often be applied to those situations with positive results.
LASEK works without the need for cutting. Instead, a solution
is applied to the exterior of the eye which allows the doctor
to move the epithelium (outer layer) of the eye down, perform
the laser correction and then slide the epithelium back
into place. The procedure is quick and allows for faster
healing.
