About LASIK

LASIK is the latest and most advanced treatment for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This three-step procedure begins with the creation of a microscopically thin layer of the cornea ( the "flap"). The flap is them lifted back and a computer-guided laser treats the eye to correct the blurred vision. The flap is them replaced and adheres within seconds. No stitches, eye patch or medicines other than eye drops are used.

Range of correction

LASIK can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The majority of people with these vision problems are candidates for LASIK. Some people with extremely strong glasses prescriptions, certain eye conditions and health problems may not be candidates for LASIK.
