What Is LASIK?
Our team has extensive experience performing some of the most innovative refractive surgery procedures, for example, no-blade LASIK. LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is ophthalmology's most requested refractive treatment. Millions of men and women around the globe have had this transformative procedure and are thrilled with their improved vision. LASIK surgery can reduce or eliminate nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by strategically altering the cornea's contour, which means that light can focus normally on the retina. The best aspects of LASIK are that it is swift, virtually painless, and offers lasting clear vision.
At IC Laser Eye Care, we aim for everybody to achieve their absolutely best vision. We know that sharp eyesight can tremendously impact the quality of life and that getting the clearest eyesight possible can optimize everything, from job performance to favorite recreational activities. Contact IC Laser Eye Care in Bensalem, PA, Philadelphia, PA, or Hamilton, NJ, or Suburban Eye Associates in Huntingdon Valley, PA to schedule a consultation to see if laser vision correction could be the right choice for you. You may soon be days away from lowering or even eliminating your dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
What Should I Expect with LASIK?
LASIK is a surprisingly quick, precise, cutting-edge vision correction treatment. Plus, most individuals don't notice any pain during the surgery. Typically, the surgery lasts about ten minutes, from start to finish. Before beginning the surgery, the patient's eyes will be thoroughly numbed with no-sting eye drops to ensure the most comfort. Then, a suction ring will be put over each eye to ensure the eyes can't move. People receiving LASIK can't see this device and will not feel a thing but a little "push" sensation on the eye. Next, we will utilize the innovative laser instrument to create a very thin corneal flap. The flap will then be gently folded out of the way, and the laser will be used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. As soon as this is done, we will adjust the flap back into its proper position. Remarkably, it can then heal on its own with no need for stitches. Generally, patients who undergo LASIK can have better vision than ever within one day.
