LASIK, or Laser in-Situ Keratomilieusis offers a number of benefits over other forms of laser vision correction because it is performed under a protective layer of corneal tissue where the cornea is reshaped with a cool, sensation- free laser. As a result, there is less surface area to heal, less risk of corneal haze, less postoperative discomfort, less postoperative need for medications, and vision returns more rapidly, often within a day or so. 

LASIK can also treat a higher range of vision errors.  Although postoperative results vary, most patients are able to pass a driver's license test without their glasses or contact lenses within 2 days of their treatment.

Vivid eyesight requires the expertise of a highly trained surgeon. Putting your trust in the hands of a surgeon’s reputation, experience, and training requires careful consideration. When asking questions, be certain to balance cost, emotion, and marketing with reputation, experience, and training. Ask all your questions and carefully consider the skills, experience, and technology at the surgeon’s disposal.

Taking the extra time to research the credentials and experience of the surgeon will allow you to achieve the best possible results.
