Is LASIK Right for You?

The success of LASIK depends mainly on your eyes. You may be a good candidate for LASIK if your vision is stable, you have myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea, the clear covering of your eye), and you have no other eye problems. You also need to understand the possible risks and be realistic about what to expect.

LASIK works well with most people. but there is no guarantee that you'll have perfect vision or ever need distance or reading glasses again.

It takes just several days to a few weeks for your eye to heal and your vision to clear.

You'll feel minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.

A comfort zone for discussion of a disturbing topic.
     We never lose sight of the fact that any threat to your vision conjures up the same fears you had as a child playing a game of blind man's bluff -- it's the last thing anyone wants to imagine as adult reality.
     Our entire staff is knowledgeable about your vision problem and any recommended or elective procedure you are considering.
     You can rely on them to be compassionate and informative throughout every stage of your evaluation and treatment.
     Your questions are encouraged and answered in detail. And family members are always welcome to attend consultations with you.
