What is LASIK eye surgery?
LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery that can significantly reduce or, in some cases, completely eliminate a person’s dependency on corrective lenses by reshaping the cornea with a computer-controlled excimer laser. Using an extremely precise instrument called a microkeratome, the surgeon carefully creates a thin flap on the surface of the cornea, which he then folds back to expose the midsection of cornea. The computer-controlled laser corrects the curvature of the exposed corneal tissue according to predetermined calculations. After the corneal irregularity is corrected, the flap is replaced and the patient can return home. Stitches are not necessary, and most patients experience little or no discomfort after the procedure. Full restoration of visual acuity occurs within 24 to 48 hours of surgery. If you live in Columbus, central Ohio, West Virginia, or Kentucky, high-quality, affordable laser eye surgery is only a short drive away. Contact our office today to schedule a complimentar
