What is LASIK Eye Surgery?

VisuMax

LASIK is a non-invasive eye surgery using the technology of the excimer laser to reshape the cornea. LASIK uses a beam of cool light to reshape the top layer of the cornea so that images focus correctly on the retina. Prior to LASIK surgery, numerous tests will be performed on your eyes to determine the amount of correction needed. A computer, controlled by your LASIK eye surgeon, is used to precisely calculate the exact amount of cornea that needs to be removed for each person’s individual eyes.

What to Expect From Laser Eye Surgery

During LASIK, our femtosecond LASIK laser will be used to create a thin flap from the surface of the cornea. This laser takes the place of the microkeratome blade that is used in traditional LASIK. The flap is then lifted to expose the inner layer of the cornea. Once the flap is lifted the excimer laser is then used to treat this inner layer. The excimer is used to re-shape the underlying corneal tissue to correct any irregularities.

LASIK Aftercare

After LASIK surgery is complete, the corneal flap is set back into place. This flap will naturally bond to the treated cornea, eliminating the need for sutures. Natural pressure from the eyelid and other factors will help to hold the flap in place as healing occurs, minimizing discomfort.

LASIK Eye Surgery

The center of the cornea is now flattened, allowing light rays to be focused more precisely on the retina and images will be seen more sharply. Most patients will notice a dramatic improvement after their LASIK surgery. However, maximum improvement will occur over the next three to four weeks. Both antibiotic drops and steroid drops will be used for a period of one week following LASIK surgery to ensure the cornea is properly healing. Artificial tears will also be used abundantly to help keep the cornea smooth and moist during the healing period. Clear Choice Custom LASIK Center is proud to offer Ohio’s premier LASIK laser vision correction services to the Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, Youngstown, and Brecksville areas.

What Vision Conditions Does LASIK Correct?

Nearsightedness

Also called myopia, nearsightedness is an eye condition in which you can view objects up close clearly, but things farther away may appear blurry. LASIK does an excellent job of correcting nearsightedness. Please consult your LASIK surgeon to determine your level of nearsightedness as LASIK cannot treat high levels of myopia.

Farsightedness

Also called hyperopia, farsightedness is the inability to see near objects as clearly as distant objects, and the need for accommodation to see distant objects clearly.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a relatively common eye condition involving an irregular curvature of the cornea. Physical irregularities in the cornea cause distortion of the viewed image on the retina.
