LASIK
LASIK is a commonly performed method of vision correction that is relatively painless and simple, and offers good vision almost immediately after surgery. The actual surgery takes less than one minute. “Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis” surgery – abbreviated LASIK – uses a laser beam to physically reshape the cornea.
The cornea works in much the same way as that the lens of a camera helps to focus light and create an image on film. Many people have imperfections of their cornea, causing blurred vision that needs correction. Before the advent of LASIK surgery, the only way to correct these imperfections was to wear glasses or contact lenses. With LASIK surgery, you now have another option for reducing these natural imperfections. Additionally, for those patients who are candidates, wave-front guided LASIK, or Custom-Vue, brings a whole new level of precision and accuracy to LASIK surgery.
If you are considering LASIK or another form of laser vision correction, contact us today or call (910) 762-4440 to schedule a complimentary consultation.
