What Does LASIK Eye Surgery Fix?

LASIK Surgery is the most common laser vision correction surgery. This vision correction procedure is an alternative to contact lenses or glasses. LASIK eye surgery is an option to corrective lenses for those who suffer from certain eye conditions, such as farsightedness (hyperopia), nearsightedness (myopia), and astigmatism. Otherwise known as situ keratomileusis, this procedure involves refractive surgery using a specialized laser cutting tool to reshape the cornea, resulting in vastly improved vision.

Millions of people have had the procedure performed and are now enjoying clear eyesight without the need to wear glasses or contact lenses… and sharing their experience in LASIK eye surgery reviews. An ICON eye doctor or LASIK surgeon can discuss whether or not you are a LASIK candidate. As one of the most common elective ocular surgeries performed on a worldwide basis, LASIK is a safe, pain-free, and effective choice for patients experiencing astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness.

How do I know if LASIK eye surgery is right for me?

Do contacts irritate your eyes? Do glasses get in the way during sports and activities? Are you tired of swapping out regular glasses for prescription sunglasses? If you’re fed up with the hassle of contacts and glasses – and all the supplies, appointments, and expenses that come with them – LASIK could provide the freedom you’ve been looking for.

In general, laser eye surgery is best for people who have a moderate refractive error and no unusual vision problems. There are other refractive procedures for vision correction like photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), EVO ICL, and Clear Lens Exchange (CLE) that may be a better option for you and your unique needs.Our ICON Eyecare team is dedicated to providing you with a high-quality consultation. Your complimentary appointment will include a full eye exam using advanced diagnostic tools and pupil dilation. Comprehensive testing will provide a full picture of your eye health to determine if LASIK, or another vision correction, is a safe and effective solution for you.
