Understanding LASIK Surgery: Your Comprehensive Guide

Understanding LASIK Surgery: Your Comprehensive Guide

If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up and seeing clearly without the need for glasses or contact lenses, LASIK surgery may be the solution you've been looking for. LASIK, which stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular and effective refractive surgery designed to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. At Insight Eyecare, we are committed to guiding our patients through every step of their vision correction journey, including LASIK co-management for the best possible outcomes.

 

What Is LASIK and How Does It Work?

LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, so light entering the eye is properly focused onto the retina. This reshaping process helps to improve vision and reduce dependency on corrective lenses. The procedure is quick, usually lasting about 15 minutes for both eyes, and most patients experience improved vision almost immediately or by the next day.

 

Who Is a Candidate for LASIK?

Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, which is why a comprehensive eye exam is essential. Ideal candidates are typically over 18 years old, have had a stable prescription for at least a year, and are in good overall eye health. Those with thin corneas, severe dry eye, or certain medical conditions may not qualify but may be eligible for alternative procedures.

 

The Role of Co-Management in LASIK

One of the best ways to ensure a smooth and successful LASIK experience is through co-management. This involves a collaborative approach between your local optometrist at Insight Eyecare and the LASIK surgeon. Before surgery, our team conducts your initial evaluation and educates you about the procedure. After surgery, we provide follow-up care including monitoring the healing process, addressing any post-operative concerns, and ensuring your eyes are healing properly.

 

This co-managed approach benefits you by keeping your care local and personal. You’ll work with a team you already know and trust, and we’ll ensure continuity and convenience every step of the way.
