If you struggle with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism, you probably wear glasses or contact lenses to help you to see. This can be frustrating, especially if you misplace your glasses or lose a contact lens. You’ve probably heard of LASIK eye surgery and may be wondering if the procedure is right for you.
LASIK, which is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is a type of refractive eye surgery that employs a laser to change the shape of the cornea. This greatly improves a patient’s vision and can mean freedom from glasses and contact lenses.
It is important to choose a surgeon who has undergone specialized training in refractive surgery and who is able to accurately assess whether or not you are a good candidate for the surgery. Proper patient selection is crucial for a successful outcome. The surgeon should also be committed to your care from your initial consultation through your post-operative care.
