What Is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK surgery is a type of refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. There are many types of LASIK including Bladeless LASIK, Wavefront LASIK, Lifestyle LASIK, etc.

Will I Have Perfect Vision After LASIK?

We can’t guarantee a specific result after LASIK surgery, but most of our patients experience a dramatic improvement in their vision after treatment. Many patients see better after LASIK than they did before, even when they were wearing glasses or contacts. Dr. Will’s advanced skill and expertise as a leading refractive surgeon leads to better results.

Is LASIK Affordable?

LASIK is an investment in your vision. Can you really place a value of good vision? If you average the cost of your procedure over 10 years, LASIK costs less than a dollar a day. We offer payment plans and 0% financing to make LASIK more accessible to our patients.

I’ve Been Told I’m Not a Candidate for LASIK. Why Not?

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK elsewhere, come see Dr. Will. Our advanced techniques make LASIK possible for more patients. We’ve helped many patients to discover better vision, including those that have been told they aren’t candidates for LASIK by other practices.

Is LASIK Painful?

Most patients experience little to no pain during and after LASIK. During the procedure, you’ll feel pressure as we create the LASIK flap. This takes about 20 seconds and is not considered painful by most patients. We recommend that patients take a nap right after surgery. We’ll provide a sedative to help you relax. There is a slight burning sensation for about three hours after LASIK. If you fall asleep, you won’t experience this discomfort.

What Are the Risks of LASIK?

LASIK has a very high success rate. Like all surgeries, LASIK does have some risks. We will carefully review the risks of LASIK surgery with you prior to your procedure. Some risks include halos, glare, dry eye, flap complications, and over or undercorrection. The risk of these complications is minimal and a skilled LASIK surgeon like Dr. Will can minimize the likelihood that you’ll experience problems after LASIK surgery.
