Doctors Care

When your vision starts to become a problem, the first thing that comes to our mind is to consult a doctor and wear prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. Actually, no it’s not the only option. In fact, you can go without your glasses or contacts if you prefer to undergo LASIK eye procedure. It’s fast and very effective.

 

What Is LASIK Eye Procedure?

 

LASIK or Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis is a laser eye surgery that is very popular all over the world. This is used to treat myopia or nearsightedness, hyperopia or farsightedness, as well as astigmatism and other eye conditions. This is one of the most preferred types of refractive surgery where it reshapes your cornea so let the light that is entering your eye focus more on the retina to give you a clearer vision.

 

Is it painful? No, it’s not. This is pain-free and can be completed on both eyes in just 15 minutes. The results are fast too! Imagine, in just 24 hours, you can start saying goodbye to your eyeglasses or contact lenses because as soon as that, you will begin to feel the changes in your vision.

 

LASIK Procedure Long-Term Results

 

Some people are wondering if after doing the surgery, the results would last forever? Yes, the LASIK eye surgery is a permanent procedure done on your cornea. Most people who have done LASIK will achieve a 20/20 vision, or even better! But of course, others would only achieve 20/40 vision or even less. After the operation, you might still need to wear your glasses or contact lenses but most likely, your prescription level would be much lower compared to what you have before.
