The LASIK PROCEDURE

Once your eye has been painlessly anesthetized, a comfortable device to prevent blinking will be situated between your eyelids.

Using a microkeratome, our doctors will create a protective flap in your cornea. In less than a minute, while you are focused on a "target' light, the laser painlessly reshapes your cornea.

Once the protective flap is properly repositioned, your incision will then securely and quickly bond stitch-free.

MYOPIA (Nearsighted)	HYPEROPIA (Farsighted)
Light rays are focused in front of the retina instead of directly on the retina	Light rays are not bent enough to focus directly on the retina
ASTIGMATISM	LASIK
Light rays are focused at more than one point on the retina	The Cornea is reshaped so light rays can focus directly on the retina

The FDA has approved laser vision correction as an alternative to eyeglasses and contact lens.
