LASIK

There have been enormous advances in the field of refractive surgery.

During LASIK surgery a small flap the thickness of a contact lens is formed. The flap is lifted and an Excimer laser is used to correct various refractive errors e.g., myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness) and astigmatism. The flap is folded back onto the cornea and attaches within minutes.

Many patients experience vision that is, as good or even better before surgery with their contacts of spectacles. Not all patients are candidates, and you therefore need an examination by an ophthalmologist to determine eligibility.
