LASIK corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which are refractive errors caused by irregularly shaped or curved corneas. The goal of LASIK is to reshape the cornea so that it alters the way light enters the eye, and vision becomes sharper and more focused.
This can significantly reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contacts, and give you crystal clear, high definition vision for decades. At Schwartz Laser Eye Center, our experienced ophthalmologists use advanced technologies like the iFS Advanced femtosecond laser, VISX CustomVue wavefront system, and the iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio System to offer you personalized, precise treatment for the best visual outcomes.
People who are over 18, in good health, and have a stable vision prescription that can be corrected with refractive surgery are generally good candidates for LASIK. During your initial consultation, Dr. Schwartz will examine your eyes to confirm whether LASIK is suitable for you.
Occasionally, factors like having a thin cornea or other eye conditions may make LASIK an inappropriate choice. In these cases, Dr. Schwartz may suggest an alternative procedure like PRK, ICL (implantable contact lens), or clear lens exchange to help you lower your dependency on prescription eyewear.
At Schwartz Laser Eye Center, we understand that blurry vision can negatively impact one’s overall quality of life. Additionally, while contact lenses and eyeglasses are effective in correcting some vision problems temporarily, they aren’t adequate for every condition, and can be a hassle at times.
