LASIK (an acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) uses the computer-guided excimer laser to reshape the cornea (the clear covering of the front of the eye) to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. In nearly all cases, LASIK is pain-free and takes about 15 minutes to perform for both eyes. Prior to LASIK surgery, numerous tests will be performed on your eyes to determine the amount of correction needed.

Our eye care solutions and surgeons may be able to help you reduce or perhaps even end your dependence on glasses. For the majority of our cataract surgery cases, we use monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) that are placed inside your eye to correct for cataracts, as well as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or presbyopia.

Depending upon the condition of a person's eye, it is possible that LASIK is not the right approach for them. There was a time when patients who had astigmatism or who only had trouble with their up-close vision were not considered to be good candidates. But as technology has improved, this isn't always the case anymore. Other people are not candidates because of a very high prescription or a dry eye or a thin cornea.
