LASIK Changes Lives

For more than a decade, laser vision correction has helped more than three million people by dramatically reducing their dependency on eyeglasses and contact lenses. LASIK is fast, easy, and relatively comfortable, and it can truly change the way you see the world by providing unprecedented freedom and a whole new outlook on life.

LASIK (laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis) uses a computer-controlled excimer laser to correct myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism (irregular cornea shape), and hyperopia (farsightedness). A cool-beam laser gently reshapes the cornea to a more natural curvature, resulting in better vision. The reshaping takes place under a protective flap of corneal tissue to promote rapid recovery and minimize discomfort.
