Laser Eye Surgery Consultation | Focus Optical

Envision a Glasses-Free Future

If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you’ve probably thought about what life might be like if you didn’t have to. Laser eye surgery can help you wake up in the morning and see your alarm clock clearly!

The first step in exploring the possibility of laser eye surgery is a comprehensive eye exam and consultation. We’ll begin by taking a detailed look at your eyes and learning more about your health history and lifestyle needs.

We’ll also discuss your expectations for the surgery. Many people achieve 20/20 vision after their procedure, but there are people who need glasses or contact lenses post-surgery. In most cases, laser eye surgery decreases reliance on corrective lenses.

We can help you to navigate the different types of laser eye surgery available and determine whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure. Start your laser eye surgery journey by booking a consultation today!

Who Can Benefit from Laser Eye Surgery?

To be considered a candidate for laser eye surgery, your eyes must be in good health. Infections, severe dry eye, or recent trauma may mean you’ll need to delay the procedure.

Here are a few other considerations for surgery:

You must be 18 years of age or older
Your refractive error must be within a suitable range
Your prescription must be stable

What Is Laser Eye Surgery?

Laser eye surgery is a group of procedures—all just a little bit different—that use a laser to correct refractive errors in your vision.

Technological advances have made several types of laser vision correction possible, but the most common types are LASIK and PRK.

LASIK

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) involves a surgeon cutting a flap in your cornea. This flap is then folded back and the remaining layers are reshaped with a precision laser.

Once the reshaping is complete, the surgeon will return the flap to its original position and the cornea will repair itself. Post-surgery surveys report high levels of satisfaction with LASIK.

PRK

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) involves the surgeon removing the top layer of the cornea altogether, then reshaping the remaining layers.

Is Laser Surgery Right for Me?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with laser eye surgery. We will educate you about the risks and will support you in making an informed decision.
