LASIK eye surgery is a popular procedure designed to correct vision problems caused by refractive errors. This advanced laser surgery reshapes the cornea to improve the way light rays are focused on the retina, helping to address issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. At Azman Eye Care Specialists, we offer expert LASIK surgery to help reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

What Is the Procedure for LASIK Eye Surgery?

Understanding LASIK eye surgery can help ease any concerns and prepare you for a smooth experience. During LASIK, Dr. Adler will use a laser to enhance the focus of light rays on your retina. This procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes per eye and is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you will not need to stay overnight in a hospital.

After the Procedure:

  • You may experience scratchy or burning sensations in your eyes for a few hours.
  • You will be given eye drops to aid healing and reduce dryness.
  • Vision improvement is typically noticed within a few days.
