Chances are, you’ve heard of LASIK. But do you know what it does or what the procedure entails? LASIK is a form of laser vision correction, one of the most popular elective surgeries in the U.S. Using a laser beam, an eye surgeon can reshape the cornea of your eye to make it more ideal for focusing light, thus improving your vision.
Do you want better vision? LASIK may be able to give you the vision you’ve always wanted, without the need for contacts or glasses. A lot has happened in the last 20 years. Better results and technology due to advances of topography-guided LASIK, which is a more custom procedure that maps your eye’s unique shapes and curves. Also, the latest advancement in technology SMILE which is an acronym that stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. SMILE is a minimally invasive procedure providing LASIK-like outcomes.
LASIK has changed how millions of people view the world, it isn’t always right for everybody. To make sure you are an ideal candidate for LASIK, make sure you have a series of tests and measurements with an eye surgeon. Also, discuss any health conditions or medications you may be taking.
