Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if this procedure will work for me?

If you wear glasses all the time for your distance vision, you might be  a good candidate.  A complete exam by our LASIK surgeon,  Dr. Robert  Warren,   is necessary to make sure your eyes are normal and healthy.

What is the success rate of LASIK?

More than 96% of laser vision treatments have resulted in at least 20/40 vision without correction in national clinical trials. This means that those patients no longer need to wear glasses or contacts to pass a driving test or to perform most everyday functions.

Has anyone gone blind from this procedure? 

There have been no reported cases of blindness in the United States.

What restrictions or limitations will I have after the procedure? 

Most patients go back to work and resume all of their normal activities the next day following the laser vision correction. The only restriction is no swimming for 3 weeks.

What about pain? Does LASIK  hurt? 

NO. The anesthetic eye drops make the procedure painless.  You may experience a slight gritty or scratchy sensation in your eyes. Medication will be prescribed if needed to make you more comfortable.

Will I have to wear glasses after this procedure? 

There is a good possibility that you will not need to wear glasses for your distance vision.  However, if you are over 40, you will probably have to wear glasses for your close or reading vision. This is called presbyopia, which is a normal aging process. There is no surgery to correct the need for reading glasses after the age of 40.

How soon after LASIK  will I see well? 

In most cases, you should notice an immediate improvement.  Visual recovery varies for each person, but it is usually stable within three months.  The speed at which your vision improves is due to individual rates of healing and degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
