Lasik Eye Surgery
Throw Away Those Reading Glasses For Good!
Your eye cosmetic surgeon will certainly use either a femtosecond laser or a microkeratome which will certainly produce a really thin circular flap in the cornea.

Then using an excimer laser the specialist will eliminate minute amounts of the underlying cornea (the stroma) which will reshape the cornea into the desired position. The object for nearsighted patients is to flatten the cornea, whereas for farsighted clients it is to make the cornea steeper.
The excimer laser generates a cool ultraviolet light beam to eliminate the tiny amounts of tissue from the eye, and just topical anaesthetic drops are required.
When the laser has actually improved the cornea, the flap is replaced back over the location and the corneal tissue will heal naturally. There are no stitches or bandages called for.

If you currently use contact lenses you will certainly be asked to stop doing so for a few weeks before surgery because they could impact the natural shape of your cornea.
An automated device called a corneal topographer will certainly be made use of to determine the curvature of the cornea and create a “map” of it, and also you may additionally have a wavefront evaluation which involves light waves entering into the eye to inspect the problems with your vision with severe accuracy.
What Is The Cost Of Lasik Eye Surgery?
Laser surgery cost can vary quite considerable from one doctor to another, however an average number would be about $2,750 for each eye. You may be able to get Lasik surgery for as low as $1,950 per eye, and a really little percent of eye cosmetic surgeons may bill as much as $3,750.
If you select bladeless Lasik where the corneal flap is developed with a femtosecond laser, or a treatment making use of wavefront technology, anticipate to pay a few hundred dollars more than ordinary for every eye. When the Lasik procedure is completed, your doctor will certainly ask you to relax for a short while before you are driven home.

You need to also stay clear of undertaking any type of sport for a week or more since it can impact the recovery process.
How Long Does Lasik Eye Surgery Last?

A very small number of people could need a “retouch” procedure a couple of months after therapy, but Lasik eye surgery is not likely to last for a lifetime because the eye changes as we age, so you may require glasses for reading as you age. Generally, Lasik surgery has a really high rate of success.

“I had my LASIK 10 days ago and I felt like I did 10 years ago when I didn’t have to wear glasses. Dr. Sheth is very professional and I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my vision in his hands.
The surgery was quick and painless. The next day I felt like I never had surgery and couldn’t believe that I can see so good. My eyes felt completely normal with no discomfort at all and no dry eyes. However, the eye drops are very important and I am following the schedule.
Everybody at Sheth-Horsley Eye Center is very professional and everyone is very nice and friendly. The waiting room is very welcoming as well!
Thank you Dr. Sheth and staff for giving me my vision back!”
“This is long overdue but I have been wanting to share how much I love the LASIK surgery that I had done last fall.
I have been wearing glasses forever since I was 12 years old. I had a hard time with contacts.
I never thought I was a candidate for the surgery as I had a stigmatism. But Dr. Sheth told me differently.
The surgery was easy and quick and so was the recovery.
I feel like a new person and love that I don’t need any glasses or contacts.
It is complete freedom.
Thanks for all and the staff at Sheth-Horsley is wonderful and professional.
Best,
Joanne”
