Lasik Eye Surgery

Your eye doctor will certainly use either a femtosecond laser or a microkeratome which will certainly develop a really slim circular flap in the cornea.

Then making use of an excimer laser the doctor will certainly eliminate trace elements of the underlying cornea (the stroma) which will reshape the cornea right into the preferred position. The object for nearsighted people is to squash the cornea, whereas for farsighted people it is to make the cornea steeper.
The excimer laser produces a cool ultraviolet light beam to get rid of the little quantities of tissue from the eye, and only topical anaesthetic drops are required.
When the laser has actually reshaped the cornea, the flap is replaced back over the area and the corneal tissue will certainly recover normally. There are no stitches or bandages called for.

If you currently put on contact lenses you will be asked to stop doing so for a few weeks prior to surgical treatment given that they can impact the natural shape of your cornea.
An automatic machine called a corneal topographer will certainly be made use of to measure the curvature of the cornea and develop a “map” of it, and you may additionally have a wavefront evaluation which includes light waves going into the eye to examine the troubles with your vision with severe accuracy.
What Is The Cost Of Lasik Eye Surgery?

If you choose bladeless Lasik where the corneal flap is produced with a femtosecond laser, or a treatment making use of wavefront technology, anticipate to pay hundred dollars greater than ordinary for every eye. When the Lasik treatment is finished, your cosmetic surgeon will ask you to rest momentarily before you are driven home.

Overall, Lasik surgery has a very 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”
