If you currently use contact lenses you will certainly be asked to stop doing so for a couple of weeks prior to surgical treatment considering that they can impact the natural shape of your cornea.
An automated machine called a corneal topographer will certainly be made use of to gauge the curvature of the cornea and develop a “map” of it, and also you might likewise have a wavefront analysis which involves light waves entering into the eye to inspect the problems with your vision with extreme accuracy.

If you choose bladeless Lasik where the corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser, or a treatment utilizing wavefront innovation, anticipate to pay hundred dollars greater than ordinary for every eye. When the Lasik procedure is finished, your specialist will certainly ask you to relax for a short while prior to you are driven home.

You ought to additionally stay clear of carrying out any kind of sporting activity for a week or more considering that it could influence the healing procedure.
How Long Does Lasik Eye Surgery Last?

On the whole, Lasik surgery has an extremely 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”
