If you currently wear contact lenses or glasses and have ever considered the possibility of freedom from them, you may be a candidate for laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses (LASIK). LASIK is an extremely popular and safe medical procedure where a special type of laser is utilized to carefully alter the shape of your cornea — the dome-shaped clear tissue located at the front of your eye— to improve and enhance your vision.
This surgical procedure is proven to be highly effective because it corrects the underlying issue of those experiencing farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism. In either of these conditions, the light is improperly bent by the cornea to result in blurred vision. While contact lenses and glasses may correct vision, LASIK reshapes the cornea to facilitate the right refraction and correct the underlying problem.
At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers of Texas, we’re one of the leading providers of LASIK in the Arlington area. In fact, we’re usually able to perform LASIK surgery on both eyes in as little as 15 minutes. Because it’s an outpatient surgery, you will be able to relax in the comfort of your own home as your eyes heal.
