LASIK stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses. With LASIK surgery, a small, safe laser reshapes your cornea to rid you of certain eye conditions that negatively affect your sight. You can have LASIK surgery on one eye or both, and the procedure is quick, painless, and gives immediate results. A few things LASIK can help with include:
- Nearsightedness (myopia)
- Farsightedness (hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
Each of these conditions can occur due to the cornea curving too much or becoming too flat. LASIK surgery fixes this condition. After surgery, you will no longer need contacts or glasses. Post-surgery, you can recover in the comfort of your own home.
LASIK surgery isn’t for all people or all conditions. At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Centers, we can evaluate your candidacy for LASIK surgery with a consultation.
LASIK surgery is one of the safest forms of surgery and we have experienced surgeons and staff to ensure the integrity of your procedure. If you wear glasses, contacts, or have an eye condition and want to know more about if LASIK is right for you, contact us today.
