If you're interested in having LASIK eye surgery for vision correction, you want to work with an ophthalmologist you can trust and rely on.

We can walk you through the procedure, answer your questions, and help you understand how to handle your recovery, too.

What is LASIK Eye Surgery?

LASIK is designed to help you see more clearly by using a laser to reshape your cornea and refocus your eye. The procedure is safe and effective for most people and can give you back 20/20 vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. By working with your ophthalmologist, you can find out if you're a good candidate for LASIK and what kind of recovery you can expect from it.

How Long Does LASIK Recovery Take?

Recovery from LASIK doesn't take long, but good eye care during the recovery period is extremely important. Your eyes are at risk for infection for a few days after the procedure, and you'll have medicated drops that you'll need to use on a schedule.

You also have to avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, but you should be able to see clearly almost immediately after the surgery. Following your doctor's instructions is the best way to be sure that you're giving your eyes the best chance to heal quickly.
