Laser Eye Surgery Explained
Laser eye surgery, including LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and other refractive procedures, corrects common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Adjusting the shape of the cornea with a precise laser allows light to focus correctly on the retina.
Laser eye surgery is a safe and effective way to reduce or eliminate dependence on corrective lenses, and many patients experience significant improvement in their vision almost immediately after the procedure.
Surgery Co-Management
Co-management involves working together with your eye surgeon to ensure the best possible care before and after your procedure. As your trusted optometrists at Lakeside Eye Associates, we handle the initial consultations, conduct pre-surgical evaluations, and provide detailed post-operative care while your surgeon performs the surgery.
This partnership ensures that:
- Your eyes are properly evaluated to determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for surgery.
- Your care is customized to your needs before, during, and after the procedure.
- Post-surgery care is handled conveniently and close to home, with our team monitoring your recovery.
Laser Eye Surgery Consultations
When you visit Lakeside Eye Associates for a laser eye surgery consultation, you’re not just signing up for a quick check-up—you’re beginning a personalized journey with a team dedicated to your vision health.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
We begin with an examination of your eyes to assess your overall eye health and vision needs. This includes checking your corneal thickness, pupil size, and other factors to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
Discussing Your Options
During your consultation, we'll explain your available laser eye surgery options, such as LASIK, PRK, or SMILE, and discuss which option best suits your needs.
Candidacy Evaluation
Not everyone is a candidate for laser eye surgery, and our candidacy evaluation ensures we only recommend surgery if it’s the right choice for your eyes and overall health.
Pre-Surgery Guidance
If you’re a candidate for surgery, we’ll guide you through the next steps, including scheduling your procedure, explaining how to prepare for surgery, and answering any questions you may have.
Post-Surgery Follow-Ups
After your surgery, we’ll handle all your follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process, check for complications, and ensure your vision is improving as expected.
