What is LASIK?

LASIK surgery has been proven to be successful in treating a variety of common vision conditions, including:

  • Myopia
  • Hyperopia
  • Astigmatism
  • And Other Common Eye Conditions

The procedure utilizes advanced lasers to precisely and delicately correct these vision issues. By creating a thin flap in the cornea, your LASIK surgeon can reshape the cornea, leaving you with 20/20 vision or better.

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?

Our northern San Antonio eye doctor has years of experience evaluating potential LASIK candidates and is happy to work closely with you to determine your eligibility. However, there are a few main factors that will help us determine whether or not LASIK is right for you, including:

  • LASIK candidates must be 18 or older.
  • Your eyes should be generally healthy with no eye diseases or corneal abnormalities.
  • Patients must be able to lie flat without difficulty or discomfort during the procedure.
  • Do you play sports, have allergies or are you looking to simplify your lifestyle without the use of contact and eyeglasses?
  • Can you stop wearing contacts for at least 2 to 4 weeks before the procedure?

In addition to advanced diagnostic testing, our northern San Antonio eye doctor will consider these questions when performing a pre-operative evaluation with you. If you are determined to be a good candidate for the procedure, our eye doctor in northern San Antonio will then begin the referral process to find a qualified LASIK surgeon in the area.

Post-Operative Care with Our Optometrist in Northern San Antonio

Once we’ve scheduled your surgery, our eye doctor in northern San Antonio will schedule several follow-up appointments to track your healing progress. Typically, your first appointment will be the day after surgery and continue over the course of the next 6 months. After a full calendar year, a final comprehensive eye exam is recommended. Our experienced team will be there to help you through any discomforts, including dry eye and make sure you have everything you need to make sure your LASIK surgery is a success!
