| What is
LASIK? |
| LASIK, short for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis,
is a surgical procedure that uses a cool ( non-thermal) beam
of light to gently reshape the cornea-the surface of the eye-to
improve vision, The laser removes microscopic bits of tissue
to flatten the cornea (for nearsightedness), steepen the cornea
(for farsightedness), and/or smooth out comeal lrregularities
(for astigmatism), In most cases, the thickness of the layer
of corneal tissue removed by the laser is less than the thickness
of a human hair, The goal of any laser vision correction procedure
is to reshape the cornea so it does a better job of focusing
images onto the retina, |
| Is LASIK
safe? |
| The FDA recognizes LASIK as proven, safe and effective,
According to guidelines recently released by the Eye Surgery
Education Council (ESEC),fewer than 1% of patients who have
received LASIK to date have experienced serious, vision-threatening
problems, Most LASIK complications can be treated and usually
resolve within several months of surgery, There are no known
cases of blindness resulting from LASIK |
| Is LASIK
painful? |
| The procedure is painless, however, most people experience
4-6 hours of mild irritation after their LASIK procedure, |
| Will a person’s
vision remain stable long after the procedure? |
| The vision correction is permanent, However, a person’s
vision may change naturally with time and LASIK does not affect
visual conditions that may develop with age. Also, LASIK does
not prevent presbyopia and the eventual need for reading glasses,Depending
on the cause, retreatment may be a viable solution to later
vision changes, and other treatment options also exist, |

area you wish to have treated, the hair density, and your
hair’s growth cycle. The laser treats the hair in the growth
cycle only. Since all hair follicles are not in the same growth
cycle at the same time, multiple treatments are required to
deliver optimal results. Treatment results will vary from
patient to patient depending on skin and hair color |
