Interested in Laser Vision Correction but not sure if you’re a candidate? The LASIK self test can help. Start the test:
Imagine what it would be like to wake up with crisp, clear vision. No glasses to fumble with, no contacts to put in. This is what life is like after LASIK surgery — the most popular form of laser vision correction in the world. The LASIK experts at Georgia Eye Associates help patients achieve 20/20 vision!
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a refractive surgery. It corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK reduces or eliminates the need for glasses and contacts. This is done using laser technology to reshape the cornea and improve vision.
LASIK enables the physician to measure and correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision. Many of these imperfections could never be measured before using standard methods for glasses and contact lenses. LASIK surgery is performed on one eye at a time and takes about 5-10 minutes per eye. Most patients have 20/20 vision after LASIK.
Many patients even say that their vision has visibly improved just hours after! Recovery from LASIK is quick, allowing you to return to many of your normal activities in as little as 24 hours.
book nowUntil now, physicians were forced to practice one-size-fits-all vision. An off-the-shelf lens corrects an individual’s vision fairly well, but it does not correct it precisely because it is not uniquely tailored to that person’s fingerprint of vision. Now, with Wave Scan technology, we can custom tailor a correction for the unique characteristics of each individual’s vision.
Blade-free LASIK has become the gold standard for the surgeons of Georgia Eye Associates. It is the latest and most accurate treatment in LASIK technology. Blade-free LASIK uses a second laser called the femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap, instead of using a microkeratome blade. The femtosecond laser (Zeimer Ophthalmic Systems, Switzerland) has several advantages over standard LASIK. It produces a more accurate-sized flap, which is critical for optimal results. Also, a corneal flap made by a laser can be retreated during the same procedure if the surgeon wishes; surgeons using a microkeratome would have to wait several months before retreating. Finally, patients find blade-free LASIK to be somewhat more comfortable than standard or wavefront LASIK.
