Is Laser Eye Surgery Right for You?

Ideal candidates typically meet the following criteria:

Age: 18 years or older
Stable prescription: Your vision should be stable for at least 2 years
Overall eye health: Healthy eyes, free of conditions like cataracts or severe dry eyes
Realistic expectations: Understanding surgery may not fully eliminate the need for glasses, especially for reading
No pregnancy or nursing: Hormonal changes can affect vision

A full evaluation during your consultation will determine your suitability.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

During your laser eye surgery consultation, we’ll conduct a thorough eye exam to assess your eye health and vision, including:

Measurement of your corneal thickness
Refraction tests to determine your prescription
A review of your medical and eye history
A discussion about your expectations and lifestyle needs

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the surgery, potential outcomes, and what to expect during the recovery process. Our goal is to help you feel informed and confident moving forward.

Common Laser
Surgery Options

While laser eye surgery can significantly improve your vision, it’s important to understand that no surgery can guarantee perfect vision or completely eliminate the need for glasses or contacts.

Many patients experience great results, but some may still need reading glasses as they age or in certain lighting conditions. During your consultation, we’ll help you set realistic expectations for the outcome.

We provide consultations for the most common types of laser eye surgeries. Each surgery has its advantages, and we’ll discuss which option best suits your eye health and vision goals.

What to Expect After Surgery

Post-surgery care is essential for recovery. We offer follow-up appointments to track your healing, check for complications, and check how your vision is progressing. Some discomfort and blurry vision are normal initially, but most patients achieve clear vision within a few days to weeks.

While laser eye surgery is generally safe, some minor side effects may occur, such as:

Temporary dry eyes
Halos or glare at night
Fluctuating vision

These usually improve over time, and we’ll discuss potential risks during your consultation.
