The LASIK Procedure

Many people wonder how LASIK works and what to expect during the procedure. LASIK is a quick and virtually painless outpatient surgery that typically takes only a few minutes per eye. Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:

During the LASIK procedure, your eye will be numbed with anesthetic eye drops to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. A specialized laser is used to create a thin flap on the cornea. This flap is gently lifted, and another laser is applied to reshape the underlying corneal tissue to correct your vision. The corneal flap is carefully repositioned, where it adheres naturally without the need for stitches.
