What you need to consider about Lasik Surgery before you decide who will perform it in Columbus, Ohio

Almost everyone who wears glasses or contacts has heard of LASIK surgery. They may even know people who have undergone the procedure. Still, they feel reluctant to explore this option. Perhaps the idea of eye surgery makes them apprehensive or maybe they think they aren’t a good candidate.

The reality is that most people who need vision correction are good candidates for LASIK eye surgery. Statistics suggest that approximately 80 percent of adults make ideal patients for this type of vision correction. The best candidates are over the age of 18 and enjoy good health. Most people seek this surgery because they’d rather not have to wear glasses or contacts. The good news is that if they are troubled by being nearsighted or farsighted, these problems can probably be corrected by LASIK. Even patients with an astigmatism can have this problem fixed with LASIK.

Surgeons have been using LASIK since the 1990s to treat eyesight problems. Millions of people have safely and successfully undergone the procedure since then. This state-of-the-art procedure involves the use of an excimer laser. The laser is used to reshape the cornea, thereby correcting vision problems.

The procedure itself is remarkably quick. Most patients are in the procedure room for about 15 minutes. In most cases, their eyes are numbed with special, medicated drops, and most doctors also offer a light sedative to ensure a relaxing experience. There is little down time associated with LASIK eye surgery. Most people return to their normal routine the very next day with one very big difference: They no longer need to use corrective lenses.

Patients experience immediate improvement in the quality of their vision. Some even find that their vision continues to become sharper and clearer up to a year after the procedure. Minimal discomfort is associated with LASIK surgery. Considering the often life-changing results it’s almost always worthwhile to get evaluated for LASIK.

Our surgeons invite prospective patients to an initial consultation lasting between one and one-and-a-half hours. During the consultation, Our Doctor examines the patient’s eyes to determine whether or not they are a good candidate for the procedure.
