What laser do you use?
We use the VISX Excimer Laser System. VISX was the first system to develop the treatment and the first laser to be approved by the FDA. We have found that the VISX laser is the most precise and safest system while still providing a wide array of treatments for a wider array of patients. From 1995-present, 9 out of 10 doctors choose to use the VISX Excimer Laser System over any other laser system.
Are there any risks?
It is important to understand the risks associated with laser vision correction before surgery. Although only a very small percentage of laser correction patients experience complications or side effects, the laser procedure, as with any surgical procedure, has limitations and risks. The risk of having a serious vision-threatening complication is less than 0.1%.
How long does the surgery take?
Most patients prefer to have both eyes done at the same time. This normally takes 15 minutes for the whole procedure. The time that the laser is on your eye depends upon your prescription, but, generally is anywhere from 10-60 seconds.
How well will I see after laser vision correction?
Results vary with each individual. In most cases, your vision should be improved immediately after the surgery. Some patients may experience fluctuating vision during the first couple of weeks to a couple of months.
How soon can I return to work?
We perform the surgery on Friday and see you for your first post-op visit on Saturday morning. Most patients return to work on Monday.
