Your vision correction FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most in Buffalo.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a revolutionary vision correction procedure that can free you from the hassles of glasses or contacts. During this bladeless laser eye surgery, an excimer laser gently reshapes the cornea with computer-precision to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Say goodbye to visual aids and hello to crystal-clear natural vision!
The first step in your LASIK journey is an in-depth screening and evaluation by our experienced eye surgeons. During this comprehensive exam, we’ll assess your specific vision needs and eye health criteria.
Generally, good LASIK candidates meet the following requirements:
- Age 18 or older (with a stable vision prescription for at least 1-2 years)
- No existing eye diseases or conditions like keratoconus or glaucoma
- Sufficient corneal thickness
- Reasonable refractive error limits for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
However, exceptions can sometimes be made depending on individual circumstances. Our laser eye surgery experts will take the time to understand your unique vision goals and medical profile. We’ll then advise if you’re an ideal LASIK candidate or if another vision correction treatment may be better suited for outstanding results.
Don’t settle for blurred vision a day longer! Schedule your LASIK consultation now to discover if you’re a candidate for crystal-clear visual freedom.
The thought of laser eye surgery may seem daunting, but rest assured, LASIK is a painless and comfortable experience. Numbing eye drops are applied to completely anesthetize your eyes before the procedure begins. You may feel a mild pressure sensation around your eye during the laser corneal reshaping, but no pain. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how smooth and painless their LASIK journey is.
To ensure maximum comfort, your surgeon may also prescribe a mild oral sedative to help you stay relaxed throughout the quick 10-15 minute LASIK procedure.
After your life-changing LASIK procedure, you can expect some minor irritation or a gritty sensation in your eyes for a few hours as the numbing drops wear off. This mild discomfort is temporary and can be easily managed with over-the-counter eye drops or oral medication prescribed by your surgeon.
Most patients find that a short nap after their laser vision correction allows their eyes to rest and reset. When you awake, you’ll be amazed at your newfound visual clarity! Your surgeon will also provide medicated eye drops to aid in healing and prevent infection during your swift recovery period.
While LASIK is typically considered elective, some insurance plans offer:
Reduced Rates: Many insurers negotiate special rates for members. Call your provider to see if they have discounts for LASIK surgery.
Coverage Exceptions: For specific professions like athletes or military personnel, perfect vision might be job-related, making LASIK a covered expense. Explore your plan details or contact your insurer directly for clarification.
Maximize Your Savings: Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are excellent options for covering LASIK costs.
Provider Discounts: Many LASIK clinics offer special pricing for AAA members, veterans, or by profession. Ask your chosen provider about available discounts.
Yes, you can have LASIK if you have astigmatism. In fact, our experienced LASIK surgeons routinely correct astigmatism, thanks to significant advancements in technology over the past decade. Many people with astigmatism are now excellent candidates for LASIK.
With the latest FDA-approved technology and our surgeons’ extensive expertise in vision correction surgery, we consistently achieve excellent results for patients with astigmatism. If you’ve been told by your regular eye doctor that LASIK isn’t an option for you, don’t be discouraged. Only a qualified LASIK surgeon can provide an accurate evaluation to determine if LASIK can correct your astigmatism, as well as any nearsightedness or farsightedness you may have.
