LASIK corrects your vision by reshaping the cornea (outer window of the eye) so that light rays are focused more precisely on the retina, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses and contact lenses. Typically you are back to normal activities; such as driving a car and going to work the very next day.

Complete LASIK Vision Correction Description

LASIK is the acronym for Laser in-situ Keratomileusis, meaning, "to shape the cornea within using a laser." In LASIK, Dr. Siepser creates a very thin cap of your cornea, then uses the laser in the bed of your cornea to gently reshape your eye, and then replaces the cap, which acts as a living contact lens.

LASIK eye surgery is very quick and painless. It takes about 15 minutes to complete both eyes and you will be awake during the procedure. If you would like we can give you some mild sedation to ensure you are comfortable during your laser surgery procedure.

1. Your laser surgeon will numb your eye with eye drops, an eyelid holder will hold your eye so you will not have the sensation of wanting to blink nor can you blink.

2. The LASIK surgeon will place a small suction ring on your cornea to stabilize your eye while he or she uses the microkeratome to create the corneal cap.

3. The microkeratome will go across your cornea, creating a protective cap that the laser surgeon will fold back, exposing the bed of your cornea for the laser treatment.

4. Your LASIK surgeon will ask you to look at a red blinking ‘fixation light’ while the Excimer laser reshapes the corneal tissue. You will hear a clicking sound as the laser vaporizes microscopic layers of your cornea. This process is very quick and you won't feel a thing.

5. The LASIK surgeon will then place the corneal cap back in its original position and it will be allowed to dry for a few minutes.
