LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK eye surgery is offered at Revere Health, which is a safe and effective procedure that corrects refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. By reshaping the cornea with advanced laser technology, LASIK reduces or eliminates the need for glasses and contact lenses, enhancing overall vision clarity.
How LASIK Works
LASIK involves using a specialized laser to modify the cornea’s curvature, allowing light to focus accurately on the retina. This correction leads to improved vision for many patients.
Candidate Requirements
To qualify for LASIK, candidates should be at least 18 years old, have a stable vision prescription for at least a year, and possess healthy corneas. Conditions like severe dry eye, advanced glaucoma, or pregnancy may disqualify some individuals.
The Procedure
The LASIK procedure is quick, usually taking 15-30 minutes per eye. After applying numbing drops, the surgeon creates a flap in the cornea and reshapes the underlying tissue with a laser. Recovery is typically swift, with many resuming normal activities within a day.
Expected Results
Most patients experience significant vision improvement, with over 80% no longer needing glasses or contacts for daily activities. Individual results may vary, and some may require follow-up procedures.
Conclusion
Revere Health’s LASIK service provides an excellent opportunity to enhance vision and reduce reliance on corrective lenses. Consult our specialists to see if LASIK is right for you.
