Hattiesburg LASIK Testimonial

 

 

Laser Assisted Stromal In-Situ Keratomileusis, or LASIK, is a technique for reshaping the surface of the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It combines the use of a corneal flap (called Lamellar Keratoplasty, or LK) with the precision of the Excimer Laser.

 

An Excimer Laser operates by passing an electric current through a tube of Argon Flouride gas. This causes a reaction in the gas which produces an ultraviolet light energy, which is passed through a system of mirrors, directing all the rays to travel in one direction (called coherent light). Then, the directed light is focused through several lenses, increasing its strength. All the rays converge at a focal point, where the beam is strongest. It is this focus of light energy which is used to reshape the cornea. The laser's light beam loses strength rapidly just past its focal point, so other eye tissues are not affected.

Realistic Expectations:

The decision to have Lasik/Wavefront is an important one that only you can make. The goal of any refractive procedure is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. However, this result is not guaranteed. Lasik/Wavefront is not a preventative procedure. You will continue to experience the normal aging factors that occur in life.

 

Serious complications with Lasik/Wavefront candidates are extremely rare. Lasik/Wavefront is a safe and effective procedure, but like any medical procedure, it does have some risks. After a series of tests and a thorough eye examination, you and your doctor will determine if Lasik/Wavefront is an option for you. If you are good candidate, you will be given additional information about the procedure that will allow you to make an informed decision about whether to proceed. Be sure you have all your questions answered to your satisfaction.
