Are you tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses? Have you wondered whether LASIK surgery is right for you? LASIK surgery is the best known and most commonly performed laser refractive surgery.

During LASIK surgery, a special type of cutting laser is used to precisely change the shape of the cornea, or the dome-shaped clear tissue at the front of your eye, to improve vision.

Now to answer some commonly asked questions:

Is 20/20 vision guaranteed after LASIK?
LASIK procedures are highly accurate, but there are variables that prevent a guarantee of 20/20 vision, one being your individual healing. The human cornea is living tissue, and if your healing response is a little more or a little less than expected, there is a slight chance you’ll need a touch-up procedure, called an enhancement.

Is LASIK safe?
LASIK is extremely safe. There is an enormous amount of data that proves so. Our team at EYE-Q has a thorough pre-operative evaluation protocol, a rigorous surgical planning process, and multiple levels of safety built-in during the laser procedure itself.

How long does LASIK last?
LASIK permanently reshapes the tissue in the front of your eye, and these changes last your whole life. However, most people’s vision gets worse over time as part of the natural aging process. LASIK can’t stop this, so your vision may become blurry again as you get older. When these changes occur will depend on how old you are, when you have LASIK, and if you have any other progressive eye conditions. We encourage people considering LASIK to do it early, so you get the maximum benefit.
