FAQs About LASIK

What is LASIK surgery?

LASIK is short for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It is a refractive eye surgery that corrects vision problems by reshaping the cornea using laser technology. LASIK is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Who is a good candidate for LASIK?

Ideal candidates are at least 18 years old, have stable vision for at least a year, and are free from certain eye conditions. Many patients start the process with a quick LASIK Self-Test to see if they’re a good candidate.

What is LASIK recovery like?

Many patients experience improved vision within a day or two, with many reporting better vision before they even leave the surgical center. Full recovery and final visual outcomes usually take a few weeks.

How long does the LASIK procedure take?

The actual LASIK surgery usually takes about 10-15 minutes per eye, with just a few seconds of laser time per eye.

How much does LASIK cost?

The cost of LASIK can vary based on the kinds of customizations a patient requires. An online LASIK cost estimator can provide a ballpark figure, but you’ll want to discuss your procedure with your provider for more accurate pricing and LASIK financing options.
