What Is LASIK?

LASIK is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. At BVA Advanced Eye Care, LASIK offers a safe and effective way to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is quick, typically painless, and provides lasting results with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking improved vision. For more information on LASIK or to find out if you're a candidate, contact one of our offices in and around Oklahoma City, OK.

How Is LASIK Performed?

LASIK is performed by using a specialized laser to reshape the cornea, improving how the eye focuses light and correcting vision. During the procedure, a small flap is created on the surface of the cornea, which is then gently lifted. The laser is applied to the underlying corneal tissue to precisely reshape it according to each individual's unique vision needs. Once the cornea is reshaped, the flap is repositioned, and it naturally adheres without the need for stitches. The entire process typically takes about 15 minutes per eye, and patients often experience improved vision within 24 hours.

What Are the Benefits of LASIK?

LASIK offers numerous advantages for individuals seeking to improve their vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, including:

  • Quick procedure with minimal downtime
  • Rapid vision improvement, often within 24 hours
  • Long-lasting results with minimal discomfort
  • No need for stitches or bandages
  • A safe and highly effective solution for common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism

Long-Term Clearer Vision

Advancements in LASIK technology are making it possible for more patients to benefit from laser vision correction. If you were previously told you weren't a candidate for LASIK, it may be time to schedule an appointment at BVA Advanced Eye Care to reassess your eligibility. For those who still may not be ideal candidates for LASIK, other refractive surgery options, like PRK, could be a great alternative. We're excited to help our Oklahoma City and surrounding area patients achieve their clearest vision possible.
