Lasik eye surgery’s precise and effective procedure has continually increased in accuracy since its introduction in the U.S. early in the 1990s. You can feel 100% confident at Sawgrass Lasik, because our well-trained, experienced surgeons use the latest, most reliable light pulse laser to specifically reshape the cornea of your eye. The result you get is a greater ability for your eye to focus light onto the retina, with the effect of much better vision. No matter whether you suffer from astigmatism, shortsightedness, or farsightedness, you can feel confident that the result you’ll get from this brief procedure will make a big change in your vision. Many patients describe it as almost being reborn. The doctor will execute a reliable surgical plan, aligned with your specific eye prescription. It’s a painless procedure, and you will be awake throughout. Many patients wonder what the actual effect will be. When we talk with people who’ve just had the surgery, they are usually most surprised that they see an improvement so quickly. Often, a patient is struck – and relieved – by the fact that they no longer need glasses or contacts at all. Some say it’s like being a kid again … a fountain of youth for their eyes. They often comment that they’ll never again need to try to think back to remember where they left their glasses. Lasik is not for everyone. At Sawgrass Lasik, our surgeons and staff never the future eyesight of any patient. Since the healing process is so important, we don’t accpt anyone who has any immune system problems, such as glaucoma, cataracts, chronic dry eyes, or conjunctivitis. Any such conditions must be successfully treated before a patient may receive Lasik. We also check your prescription to be certain it falls inside our risk-free limits. (We need to be certain that you don’t need excessive corneal tissue trimming … too risky.) You’ll have the chance to rest and relax in our office following the procedure, to be certain you have adjusted to your new vision. Then you’ll need someone to drive you home. We strongly encourage patients to spend the next day or two at home, putting no kind of stress on your eyes. Naturally, you are best to not perform any kind of strenuous activity for the next several days, giving your eyes the chance to heal. Call our office at 1-888-93-LASIK. We’ll be able to tell from your eye prescription if you are a good Lasik candidate. And if so, you can then set up an office appointment to receive a total vision evaluation and get our expert’s recommendation.
