Understanding Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery corrects refractive errors by reshaping the cornea, addressing issues like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. A thorough eye assessment is the initial step to assess your candidacy, followed by a detailed explanation of the entire process. Our team will help you understand the process and is here for pre and post-surgery appointments.
Types of Laser Eye Surgery Consultations We Offer
Woodstock Vision Care provides insights into different laser eye surgery options, including the following.
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a widely performed procedure. It involves creating a corneal flap, reshaping the cornea, and carefully repositioning the flap for optimal healing. Our team offers comprehensive post-surgery care, including follow-up appointments.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) can be effective for various refractive errors. It involves removing the corneal epithelium before laser reshaping, with the epithelium naturally repairing itself over time. PRK may be preferred for patients with thin corneas, offering advantages in specific cases.
Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) combines elements of both LASIK and PRK. It involves creating a thin flap of corneal epithelium, which is then treated with a laser for reshaping. This method is suitable for patients with thinner corneas or those who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Our optometrists conduct tests during your laser eye surgery consultation, considering factors such as corneal thickness, pupil size, and prescription.
