What is LASIK?
LASIK is a laser eye surgery used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted,
or have astigmatism.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for LASIK?
LASIK can treat a broad range of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
You must be a minimum of 18 years of age, have a stable prescription for at least one year, and
have good general and eye health. We recommend you come in for a free consultation with our LASIK
Coordinator who will confirm if you are a good candidate.
Are all patients who wear glasses and contacts candidates for LASIK?
Most patients who wear glasses are good candidates for LASIK. Patients with virtually every degree of nearsightedness,
farsightedness, and astigmatism are enjoying good outcomes with LASIK.
Is LASIK safe?
LASIK is an extremely safe procedure IF you are a good candidate. Our team of doctors have years of experience and have
excellent results. A very small number of individuals may need a re-treatment to achieve their best outcome.
Does insurance cover LASIK surgery?
Most insurance companies consider LASIK surgery an elective surgery and it is not usually a covered benefit. However, it is certainly
worth checking with your insurance company and we encourage you to call them.
