About LASIK (Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis)

 

LASIK is the most frequently performed elective surgery in North America. This highly effective outpatient procedure is often referred to as refractive surgery or laser vision correction.

 

 

LASIK eye surgery is used to correct the following vision problems:

 

How LASIK Works

The LASIK procedure is performed by ophthalmologists, medical doctors who specialize in surgical treatments of the eye.

Here is a general outline of the procedure:

After the LASIK eye surgery procedure, patients feel moderate discomfort and irritation for a few hours, but most are comfortable after a nap and rest.

 

What is CONTOURA Vision?

CONTOURA Vision is the latest FDA approved LASIK technology available in the U.S for laser vision correction. CONTOURA Vision improves upon the traditional Wavelight LASIK procedure by using today’s most advanced mapping technology to map the unique contours of the surface of your cornea. The scanning procedure samples up to 22,000 elevation points on each eye to create a unique vision profile for you, and only you.

 

Other Types of LASIK

Everyone’s eyes are different. A pre-procedure consultation with your doctor will help determine the right type of laser eye surgery for you.

 

How much does LASIK cost?

Postoperative Management and Fees Final results from LASIK depend not only on the qualifications of the surgeon and the technology he or she uses to perform the procedure but also on the patient following all pre- and post-op instruction and steps. This includes the postoperative management instruction that patients receive from the surgeon and technical staff during the weeks and months following the procedure. Because fees for LASIK vary greatly from center to center, it is important to discuss postoperative costs with the surgeon performing your procedure. We offer upgrades to Contoura and Intralase technology for additional costs. We will quote you the cost after a Consultation with Dr. Zeldes. We are very competitive without sacrificing results.
