Over the past several years the LASIK procedure has taken the vision care profession by storm. Millions of patients have elected to undergo this procedure. LASIK offers several advantages over glasses or contacts because it corrects the problem as opposed to treating the symptoms.
LASIK, or Laser in situ Keratomileusis (use of a laser to reshape the cornea from within), uses the technologically advanced Excimer Laser. The miracle of the technology is that it literally reshapes the cornea by removing mere microns of tissue, far less than the thickness of a strand of your hair.
Recently, new technological advances have made LASIK safer and more precise than ever before. This means less post-operative discomfort and much faster recovery times.
With most people, vision improvement is noticed immediately.
Our eye specialists and staff at the Atlanta Vision Clinic will be glad to answer any and all questions you may have during your consultation.
