LASIK Surgery Basics

LASIK is one of the most common procedures used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Approximately 90% of patients achieve 20/20 to 20/40 vision through LASIK surgery. LASIK is the most commonly performed surgery for refractive errors, proving a safe and effective treatment.

Before your surgery, your ophthalmologist will numb the eyes with drops, ensuring a comfortable process. Once the eyes are numbed, the surgeon will make a thin flap in your corneal tissue. The flap is then lifted and folded back. Your cornea is then re-shaped using a pre-programmed laser. When the procedure is complete, your surgeon will fold the flap back into position. The flap heals on its own over time.

The Healing Process

After a LASIK procedure, you may experience a temporary decrease in tear production. Your optometrist may recommend special eye drops to ease discomfort, as your eyes may feel extremely dry.

You may experience issues with your night vision, sensitivity to light, glare, and see halos around bright objects after surgery. The healing process can take up to 3 months, but eventually, your vision will be clear.

The Total Vision El Cajon team will remain at your side to help co-manage the healing process and arrange routine post-surgery care appointments to monitor your progress.
