No More Four Eyes

If you are sick of wearing glasses or fiddling with contacts, you should consider laser eye surgery. Laser surgery to correct your vision is a well tested procedure but is not for everyone so do not enter into it lightly. Done as outpatient surgery, most people are back to their normal routines in a couple of days and some report improved vision upon waking the next day! There are a couple of procedures avaialbe and each has different recovery and vision improvement times - you should discuss each option with your doctor to find out which is best for your needs. Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most well known. In this procedure, a flap is cut in the cornea and then tissue is removed to reshape it. This surgery is fast and has a quick healing time of 2 days with immediate improvement in sight. Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) is the oldest of the procedures. This surgery reshapes the cornea by removing cells from the surface. The healing time is quite long
