Restore Your Vision With Custom LASIK

Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is an eye surgery that permanently alters the shape of the cornea. It is the most popular refractive procedure used to correct vision problems, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (blurred or distorted vision). According to the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), approximately 600,000 to 800,000 patients undergo the LASIK procedure annually.


When performing a LASIK procedure, the laser eye surgeon makes a tiny flap in the patient’s cornea and then corrects the shape of the cornea using the laser. They do this with the aim of rectifying the problem in the eye that causes focus difficulties by permitting light to suitably focus on the retina. This procedure is considered a highly effective and safe procedure, and it takes 10-15 minutes to perform for each eye. Patients only take a few days to completely recover after the procedure.

What is Custom LASIK Surgery like?

Custom LASIK surgery is quick and completely painless. In fact, the entire procedure takes just 10-15 minutes per eye from start to finish. During a Custom LASIK surgery procedure, your LASIK surgeon will:

 

  1. Apply anesthetic drops to numb your eye
  2. Create a thin round shaped flap in your cornea
  3. Carefully lift the flap to expose your cornea’s inner tissue
  4. Re-shape your cornea with a pulsing cool laser beam (This laser beam will sculpt your cornea to match the shape of your contact lens or eyeglass prescription.)
  5. Return the corneal flap to its original position, which starts the natural healing process


And that’s it! If you are like the majority of our patients, you’ll see better immediately.

Is Custom LASIK right for me?

Custom LASIK surgery can correct almost any vision condition, so you’re likely a candidate. But only an eye doctor (after a formal screening) can determine if you’re a good candidate. Make an appointment at Urban Optiks Optometry today for a comprehensive evaluation and consultation with one of our optometrists.

How much does Custom LASIK cost?

Once you have been qualified as a Custom LASIK surgery candidate, our doctors will refer you to one of our laser surgery center partners for a consultation with a LASIK surgeon. During the consult, you will receive a detailed, no-obligation estimate of your Custom LASIK surgery which includes all of your pre- and post-operative care administered by Urban Optiks Optometry.


Custom LASIK surgery costs will vary based on your prescription and medical condition, the procedure costs also depend on the type of laser technology that the LASIK surgeon will recommend for you. Your Custom LASIK surgery cost includes the procedure at the laser surgical center, as well as six pre & post-op visits at Urban Optiks Optometry.
