LASIK

At iSight Care, Dr. Mona Sane specializes in advanced vision correction procedures, including LASIK, to help patients experience greater freedom and confidence in their everyday lives. Whether you’re looking to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, LASIK offers a safe, effective, and long lasting solution tailored to your unique eyes.

Why Consider Laser Eye Surgery?

If you’re tired of the hassle of glasses, dealing with dry eyes from contact lenses, or struggling with vision during sports and outdoor activities, laser eye surgery could be the right solution for you. LASIK and other laser procedures can correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, providing long-term vision improvement.

What Is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most popular forms of laser vision correction. At iSight Care, we offer all-laser LASIK, which uses two different types of lasers for precision and comfort.

• Creating the Flap: The first laser creates a thin flap in the top portion of your cornea.

• Reshaping the Cornea: After gently lifting this flap, a second laser is used to ablate, or vaporize microscopic amounts of corneal tissue to reshape the surface. This reshaping corrects the way light focuses on your retina, improving your vision.

• Flap Replacement: The flap is carefully repositioned, where it naturally seals without stitches.
  
  

The procedure is quick, often taking less than 15 minutes for both eyes, and most patients notice improved vision within a day or two.

Recovery & Results

One of the advantages of LASIK is its relatively quick recovery time. Most patients notice clearer vision in 24 hours, and many are able to return to work or normal activities the very next day.

Dr. Sane will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including the use of medicated eye drops to aid healing and prevent infection. It’s important to attend all follow-up appointments to ensure your eyes are healing as expected.

LASIK is designed to deliver long-lasting vision correction, with many patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. While results can vary depending on your prescription and eye health, most people enjoy a dramatic improvement in their vision immediately after surgery. These results are generally stable, though natural age-related changes to the eye (such as presbyopia or cataracts) may still occur in the future.
