LASIK Surgery Philadelphia

LASIK, which stands for “Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis,” is a popular surgical procedure used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. In this procedure, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, in order to improve the way light is focused on the retina at the back of the eye.

  • Anesthetic Drops: The patient’s eye undergoes a painless numbing process with specialized anesthetic drops, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Flap Creation and Lifting: Using an advanced femtosecond laser, a small flap is precisely created on the cornea’s surface, exposing the corneal tissue for the procedure.
  • Corneal Reshaping: Using cutting-edge Excimer laser technology, Dr. Corsini skillfully reshapes the corneal tissue, removing tiny amounts of tissue in a precise pattern to correct the patient’s vision.
  • Flap Repositioning: Following the successful corneal reshaping, the flap is delicately repositioned where it adheres naturally without the need for stitches for a secure and comfortable closure.

LASIK eye surgery is safe and effective, with a high success rate and minimal side effects. It is a quick procedure that typically takes only about 10 minutes per eye, and most patients can return to work and resume normal activities within a day or two.

LASIK Eye Surgery Eligibility

LASIK surgery is most suitable for adults who have stable vision and are in good overall health. Patients with certain eye conditions or diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, or severe dry eye, may not be eligible for LASIK.

Before undergoing the procedure, patients should undergo a thorough eye exam to determine if LASIK is the best option for them. If LASIK is not a good fit, other surgical or non-surgical options may be recommended.
