LASIK is a safe and popular alternative to glasses and contact lenses. It improves vision by changing the shape of the cornea, the clear front of your eye.
At Eye Specialists & Surgeons of Northern Virginia, we offer CONTURA Vision topography-guided LASIK, an advanced form of the procedure that uses state-of-the-art corneal mapping technology to give you more precise, personalized results.
Your LASIK surgeon will begin by administering anesthetic drops to ensure your eyes are numbed. You’ll lie down under the laser system and focus on a small blinking light while a laser precisely reshapes your cornea.
The entire procedure typically lasts about 15 minutes. Most patients report little or no discomfort throughout the surgery.
While experiences vary, many people are able to return to work the very next day. Others might experience a few minor side effects, such as watery or red eyes for a few days.
