LASIK is a popular vision correction procedure that can treat a range of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. To determine if you qualify for LASIK, you must be at least 18, healthy, have good eye health, and have no diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma. Talk to your optometrist to learn more about LASIK and the different laser options available to you. Your TLC-affiliated doctor and surgeon will explain what results you can expect by measuring your prescription and examining your eyes.

Laser vision correction has proven successful in reducing dependency on glasses and contacts. Results vary based on individual healing and prescription severity, but most mild to moderate prescriptions achieve 20/20 vision or better. Custom LASIK addresses unique imperfections for less glare and halos. Your pre-procedure consultation is the perfect time to ask LASIK questions. TLC Surgeons have fine-tuned their techniques through two million procedures and offer a lifetime commitment program for qualified patients.

Custom LASIK uses the wavefront analyzer to measure light in your eyes and provide highly individualized treatment while avoiding imperfections. Patients prefer Custom LASIK due to higher customization, lower risk of glare and halos, and a better chance of 20/20 vision. Talk to your doctor to understand your options and choose the right procedure for you.

LASIK surgery is slightly uncomfortable but not painful, and most patients find the anxiety and fear of the unknown to be worse than the procedure itself. Anesthetic drops are used to numb the eye, and a mild sedative may be given to help relax patients. After surgery, patients may feel foreign body sensations or irritation but are usually comfortable after a short nap. Drops are given to counteract dryness.

The cost of LASIK varies depending on the technology used for your specific condition. Custom LASIK is more expensive due to its advanced technology and precision. The fee at TLC includes pre-and post-operative care, and financing options and insurance discounts may be available. Call (210)348-0265 for more LASIK pricing information.
