Navigating the LASIK Journey
The stages of your LASIK journey involve the following:
The Initial Consultation
Your LASIK journey begins with an initial consultation at Shady Grove Eye and Vision Care. During this eye exam, one of our skilled optometrists will assess your eye health and determine whether LASIK is right for you. They will also discuss your visual goals, explain the LASIK procedure in detail, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Selecting Your LASIK Surgeon
Once you decide to proceed with LASIK, you need to choose a highly skilled LASIK surgeon. We have cultivated strong partnerships with some of the most reputable LASIK surgeons in Rockville with extensive experience, good reputations, and solid track records. We will help you select an opthalmologist from our network that aligns best with your needs, preferences, and goals.
Pre-operative Assessment
Before your surgery, we will conduct a comprehensive pre-op LASIK assessment involving detailed measurements of the structures of the eyes, such as the thickness and curvature of your cornea, and your updated prescription. These measurements are critical for customizing your LASIK procedure to achieve the best possible results.
The LASIK Procedure
The LASIK procedure is quick, painless, and highly effective. Your eye surgeon will use a laser to reshape your cornea, correcting refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It typically takes only a few minutes per eye. Most patients experience immediate improvements in their vision and minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
LASIK Recovery & Post-operative Care
Following LASIK surgery, you'll enjoy a remarkable improvement in your vision. However, follow your post-operative care plan, which may include using prescribed eye drops and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Some people may experience temporarily blurry vision after LASIK. In this case, our eye doctors will give you temporary eyewear or specialty contact lenses to help you see clearly.
