LASIK & Refractive Surgery Co-Management at The Contact Lens Centers
Considering LASIK or another type of refractive surgery? At The Contact Lens Centers, we offer comprehensive co-management services to guide you through the entire process—from determining if you’re a good candidate to providing post-operative care.
Our experienced doctors are here to ensure that your journey to clearer vision is smooth and successful, offering expert advice and support every step of the way.
What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting common vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By reshaping the cornea, LASIK allows light to focus properly on the retina, resulting in clearer, sharper vision.
Refractive Surgery Co-Management: How We Help
At The Contact Lens Centers, we work closely with top LASIK and refractive surgeons in the Dallas and Carrollton areas to provide comprehensive co-management services.
This ensures that you receive the highest standard of care before and after your surgery.
- Pre-Operative Evaluation: We’ll assess your vision and eye health to determine if LASIK or another refractive surgery is the right option for you. This includes comprehensive eye exams, corneal measurements, and discussing your lifestyle and vision goals.
- Post-Operative Care: After your surgery, we’ll continue to monitor your healing process to ensure your eyes are recovering properly. Follow-up visits are essential to check for any complications, fine-tune your vision results, and ensure long-term success.
Who is a Candidate for LASIK?
While LASIK is an excellent option for many people, it’s not right for everyone. Good candidates for LASIK generally include those who:
- Are over 18 years old
- Have a stable prescription for at least one year
- Have healthy eyes and corneas
- Are not pregnant or nursing
- Are free from certain eye conditions such as severe dry eye or keratoconus
If LASIK isn’t the right choice for you, don’t worry—there are other refractive surgery options that may be more suitable. Our doctors will help you explore alternatives like PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) or RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange).
Benefits of LASIK & Refractive Surgery
- Freedom from Glasses and Contacts: LASIK can significantly reduce your dependence on glasses and contact lenses, allowing you to enjoy daily activities with clearer vision.
- Quick Recovery: Most LASIK patients experience improved vision within 24 hours of the procedure and can resume normal activities shortly after.
- Long-Lasting Results: For many patients, the results of LASIK are permanent, providing years of clear vision without the need for corrective lenses.
