Considering eye surgery can be scary and daunting. That’s why Chapel Hill Ophthalmology in Chapel Hill, NC, is here to help you. In addition to routine eye care services and optical services, we offer eye surgery. One form of eye surgery is LASIK. If you are considering LASIK to improve your vision, our ophthalmologist can determine if you are a candidate and if the surgery is right for you and your lifestyle.
What Is LASIK?
LASIK is a commonly performed laser procedure that is used to correct many vision issues. LASIK surgery uses a small laser to reshape the cornea. The way the surgery is done depends on your vision problem.
Many diabetics are given laser surgery to help correct many different eye issues, like bleeding capillaries in the back of the eye due to diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration. LASIK is also used to safely remove cataracts and to improve other vision abnormalities, including hyperopia, myopia, or astigmatism. The procedure can greatly improve your vision.
Why Choose LASIK?
Our eye doctors will carefully explain the procedure and the benefits of having LASIK. This widely used procedure has a short period of downtime. Patients are typically back to their normal activities the very next day. We will gladly discuss the probability of LASIK to correct any vision problem you may have. It is a highly recommended choice for people of all ages. It is a great option for those who don’t want to wear eyeglasses or contacts. We will provide any information you need about the surgery.
