LASIK has become an
increasingly
popular
alternative
to glasses and contact lenses. It involves the creation of a thin flap in the cornea. The flap is lifted, an excimer laser corrects the vision, and the flap is then replaced for fast healing and recovery of vision.
We offer the latest technology that now allows the flap to be cut with a laser rather than a blade. This 'Blade-free' LASIK procedure increases safety and improves outcomes. Our practice at the Wildwood Surgical Center is the only one in the area that is able to perform this innovative procedure.
It is important to remember that LASIK is a surgical procedure and although the risks are low, that the procedure is not for everyone. In addition to the degree of eyeglass prescription, numerous other factors such as corneal curvature and corneal thickness are important to determine if one is a candidate for the procedure.
At Vision Associates, you will have one of the most thorough eye examinatons of your life as part of the LASIK evaluation. In addition to his extensive experience with refractive surgery, Dr. Farjo has experience with all aspects of corneal surgery. You will be tested and treated with state-of-the-art equipment.
Together, we will be able to determine which whether the procedure is right for you, or if it is better to choose other alternatives.
