Lasik Corrective Surgery
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you know what a hassle it is to deal with them. Your glasses constantly slip or fog up, they get misplaced, they get broken or cracked, they get sat on...And what about contact lenses? Daily cleanings, having them tear or accidentally get washed down the sink, bringing along extra pairs and bottles of solution when you go on vacation, having a speck of dirt feel like a hot poker...
Experience the Freedom
Now imagine waking up and actually being able to see the alarm clock... playing sports... going swimming, without having to depend on glasses or contacts!
Columbia Eye Clinic can help make this vision a reality with LASIK vision correction. With LASIK, our experienced, certified surgeons can change the shape of your cornea in order to allow light rays to focus more correctly on your retina. Images therefore come in more clearly, whether you're nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.Columbia Eye Clinic is the only ophthalmology practice in the area with an advanced VISX® laser on-site. The VISX® Corp. was a pioneer in the area of laser vision correction. All of our surgeons have undergone strict VISX® certification and participate in countless hours of ongoing medical education in order to bring this advanced technology to you.
Because the hair-thin beam allows for precise direction and is non-thermal, our surgeons can correct your vision safely, with little to no pain or scarring, and all in just a few minutes! (Although you will be in our surgical suite for at least a half an hour.) You'll notice the results the next day, with complete visual acuity in as little as one to four weeks.
LASIK can often correct vision to 20/40, even to 20/20! You'll enjoy visual freedom and/or reduced dependence on glasses and contacts. However, results do vary, and there are certain medical conditions that may conflict with your ability to have LASIK. The procedure will not be able to reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses that occurs with the natural aging of the eye. The best way to find out more, and to see if you're a qualified candidate, is to call Columbia Eye Clinic today for your free consultation.
