WHAT is LASIK?
Imagine being able to work, drive, read the clock,
play sports, ride horseback-do just about everything-without
always having to reach for your glasses or contacts.
A procedure called LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis)
could make this a reality for you. If you're a candidate
for LASIK, your eye doctor can reshape the surface
of your eye using a laser, so that images focus more
clearly. The result can be a dramatic improvement in
your vision-and your lifestyle.
Could LASIK Change Your Life?
Needing glasses or contacts to see may cramp your
lifestyle. Glasses fog up, fall off, scratch, and break.
Frames and thick lenses interfere with side vision.
Contacts can irritate your eyes, especially if dust
gets under a lens or you have dry eyes or allergies.
Both glasses and contacts can limit your choice of
careers or sports. LASIK may be an option that could
reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contacts.
