LASIK in Haslet, TX

We can help you decide if surgery is right for you and co-manage your care.

What is LASIK?

LASIK is a vision correction surgery that reshapes your cornea to bring your eyesight into the 20/20 range. The procedure involves making a flap in your cornea to allow the laser access to the inner tissues. After the laser corrects the shape of your cornea, the flap is set back in place to heal naturally. Within a few days, you’ll notice dramatic improvements in your eyesight, letting you see clearly without the need for corrective lenses.

What to Expect Before, During, and After LASIK

If you’d like to get LASIK eye surgery to correct your vision, you just have to schedule a visit with one of our eye doctors in Haslet TX. Your optometrist will perform an eye exam and a series of additional tests to confirm you’re a good candidate for the procedure. You can then decide if you’d like to move forward with the procedure and schedule your appointment for the surgery.

Procedure

The LASIK procedure typically takes about 15 minutes total, but you can expect to be at our clinic for up to two hours on your surgery day. At the beginning of your appointment, your eye doctor will apply a gentle antiseptic solution and numbing drops to your eye.

You’ll then lie back in the cushioned surgical bed and our team will place a speculum on your eyelids to hold them open. Then, you just need to relax and stare at the red light for about one minute per eye while your eye doctor uses the laser equipment to correct your vision.

Aftercare

At the end of your visit, your eye doctor will provide eye drops designed to ease any discomfort you may feel and prevent infection. Over-the-counter medication and ice packs can help relieve your discomfort as well. You’ll want to wear sunglasses on your way home and stay in a dimly lit room for the evening. After that, you can resume your normal activities as you feel comfortable doing so.

Follow Up

You’ll need to come in for a follow up visit a few days after your LASIK procedure. During that visit, your eye doctor in Haslet TX will check your vision and assess your healing progress. You can then report back as needed for follow-up care plus get regular eye exams to confirm you have excellent vision and eye health.

Although LASIK permanently changes the shape of your cornea, your vision may still change due to aging. If that happens, your eye doctor in Haslet TX can make adjustments to your cornea shape to restore your clear vision.
