How It Works

LASIK & PRK, tailored to your eyes

A precise excimer laser gently reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

LASIK

A thin corneal flap is created and the laser reshapes the tissue beneath. Recovery is rapid. Many patients see clearly within a day and return to normal activities quickly.

PRK

No flap is created; the laser reshapes the surface of the cornea. PRK is an excellent choice for thinner corneas, dry eyes, or active lifestyles, with a slightly longer healing period.

Not an ideal laser candidate?

Options like refractive lens exchange (RLE) and the implantable collamer lens (ICL) can correct higher prescriptions. Dr. Eslani will help you choose.

FAQ

LASIK & PRK questions

Am I a candidate for LASIK?
Most adults with a stable prescription and healthy corneas are candidates. A thorough evaluation confirms whether LASIK, PRK, or a lens-based option is best for you.
Does LASIK hurt?
No. Numbing drops keep you comfortable; most patients feel only mild pressure, and vision is often dramatically clearer within a day.
What's the difference between LASIK and PRK?
Both reshape the cornea with a laser. LASIK has a faster recovery; PRK avoids creating a flap, making it ideal for thinner corneas or active lifestyles.
How long does the procedure take?
The laser treatment takes only minutes per eye. You're in and out the same day and rest afterward.
Is LASIK permanent?
The corneal reshaping is permanent. Your eyes can still change with age, which other procedures can address later.
