LASIK (laser-assisted-in-situ-keratomileusis), LASEK and PRK (photo refractive keratectomy) are now available to correct your vision with laser surgery, and are considered safe and permanent alternatives to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. The structure of your eyes, as well as your prescription, general health and job requirements will all be considered to help determine which procedure is best for you.

LASIK:

LASIK is a procedure that uses cool excimer laser energy to reshape the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye. The LASIK procedure addresses nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK has become the alternative of choice for over two million eyes every year.

The procedure is simple: Once the computer is tailored to your eye, you will be asked to look at a target light for a few seconds while the laser sends pulses of light to painlessly reshape your cornea. The actual LASIK surgery usually takes less than five minutes

LASIK may be preferred to other laser procedures such as PRK (also known as photorefractive keratectomy, Advanced Surface Ablation and LASEK) because visual recovery is fast. However, if you have thin corneas, large pupils, or a high prescription, or are prone to eye trauma, you may be a better candidate for a “no incision procedure” such as PRK, ASA or LASEK.

LASEK:

LASEK is a relatively new refractive procedure that combines the benefits of LASIK and PRK. LASEK is a surface ablation technique like PRK that may provide the patient with faster vision recovery.

PRK:

Since no incision is used with PRK, the top layer of the cornea is first gently removed, allowing the excimer laser to reshape the inner layers of the cornea. This allows the eye to focus the light better, providing clearer vision than before.

Take the first step towards clear vision:
If you are considering laser eye surgery, your first step is to choose a LASIK surgeon, such as Dr. Chebil, who can evaluate whether LASIK, PRK or LASEK are right for you.

During your initial evaluation, Dr. Chebil will perform a complete eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK,
what kind of vision correction you need, and how much laser ablation (corneal tissue removal) is required.

Since all corneas are unique, and have personalized irregularities like fingerprints, it is essential that you learn about this
customized treatment plan for your vision.

Financing options for laser eye surgery:
LASIK, PRK, ASA and LASEK are elective procedures that are not usually entirely covered by most insurance plans, however
we will work with your insurance providers to obtain any discounts and payments offered by your plan.

We also accept most credit cards and offer easy long-term and 0% financing.
