If you are tired of having to reach for your glasses to see the first thing when you get up in the morning, you may be thinking about getting LASIK surgery. At IC Laser Eye Care, patients are able to get LASIK in Hamilton NJ so that they can see clearly without needing contact lenses or reading glasses; our Director and chief surgeon is Dr. Iftikhar Chaudhry.
LASIK in Hamilton NJ will correct your eyes’ refractive errors. It has become the most commonly performed vision correction procedure in the world. This surgery will actually permanently change the shape of your cornea. Before you receive LASIK surgery, our ophthalmologist will want to make sure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. This is because if you are not a good candidate for the procedure your vision can actually be made worse by the surgery, or not received the results you want to achieve. However, when you are a good candidate for LASIK, the success rate is extremely high. In order to be a good candidate for the procedure you will need to have a thorough eye exam to make sure that your eyes are healthy enough, and that your cornea is thick enough for the procedure. This is because the surgery is performed through a tiny incision that is made in the cornea. It is also important that you have not had a vision prescription change in over the past year or so. Candidates for LASIK surgery should also be over 18 years of age. Patients are able to receive LASIK surgery on an outpatient basis; only topical anesthesia is used for the surgery, and is administered as eye drops. The surgery is performed through a tiny flap that is made in the cornea with the use of a laser; afterwards, the cornea will heal without any need for stitches or bandages. Most patients are able to return to their everyday activities the very next day.
