	Does it hurts?

	There is usually no pain or discomfort with LASIK or laser vision correction surgery. The eye is anesthetized with numbing drops at the start of the procedure. Pressure can be felt, but it is not uncomfortable. For the first 12 to 24 hours, the eye can feel scratchy.

	What is your lifetime guarantee?

	We will provide future enhancement surgery during the first year, if necessary, at no additional charge to our patients. This is subject to certain exclusions and conditions. To be eligible, the patient is required to have yearly follow-up examinations with affiliated eye doctors.

	What are my chances of not having to wear glasses or contacts?

	This depends on how severe or bad your prescription or correction is. About 70 percent to 80 percent will see close to 20/20 or better, and nearly 99 percent will be 20/40 (good enough to pass a driving test) or better. However, there are no guarantees, and the surgery is really designed to improve and reduce your current refractive error and not necessarily make your vision perfect. You may still need to wear glasses and, as you get older, you will most likely require reading glasses to see up close (like everyone else who is not nearsighted!).


	What are the results of LASIK surgery?

	Results may vary from surgeon to surgeon and from center to center. Results also vary depending on your initial refractive error. With higher amounts of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, results are less predictable and retreatments are more common. It is important to ask your surgeon about his or her experience and results.

	I have dry eyes. Will this affect my LASIK surgery?

	It is important that your dry eyes be treated. This usually involves the use of tear supplements and punctum plugs (tiny silicone plugs placed in the tear drainage openings of your eyelid) that delay the drainage of your own tears so your eyes will stay moist. After the procedure, your operated eye may feel temporarily drier because the corneal nerves are severed during LASIK surgery, causing the eye to make fewer tears. This condition is temporary and typically lasts three to six months.

	What is monovision?
	For patients in their mid-forties who are already experiencing difficulty with reading in their distance correction, it is possible to treat one eye for near vision and the other for distance vision, thus decreasing the necessity for both near and distance glasses. If you are considering this blended vision (monovision), it is advisable to try it out with contact lenses before proceeding directly to LASIK surgery. If you have already been successful with monovision in contact lenses, you will most likely enjoy this type of correction following LASIK. If you are over 40 and hope to avoid glasses altogether in your life, this is presently the only way to accomplish this.

Who is a good candidate for LASIK vision correction?

Generally speaking, to be a good candidate for LASIK you should:

	be at least 18 years or older
	have a stable prescription for at least one year prior
	to your procedure
	be free of any diseases of the cornea and retina
	be in good health
	have reasonable and realistic expectations

Who is not a good candidate for LASIK?

	Anyone whose prescription is actively changing
	more than one diopter per year.
	Pregnant or nursing mothers with unstable
	refractions.
	Anyone who feels that he or she must absolutely
	gain 20/20 vision without glasses or contact lenses. (No surgeon can guarantee 20/20 vision without correction. Think of it, instead, as achieving a vastly decreased dependency on glasses and contact lenses.)
	Anyone unwilling to accept the possible risks and
	complications of LASIK surgery.
	Anyone with an uncontrolled or untreated eye
	disease. Certain corneal dystrophies or a history or herpetic keratitis (a herpes infection in the eye) may be relative contraindications, as are certain arthritic syndromes and other autoimmune disorders.
	Anyone on certain medications (Accutane, etc.)
