LASIK Eye Surgery Support at Arizona's Vision

Considering LASIK eye surgery to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and contact lenses? At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, we provide comprehensive pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care to ensure your LASIK experience is successful and safe.

While we don't perform LASIK surgery in our office, we work closely with trusted LASIK surgeons in the Phoenix area to provide you with expert guidance, thorough pre-surgical evaluations, and attentive post-operative follow-up care.

What is LASIK Eye Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery procedure that uses laser technology to reshape the cornea and correct vision problems such as:

• Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
• Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects clearly
• Astigmatism: Blurred vision at all distances due to irregular corneal shape

The procedure typically takes only 10-15 minutes per eye and most patients notice immediate vision improvement. LASIK has an excellent safety record and high patient satisfaction rates, with many achieving 20/20 vision or better.

Pre-Operative LASIK Evaluation

A thorough pre-operative evaluation is essential to determine if you're a good candidate for LASIK surgery. At Arizona's Vision, we provide comprehensive assessments including:

Are You a Good Candidate for LASIK?

The ideal LASIK candidate typically meets these criteria:

• At least 18 years old (21+ for some procedures)
• Stable prescription for at least one year
• Adequate corneal thickness
• Healthy eyes free from disease
• Not pregnant or nursing
• Realistic expectations about outcomes
• No autoimmune disorders that affect healing
• Moderate to severe refractive error within treatable range

Who May Not Be Suitable for LASIK?

LASIK may not be recommended if you have:

• Thin or irregular corneas (keratoconus)
• Severe dry eye syndrome
• Unstable or progressive prescriptions
• Certain autoimmune conditions
• Active eye infections or inflammation
• Large pupils that may cause night vision issues
• Severe refractive errors beyond treatable range

Post-Operative LASIK Care

After your LASIK procedure, we provide comprehensive follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and visual outcomes. Post-operative care is crucial for successful LASIK results.

What to Expect After LASIK:

• Immediate Recovery: Most patients notice improved vision within hours
• First 24-48 Hours: Some discomfort, light sensitivity, and tearing are normal
• First Week: Vision continues to improve; avoid rubbing eyes and follow all post-op instructions
• First Month: Vision stabilizes; attend all follow-up appointments
• 3-6 Months: Final visual outcome typically achieved

Post-LASIK Follow-Up Schedule:

• Day 1: First post-operative check (usually with surgeon)
• Week 1: Early healing assessment
• Month 1: Vision stability check
• Month 3: Mid-term evaluation
• Month 6-12: Final outcome assessment
