If you are considering laser vision correction, the first step will be a LASIK and refractive eye surgery consultation. The goal of this consultation is to inform and educate you about your treatment options and determine if you are a good candidate for refractive eye surgery, as it is not right for everyone. At Integrity Eye Care, we offer LASIK consultations in Murfreesboro to help you decide on the best choice for your eye health.
What Is Refractive Eye Surgery?
Refractive eye surgeries can include a variety of different procedures, but LASIK surgery is the most widely known. It is an option often selected by those wanting to reduce or eliminate the need for contact lenses or eyeglasses.
LASIK surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient surgery. The surgery is performed using a computer-controlled laser and a small blade to reshape the cornea. This quick procedure typically involves minor side effects and minimal discomfort for the patient. LASIK eye surgery is most often used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
What to Expect During a LASIK Consultation
A comprehensive eye exam at Integrity Eye Care is the first step in finding out whether LASIK or another vision correction procedure is right for you. When scheduling your appointment, let our staff know you’re interested in laser eye surgery, and we’ll be sure to include a LASIK consultation as part of your visit.
Your comprehensive eye exam will include an assessment of your vision and overall eye health. We’ll also use this time to determine whether vision correction surgery may be a good fit for you, evaluating factors such as:
- Your current prescription
- The presence of any eye diseases
- The thickness and shape of your cornea
- The overall health of your eyes
We’re happy to discuss the various refractive surgery options with you, along with the possible risks, benefits, and costs, which can vary depending on the type of LASIK technology used or recommended. If you’re found to be a good candidate for laser eye correction, we’ll refer you to a qualified ophthalmologist for the procedure.
What Happens After LASIK Surgery?
Your body will need time to heal and recover after LASIK surgery. Our eye doctors offer post-operative care for LASIK and refractive eye surgery at our office in Murfreesboro. We’ll monitor your healing, keep an eye out for any side effects, and provide guidance on what to do and avoid in the days following surgery to help ensure a thorough recovery.
If you’re interested in LASIK or refractive eye surgery, schedule an appointment with our experienced eye doctors to find out if it’s the right choice for you.
