LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK Surgery

Most people associate vision correction with eyeglasses and contacts, but other options exist to correct your vision. Some people grow tired of relying on corrective lenses for blurry vision. LASIK surgery provides a way to correct refractive errors for clearer vision. Our eye doctor at H. Arnold Papernick, OD, in Mt. Pleasant, PA, offers pre-operative consultations and post-operative care for LASIK. Our optometrist, Dr. Papernick, can help you determine the best option for your vision correction needs.

What Is LASIK?

LASIK surgery is a procedure that reshapes your cornea to correct refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK surgery is an invasive procedure, so this procedure is not suitable for everyone. You need a pre-operative consultation to determine if LASIK is correct for you.

How Is LASIK Done?

An eye surgeon makes a tiny flap in your eye to access your corneal tissue during this procedure. The surgeon reshapes your cornea to correct your vision. LASIK can help correct refractive errors like astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness, but you may not get the results you desire if your refractive errors are severe. Underlying medical conditions can affect whether you are a good candidate for LASIK. Certain health conditions can complicate the healing process of your eyes after surgery.

What Is a Pre-Operative LASIK Consultation?

Our optometrist cannot perform LASIK in the office, but Dr. Papernick can evaluate your eyes and vision to determine if LASIK surgery is suitable for you. For example, your corneas need to be thick enough to handle loss of tissue during LASIK surgery. Our eye doctor can also guide you in choosing a reputable and experienced LASIK surgeon.

What Is Post-Operative LASIK Care?

You may notice vision improvement within a day after getting LASIK surgery. Dr. Papernick will have you come into our office to check your vision and eyes the day after your procedure. You might also need to come in for occasional follow-up visits to ensure your eyes are healing correctly. We will have you visit again a year after LASIK surgery for a comprehensive eye exam to determine the results of your procedure.
