LASIK surgery is a life-changing procedure that helps you achieve clear vision by reshaping the cornea, reducing or eliminating your need for glasses or contacts. At Twin Cities Eye Consultants (TCEC), LASIK is a quick and effective procedure that typically results in 20/20 vision or better. With advancements in laser technology, you can enjoy long-lasting results and improved vision that enhances your quality of life.
How LASIK Works
LASIK uses advanced laser technology to precisely reshape the cornea. The procedure begins with the creation of a corneal flap, followed by a quick reshaping step that corrects how light is focused on the retina. This allows us to correct conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Will My LASIK Results Last?
One of the most common questions we get is, “How long does LASIK last?” Once the cornea is reshaped, the treatment effects of LASIK are typically permanent.
Factors That May Impact Vision Over Time
While LASIK provides a long-lasting solution to refractive errors, your eyes may still undergo natural changes as you age. It’s important to remember that LASIK doesn’t prevent age-related eye conditions, such as cataracts. If aging of the eye or unrelated eye conditions occur, some patients may need additional treatment to maintain their optimal vision.
Lifelong Vision Care
LASIK offers a lifetime of improved vision, and by staying proactive with eye care, you can enjoy those benefits for many years. At TCEC, our skilled surgeons and advanced technology ensure that your LASIK experience is as smooth and effective as possible. Should your eyes naturally change over time, we’re here to support you with the care you need.
