Welcome to our comprehensive guide on vision correction procedures. Here, our refractive eye surgeon addresses common concerns and questions about surgeries designed to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contacts. This resource offers clear explanations, step-by-step overviews, and guidance to help you feel confident about your decision.

Candidate Eligibility for Vision Correction Procedures

Understanding whether you are a good candidate for vision correction is the first important step toward clearer sight. Generally, ideal candidates are over 18 years old, have a stable eyeglass prescription for at least one year (or two years in some evaluations), and are in good overall health. Our refractive eye surgeon conducts a thorough evaluation that includes examining your prescription details, corneal health, and visual goals to ensure the chosen procedure is right for you.

Specific criteria for the most common procedures include:

Recovery Process after
Vision Correction

After your vision correction procedure, most patients experience rapid improvements and a swift return to their daily activities. However, the recovery course can vary from person to person. Our refractive eye surgeon provides clear, personalized instructions to help you feel at ease during your post-surgery healing.

Prescription Changes After Surgery

One common question we receive is whether your vision can change after a vision correction procedure. Although LASIK and similar surgeries have made it possible for many to enjoy stable, clear vision for years, factors such as natural aging, presbyopia, or conditions like cataracts can influence vision later in life. It’s important to remember that while the surgical correction of the cornea itself is long-lasting, regular eye exams remain a key part of maintaining overall eye health.

Our refractive eye surgeon suggests monitoring changes with regular evaluations. If your vision changes, a minor touch-up treatment or additional corrective measures may be recommended to keep your eyes performing at their best.
