One of the most popular words in laser eye correction today is LASIK. LASIK technology has made a revolutionary breakthrough in the world of ophthalmology and laser surgery. An enormous number of people already prefer LASIK to wearing glasses and contact lenses. This type of laser eye surgery helps 95% of patients improve their vision completely. However, not all patients are well-informed about the LASIK technique.

The LASIK laser procedure is performed to correct eye refractive errors. During the surgery, the cornea is reshaped and corrected with an Excimer laser. It helps to remove defects of the eye, such as astigmatism, hyperopia (farsightedness), and myopia (nearsightedness). In emergency cases, corneal tissues are even removed.

At the Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center, a LASIK procedure is carried out in few steps:

• Dr. William Boothe will first create a corneal flap with microkeratome after local anesthesia.
• Then the flap will be folded from the center of the cornea. This will help Dr. Boothe to have access to the tissue beneath.
• With the help of an Excimer laser, Dr. Boothe will remodel the tissue of your cornea and correct the defects of your eye.
• When the correction is done, Dr. Boothe will carefully restore the flap to its place, where it will heal without stitches.

It takes around two minutes to perform this kind of surgery. When a LASIK procedure is compeleted, you will no longer need to wear glasses or contacts. In most cases, you can even drive a car the next day.

All kinds of LASIK eye surgery performed at the Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center have met with the approval of appropriate government organizations. This state-of-the-art technology has been used for around twenty years. Everyday our team keeps surveying different patients, different laser surgery suits and different laser equipment. Today, vision defects are no longer a problem and can be easily corrected using LASIK technology.
