Laser Eye Surgery Consultations Explained

Why Do I Need Consultation for Laser Eye Surgery?

The consultation process for laser eye surgery helps us decide if it’s right for your needs. We consider multiple factors when making our decision, such as:

  • The thickness of your cornea
  • The stability of your vision
  • Your specific vision problem and its severity
  • Risk factors in your personal or family medical history

If we determine that laser eye surgery is right for you, we’ll go over the potential outcomes with you so you can make an informed choice. If you wish to proceed, we’ll refer you to an ophthalmologist who will carry out your procedure.

We work closely with your ophthalmologist to co-manage your procedure and make the process easier for you. When the surgery is over, you’ll need to visit us for your follow-up appointments so we can monitor your recovery.

Types of Laser Eye Surgery

LASIK and PRK are the 2 most common kinds of laser eye surgery. Both surgeries come with extremely high patient satisfaction rates.

LASIK

This is the most commonly performed laser eye surgery in the world. Your ophthalmologist will perform LASIK by using a laser to:

Your ophthalmologist will then replace the flap they created so it can heal after the procedure. LASIK offers relatively fast recovery times, with most patients enjoying clear vision within 24 hours and recovering completely in under 3 weeks.

PRK is often recommended for patients whose corneas are too thin for LASIK. Your ophthalmologist will perform PRK by using a laser to:

  • Completely remove the cornea’s outer layer
  • Reshape the tissue underneath to change how your eye focuses incoming light

After the surgery, the outer layer of your cornea will need time to grow back. PRK takes longer to recover from than LASIK (up to 3 months for total recovery).
