LASIK/PRK
LASIK is a non-invasive eye surgery using the technology of the excimer laser to reshape the cornea. LASIK uses a beam of cool light to reshape the top layer of the cornea so that images focus correctly on the retina.
ASIK Eye Surgery in Alta Vista Eye Clinic
Prior to your LASIK surgery, numerous tests will be performed on your eyes to determine the amount of correction needed. A computer, controlled by your LASIK eye surgeon, is used to precisely calculate the exact amount of cornea that needs to be removed for each person’s individual eyes. If you’re considering LASIK Surgery in Ohio, start with our LASIK self-evaluation. The best way to start understanding if LASIK is right for you is with a Lasik Self-Test!
PRK vs LASIK Surgery
A lot of people are curious about the LASIK surgery process and wonder what LASIK surgery is like. During LASIK, our femtosecond LASIK laser will be used to create a thin flap from the surface of the cornea. This laser takes the place of the microkeratome blade that is used in traditional LASIK. The flap is then lifted to expose the inner layer of the cornea. Once the flap is lifted the excimer laser is then used to treat this inner layer. The excimer is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue to correct any irregularities.
After LASIK vs PRK is complete, the corneal flap is set back into place. This flap will naturally bond to the treated cornea, eliminating the need for sutures. Natural pressure from the eyelid and other factors will help to hold the flap in place as healing occurs, minimizing discomfort.
The center of the cornea is now flattened, allowing light rays to be focused more precisely on the retina and images will be seen more sharply. Most patients will notice a dramatic improvement after their LASIK surgery. However, maximum improvement will occur over the next three to four weeks. Both antibiotic drops and steroid drops will be used for a period of two weeks following LASIK surgery to ensure the cornea is properly healing. Artificial tears will also be used abundantly to help keep the cornea smooth and moist during the healing period.

I have been trusting Alta Vista Eye Care for the last 15 years. Absolutely A+ service. Dr. Garg takes time to explain every procedure and test and why this approach will work best.
