Overview

Laser eye surgery is a popular procedure used to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By using an excimer laser to precisely reshape the cornea, this surgery allows light to focus correctly on the retina. The result is clearer, sharper vision and a reduced or eliminated need for glasses or contact lenses, offering a new level of freedom and convenience.

Q: What are the risks of laser eye surgery? A: While generally safe, there are risks like dry eyes, halos, and, in rare cases, infection. Your doctor will discuss all potential risks with you in detail during your consultation.
