Would you like to live your life with more visual freedom? Are you tired of the everyday struggles with glasses and contact lenses? If you are like most people, you probably would rather not have to stick a contact lens in your eye. LASIK eye surgery, PRK and SMILE laser vision correction are alternatives that have helped nearly 30 million people and you can benefit as well. We will help you determine the safest and most precise way to correct your vision. It starts with a complimentary consultation where you and our surgeons will discuss options and your potential candidacy.
Schedule Your ConsultationI just want to say THANK YOU to all LA Sight staff! I was super nervous about the surgery, but everyone in the office made me feel safe! Surgery was really fast!!! No pain at all. I still can't believe that I don't need glasses anymore. I highly recommend LA sight! They know what they're doing. They really care about patients!
LASIK corrects optical imperfections including nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. It’s quick, virtually painless, and results can be observed immediately. The vast majority of people return to full activities the very next day. LASIK works by changing the curvature of the front corneal surface using computer-guided laser systems. To fully understand how LASIK works, it helps to first understand how the eye works.
The eye works like an elegant biological camera. Light from the outside world is focused by the combined effect of the cornea and the lens, so that a sharp image is created on the retina. In an eye with no need for distance prescription, light is brought into sharp focus exactly on the retina. The optically optimal eye of a person with zero prescription can see clearly at all ranges, near and far. Nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism are all imperfections of distance vision.
LASIK takes the imperfect shape of your cornea, whether too steep, too flat or out of round, and brings it back into round. This technology has elegantly resculpted the vision of literally millions of patients worldwide over the last 25 years. It takes a lifetime of blurry vision, and sharpens it in literally seconds.
The most important thing anyone interested in LASIK wants to know is, “What results can I expect?”. We publish a statistical review of our outcomes on an annual basis. We invite other surgeons and laser centers to analyze and publish their results. In that way, we can learn from, and help, each other. Ultimately, this kind of candid disclosure and public accountability serves the interests of our profession and all patients seeking LASIK care. When we talk with any prospective client seeking vision correction, we try to qualify our own use of statistics as follows:
Statistics are designed to analyze trends in a population or a group. They should not be used to predict future results in individual cases. For example, if the incidence of serious complications in LASIK is 1 in 15,000, that is extremely low for the overall population. But if you are that 1 case, then for you the complication rate is 100%.
Regrettably, some people use statistics to distort or misrepresent the truth, typically to their advantage. Do not base any decision, especially a surgical one, on statistics alone.
Laser correction for nearsightedness (myopia) is significantly different from correction for farsightedness (hyperopia). The shape and pattern of laser sculpting is different, and the long-term stability is different. Therefore, it makes more sense to us to present outcomes data for near- and farsightedness separately.
The average person spends over $20,000 on glasses, contact lenses, solution, eye exams, etc. Use our LASIK affordability calculator and see how much you can save with LASIK.
