Is LASIK Right for You?

SBK Advanced LASIK surgery from Durrie Vision is an excellent solution for someone who is at least 18 years old with a stable vision prescription for a year. Factors that can affect candidacy are the degree of the refractive error and the thickness and shape of the cornea, which are all determined during testing.

You should also have healthy eyes with no underlying conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, or corneal diseases. If you have any of these conditions, they must be treated and stabilized before LASIK can be considered.

LASIK Surgery FAQs

It’s normal to have many questions about SBK Advanced LASIK surgery. Here are some that are most frequently asked.

I have astigmatism. Can I still get LASIK?

Yes! In fact, this procedure is an excellent treatment for astigmatism. SBK eliminates astigmatism by flattening or steepening the curvature of the cornea.

What if I’m not a candidate for LASIK?

Although LASIK is the most commonly performed vision-correction procedure at Durrie Vision, it’s not the only one that can help you see better. Advancements in vision correction mean there are new procedures, techniques and technologies, leading to more options for more people. If your Advanced Ocular Analysis at Durrie Vision reveals you aren’t a candidate, our refractive surgeon can recommend other procedures that are appropriate for you.

How soon after LASIK can I return to normal activities?

Good news! One of the greatest benefits of LASIK is the quick recovery time. Although you can expect your vision to be blurry the first few hours after the procedure, you should be able to resume work and normal activities the following day.

What are the risks of LASIK?

The decision to have a vision correction procedure is a personal one. Rest assured, serious complications with LASIK surgery are extremely rare. Many of them can be reduced or eliminated through our thorough pre-op diagnostic testing.

Do LASIK results wear off?

One of the most common misconceptions about this procedure is that it wears off, but the reality is that it lasts. That’s because the eye has two lenses – the cornea on the front surface and the lens inside. LASIK permanently changes the cornea. Natural changes in the eye’s internal lens can affect near vision beginning in your 40s, and technologies exist to improve vision when those changes occur.

Get Started with a Free LASIK Consultation

Our Advanced Ocular Analysis (AOA) is the first step in determining the best vision correction procedure for you. Your eyes will be examined using the most advanced diagnostic testing and technologies available. You will then meet with one of our experienced doctors who will discuss your analysis, leaving with a comprehensive AOA report as well as our recommendations for treatment including recovery times, costs, and financing options.
