Is it Right for You?
SBK Advanced LASIK at 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 as well as the thickness and shape of the cornea – 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.

SBK LASIK FAQs
I have astigmatism. Can I still get SBK Advanced LASIK?
Yes! In fact, SBK Advanced LASIK is an excellent treatment for astigmatism. LASIK eliminates astigmatism by flattening or steepening the curvature of the cornea.
What if I’m not a candidate for SBK Advanced LASIK?
While SBK Advanced 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.
What are the risks of SBK Advanced LASIK?
The decision to have a vision correction procedure is a personal one. Rest assured, serious complications with SBK Advanced LASIK are extremely rare. Many of them can be reduced or eliminated through our thorough pre-op diagnostic testing.
How soon after SBK Advanced LASIK can I return to normal activities?
Good news! One of the greatest benefits of SBK Advanced LASIK is the quick recovery time. While 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.
Does SBK Advanced LASIK wear off?
One of the most common misconceptions about LASIK 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.
