While glasses and contacts do provide clearer vision, they add a daily hassle to life that can interfere with a range of activities.
LASIK can free you from the annoyances of glasses and contacts. Our Chicago IL team provides pre-and post-operative care for LASIK patients.
What can LASIK do for me?
LASIK can provide an immediate improvement in your vision. While it may take a few weeks to completely adjust, most patients report clearer vision right away.
While LASIK has a greater upfront cost, you may end up saving hundreds of dollars each year by not having to update your eyeglass or contact prescription.
What happens during LASIK eye surgery?
Our team at Wicker Park Eye Center in Chicago, IL has a close partnership with LasikPlus, allowing us to match our patients with highly skilled and experienced LASIK surgeons. Our doctors can handle all aspects of your pre- and post-operative care to ensure better results and a more comfortable treatment overall. In addition, we offer a $500 discount to our patients who undergo LASIK with our partner organization.
Am I eligible for LASIK?
LASIK eye surgery can correct astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. However, there are certain concerns that can impact your candidacy for LASIK, including:
Before undergoing LASIK, it is important to ensure that your corrective lens prescription has been stable for at least a year.
Since the LASIK procedure involves creating a flap in the cornea, thin corneas can make this treatment unsafe. We can recommend an alternative procedure, such as PRK or IOL refractive surgery, if necessary.
There is a range of health conditions that can increase your risk of LASIK complications. These include uncontrolled diabetes, cataracts, and keratoconus.
For severe refractive errors, LASIK may not provide the desired results. We may recommend an alternative, such as intraocular lenses.
The best way to find out if this type of refractive eye surgery is right for you is to schedule an appointment at our office.
Let’s take a closer look at the LASIK procedure...
Before recommending LASIK, our team can perform a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to assess the thickness of your cornea, your pupil diameter, your level of tear production, and a range of other factors.
If we determine you are a good candidate for LASIK, we can coordinate your procedure with our partner surgeons at LasikPlus.
What will my vision be like after treatment?
What is the recovery process like?
After your LASIK procedure, you will return to our office so we can monitor your recovery. Follow-up appointments typically occur at:
For some patients, we will schedule additional follow-ups after nine or 12 months. During each appointment, we will review your patient history and your uncorrected prescription.
After three months, we will perform a more extensive examination, including tests to assess the surface of your cornea, the level of pressure in your eye, and other aspects of your ocular health.
