The loss of eyesight can be debilitating and usually happens over a period of time. Even if you have perfect vision throughout your young adult life, your vision is still prone to worsening as you get older. Corrective lenses can help you see clearly, but you will need to update your prescription every few years. If you do not want corrective lenses or to update your prescription frequently, Lasik eye surgery may be the best way to improve your vision. Lasik can help you regain your vision without needing glasses or contacts. If you live in Oxford or Raleigh, our team here at New Century Ophthalmology is here to help.
Lasik Procedure
Before the procedure, we will put numbing drops in your eyes to make the process pain-free. At most, you will feel a bit of pressure during the procedure. The procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye. After the procedure, your vision will be blurry.
It is suggested that you go home after and relax. For the rest of the day, avoid watching TV, using the computer, and doing closeup work. When you wake up the next morning, you should be able to see clearly without your glasses or contact lenses.
