You can enjoy good eyesight well into your senior years through proper eye care. Advances in eye surgery technology have made it easier to correct myopia and astigmatism to improve your sight. Eye Care Center-Ballantyne offers pre and post-op care for LASIK eye surgery, emergency eye care, and other vision services.
Evaluation for LASIK Surgery
LASIK is a surgical procedure that can help correct refractive errors in your vision to improve your sight. LASIK entails using a laser to reshape your eye's cornea to give you a more precise picture. A visit to our optometrist can determine if you’re a good candidate for LASIK treatment.
Our optometrist will test your eye health and vision to see if you qualify for LASIK treatment. The best candidates are those with a stable prescription and no signs of eye health issues. However, chronic conditions can impair your healing, making you a poor candidate.
If you qualify for LASIK, we will refer you to a reputable eye surgeon for treatment. An eye surgeon will conduct further diagnostic tests to verify your eligibility for this procedure. If you pass these tests, a date will be set for your surgery.
Post-Operative LASIK Care
After your surgery, our eye doctor will monitor your recovery. We’ll set up follow-up appointments for the next six months to check your vision and eyes to ensure no complications arise from your surgery. We’ll also perform a complete eye exam after one year to gauge the long-term effects of your treatment.
Advantages of LASIK Surgery
If you rely on glasses or contacts for optimal vision, you’ll be pleased with the clear vision that LASIK surgery can provide. After LASIK, you’ll no longer require corrective lenses for improved sight. In addition, as LASIK results are permanent, you can enjoy long-term freedom from wearing glasses to have a clear, stable view.
Advancements in LASIK technology have made this treatment more cost-effective than ever. In addition, vision insurance covers partial payment of LASIK to help facilitate this treatment. Immediate surgery and quick recovery times are additional advantages of this procedure.
