The decision to have LASIK is an important one that ultimately, only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes and misconceptions. The goal of LASIK is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. LASIK does not always create 20/20 or even 20/40 vision. It cannot correct a condition known as presbyopia, or aging of the eye which normally occurs around age 40 which may require the use of reading glasses. In fact, people over 40 who have their distance vision improved may find they need reading glasses after the procedure. Bloomington LASIK surgeon Dr. Lockhart will provide you with additional information that will allow you to make an informed decision.

Presbyopia is the medical term for age-related farsightedness, a phenomenon that happens to many people around age 40, causing people with normally good vision to have difficulty reading and seeing things up close. Presbyopia develops due to the gradual loss of flexibility in the natural lens of the eye. With less flexibility, the eye can no longer change shape and thus has a harder time focusing up close. The result is blurred near vision. Professional Eye Associates offers LASIK in Dalton, Georgia.

Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center is the FIRST and ONLY center in Northern New England offering an “all laser,” blade-free, LASIK procedure. In fact, the DaVinci Femtosecond laser is one of the newest, and most advanced bladeless lasers on the market today. In traditional LASIK surgery, a thin flap in the cornea is created by a microkeratome (a mechanical device with a precise, sharp blade). The DaVinci Femtosecond laser solves the “flap cutting with a blade” by using an extraordinarily fast and ultra precise laser that essentially creates millions of air bubbles in the cornea that overlap creating a “bubble” on the front of the eye, which is then gently lifted.  Being a great alternative for patients who previously were unable to get LASIK due to thin corneas or dry eyes, For more information on bladeless LASIK in Porsmouth, NH, contact Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center.
