THE SURGERY IS EASY
Laser vision treatment is a very easy procedure to undergo. No injections are needed, and there is no pain during the procedure. These are the steps you will experience:
1. Your doctor will measure your eyes to determine your amount of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During this presurgical consultation, your doctor will complete a thorough examination of the health of your eyes and discuss the procedure in detail with you.

3. The correction desired for your eye will be entered into the laser’s computer.
4. The computer will determine the specific set of laser pulses to apply.
5. You will be brought into the laser room and asked to lie down.
6. A patch will be placed over the eye not having the procedure.
7. Anesthetic eyedrops will be placed in the eye. No injections or IVs are needed.

9. You will be asked to look at a small blinking light.
