How LASIK Works

LASIK is a precise laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. At Eye Care of East Bay, our board-certified surgeons with over 21 years of experience perform LASIK using state-of-the-art technology to achieve optimal results for patients in Walnut Creek and throughout the East Bay.

Step-by-Step Overview of LASIK

1. Comprehensive Eye Exam: We evaluate your eyes, prescription stability, and corneal health to determine candidacy.
   
   
2. Customized Treatment Plan: Each procedure is tailored to your unique eye structure and vision goals.
   
   
3. The Procedure: LASIK reshapes the cornea using a precise laser. The procedure is quick, usually lasting 15-30 minutes, and is performed under numbing drops.
   
   
4. Recovery: Most patients notice improved vision within 24-48 hours. Post-operative care includes follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
