LASIK Eye Surgery in Jacksonville, FL is a safe, effective way to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and contact lenses. This advanced laser procedure reshapes the cornea to improve how light enters your eye, delivering clear, sharp vision with minimal downtime.
Before performing LASIK Eye Surgery, our doctors use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools for detailed analysis. We start with advanced ocular mapping using the Pentacam, which evaluates the front and back surfaces of the cornea. Additional tests using Sightmap and Optical Coherence Tomography provide further insight into corneal thickness and curvature. This comprehensive approach helps us design a customized treatment plan for your unique vision needs.
Vision correction has come a long way since the early days of radial keratotomy (RK), which involved manual incisions in the cornea. In the late 1980s, laser technology revolutionized the field by making procedures more precise and safer. Today, LASIK Eye Surgery and PRK are considered the standard of care for laser vision correction. Both use computer-guided excimer lasers to reshape the cornea with exceptional accuracy.
