A Closer Look at LASIK Surgery Which Vision Problems Does LASIK Correct?
LASIK, formally known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is laser eye surgery performed to correct refractive errors that prevent your eyes from focusing correctly. Many people find they no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses after surgery. This laser vision correction can fix:
Nearsightedness
Also called myopia, nearsightedness is when close-up vision is clear, but distance vision is blurry.
Farsightedness
Also called hyperopia, farsightedness is when distance vision is clear, but close-up vision is blurry.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is an error in the curvature of the eye that can cause blurry vision at all distances.
Laser vision correction surgery involves creating a flap in the outermost corneal tissue (epithelium) and then reshaping the tissue underneath (stroma) to enhance your ability to focus.

They exceeded any expectations we might have. My adult child had a very high eye prescription and Dr. McCall performed Lasik and now my son can see 20/20. The office staff is kind and efficient. The doctor and his staff took their time to put us at ease. Professional, efficient and thorough. Highly recommend.

LASIK survey with Dr. Alexander has been the best experience! Cornea Associates came highly recommended and I understood why, right from the beginning. LASIK itself was quick and fairly easy. I would highly recommend Dr. Alexander and the professionals at Cornea Associates of Texas!

Your follow-up appointment schedule will look like the following: 1 day post-op, 7–10 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months.
Is LASIK Safe?
Laser eye surgery is incredibly safe, and today’s advanced technology has made it safer and more precise than ever before. According to the American Refractive Surgery Council, the LASIK procedure carries a less than one percent chance of surgical complications.
Of course, technology is just one part of refractive eye surgery. To reduce the chance of complications you will also want to choose a highly trained specialist in eye surgery.
The LASIK surgeons at Cornea Associates of Texas are highly skilled when it comes to using the advanced technology used in today's LASIK procedures. In fact, many of them participated in the original Food and Drug Administration (FDA) trials for using excimer lasers in eye surgeries.
Reach out to our team today to find out if this procedure is right for you.
Can LASIK Treat Presbyopia?
Because LASIK treats the cornea, it is not an effective treatment for presbyopia. Presbyopia is an age-related inability to focus on nearby objects due to a loss of flexibility in the crystalline lens, which is the disc of tissue that lies behind the cornea within the eye. During a consultation, we can identify your vision needs and recommend the most effective treatment for your case.

"I had a great experience at Cornea Associates of Texas for my LASIK procedure. The staff was always friendly and the wait time was always short when I went in for my consultation and check ups. Dr. Bowman was always friendly and explained the LASIK procedure thoroughly. It's been a year since having LASIK and it's been life changing. With a toddler and now a newborn, it's been such a help not having to mess with contacts and glasses. I definitely recommend Cornea Associates of Texas!" Sarah H., 5-Star Google Review
Requirements for Undergoing LASIK Surgery
Safety comes first at our Dallas practice. We perform rigorous screening of candidates to ensure that we only move forward when a patient can expect good results. If you don't qualify for LASIK eye surgery, we may recommend a procedure better suited for you, such as PRK or placement of a phakic intraocular lens. Candidacy requirements include:
Because the eyes of younger patients are still changing, LASIK is only recommended for those who are 18 or older.
LASIK requires a tissue flap on the surface of the eye, so you need sufficient corneal thickness to qualify for surgery.
If you have corneal diseases, cataracts, glaucoma, or other ocular health concerns, you might not be a good candidate.
To undergo LASIK, your eyeglasses prescription should be stable. Otherwise, you might need to undergo additional touch-ups more frequently.
Having large pupils can increase your risk of post-surgical complications such as halos, poor night vision, or glare.
Because some diseases can affect candidacy, we will discuss your medical history with you to ensure that you are healthy enough for surgery.

Recovering From LASIK Tips for Smooth Healing
You'll likely be able to get back to your normal routine within a day or two of your LASIK procedure. Your eyes will continue to heal over the next several months, with full vision stabilization usually occurring around the six-month mark. These are the top tips we give LASIK patients to encourage a simple and easy healing process:
Use Your Eye Drops as Directed by Your Doctor
Your doctor will likely prescribe steroidal or antibiotic eye drops for you to use in the first few days after LASIK, and they may also recommend adding a lubricating eye drop to your routine. The prescription eye drops will be very important to ensure proper healing, and the lubricating eye drops will help you mitigate discomfort.
Don't Rub Your Eyes and Avoid Using Eye Makeup
Even if you feel the urge, don't rub or itch your eyes in the first month of LASIK recovery. You could disturb the corneal flap and require further attention from a doctor. Use lubricating eye drops to soothe irritation instead. Similarly, do not wear eye makeup for a few weeks to keep the healing site clean and free of infection.
Attend All Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your eye doctor will schedule several follow-up visits to our Dallas eye care office in the 12 months after your LASIK surgery, and it's important that you attend all of them. These visits allow your doctor to monitor your progress much more closely than they could otherwise, which keeps you on track to achieve your ideal results.
