Can you imagine living your life free of glasses and contacts? That is the reality with LASIK. LASIK is a simple and brief outpatient procedure. Within minutes you will be enjoying 20/20 or better vision! LASIK is an acronym for laser in situ keratomileusis. LASIK is the most common form of laser vision correction and the most effective elective procedure in the world. For over 30 years, Ophthalmologists like Dr. Horn, have perfected the procedure and can now easily correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
The technique creates a flap on the surface of the eye to provide Dr. Horn with access to the cornea. At Vision for Life we use the most state-of-the-art LASIK technology; the Wavelight EX500 LASIK laser and Contoura Vision – topography-guided LASIK treatment. The Wavelight EX500 laser is used to make modifications to the cornea that will improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
The laser system is designed with a precise tracking system that ensures that changes are only made to the exact locations of the eye that affect vision. Once Dr. Horn is satisfied with the corneal shape, the flap is returned to its position. The flap re-seals to the eye within a few minutes. The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes for both eyes. Your vision is restored within a few hours
