Is LASIK Right for Me? Answering the Most Common Questions

What Is LASIK?

LASIK is one of the most popular and effective vision correction procedures worldwide. It reshapes the cornea using advanced laser technology, allowing light to focus properly on the retina — giving you clearer, sharper vision without glasses or contacts. 

Am I a Good Candidate for LASIK?

LASIK is an excellent option for many people who want to say goodbye to glasses and contacts. The best LASIK candidates are:

  • 18 years or older with stable vision for at least one year
  • Free of significant eye diseases (like advanced glaucoma or cataracts)
  • Have healthy corneal thickness and shape
  • Not pregnant or nursing

Our experienced team uses advanced diagnostic imaging to assess your corneal health and ensure LASIK is a safe option for your eyes — and they’ll walk you through it every step of the way, from consultation to post-op.

What Are the Benefits of LASIK?

There are several benefits of having LASIK at our clinic. 

  • Immediate Results: Many patients notice clearer vision within hours.
  • Long-Lasting Freedom: Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better.
  • Quick Recovery: Minimal discomfort and downtime.
  • Active Lifestyle Friendly: No more worrying about glasses fogging up or contacts drying out.

What Are the Risks of LASIK?

Like all medical procedures, LASIK has some risks — such as temporary dryness, light sensitivity, or visual halos at night. These typically resolve during recovery. Rarely, some patients may experience residual refractive error requiring enhancement. 

Most side effects are mild and resolve during the healing process. Before your procedure, the LENS & LASIK team will review everything in detail to ensure you feel confident moving forward.

What About Cost?

LASIK is typically considered an elective procedure, meaning it’s not covered by most insurance plans. That’s why we offer flexible financing that makes it easy to pay for your procedure and fix your eyes now.

LASIK Alternatives

If LASIK isn’t right for you, there are other effective options:

“One of the biggest myths is that LASIK is the only option. We offer a range of solutions — it’s about what’s safest and most effective for your eyes.” – Dr. Dang
