What is LASIK
Imagine being able to work, drive, read the clock, play sports, snow ski- do just about everything - without always having to reach for your glasses or contacts. An eye treatment called LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) could make this a reality for you. If you're a candidate for LASIK, Dr. Drucker can reshape the surface of your eye using a laser, so that images focus more clearly. The result can be a dramatic improvement in your vision - and your lifestyle.
Could LASIK change your life?
Depending on glasses or contacts to see may cramp your lifestyle. Glasses fog up, fall off, scratch, and break. Frames and thick lenses interfere with side vision. Contacts can irritate your
eyes, especially if dust gets under a lens or if you have dry eyes or allergies. Both glasses and contacts can limit your choice of careers or sports. LASIK may be an option that could reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contacts.
Is LASIK right for you?
The success of LASIK depends mainly on your eyes. You may be a good candidate for LASIK if your vision is stable, you have myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness) with or without astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea, the clear covering of your eye) and you have no other eye problems.
