LASIK Manhattan

The Procedure:
LASIK. Manhattan. The two really go hand in hand. We stay on top of the latest things here in Manhattan. LASIK utilizes the latest, most advanced laser. We like things fast-paced in Manhattan. LASIK is a remarkably quick procedure involving almost no recovery time. But before pursuing LASIK, Manhattan needs to understand how it works.

The procedure begins with a thin layer of the cornea being folded back, exposing its inner layers. With the use of a precision laser, your surgeon will reshape these inner layers, keeping the surface of the cornea untouched. This change in the curve of the eye redirects light to the retina, just as it would be directed for someone with normal vision. The nature of the cornea allows it to adhere naturally back in place without stitching.

The Recovery:
The procedure only takes about 15 minutes, and while patients need an escort home, most are able to return to work and can drive again just a day or two after surgery. More active endeavors, like swimming and exercise, should be avoided for about 2 weeks following surgery. Very congested or dusty, dirty places should be avoided for at least a week after surgery to keep your eyes from the risk of infection. As with any surgery, there are some risks involved with LASIK that should be discussed with your doctor.
