LASIK, which stands for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, is a surgical laser procedure used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It involves reshaping the cornea to improve vision and reduce or eliminate your dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
BayCare's Green Bay Eye Clinic is the exclusive regional provider of blade-free CustomCornea® LASIK surgery, today’s most advanced refractive surgical technology. It offers vision clarity beyond regular LASIK and has been shown to reduce higher order aberrations, which can be associated with night glare and halos. Find out more about our CustomCornea® procedure.
The procedure for LASIK typically requires just seconds of laser treatment per eye. After anesthetic drops are placed in the eye, the surgeon uses an IntraLase® laser to create a thin flap in the cornea. The flap is lifted, and an excimer laser (Allegretto) is used to remove tissue and permanently alter the shape of the cornea. Finally, the flap is laid back in place where it heals almost instantly. After receiving LASIK eye surgery, many patients notice immediate improvements in their vision.
Some patients are unable to receive LASIK due to thin corneas or large pupils. For them, PRK is a superb alternative.
LASIK is a quick, outpatient procedure that is virtually painless. Although a few patients experience night vision challenges or dry eyes, most patients are very satisfied with the results of this surgery. As with any surgery, there is a slight risk of infection or complication, and incomplete vision correction is a possibility. Serious complications following LASIK, or any refractive procedure, are rare.
If you believe you may be a good candidate for LASIK, please contact our practice to set up a pre-surgery consultation at (920) 327-7070.
