LASIK Basics

LASIK gathers the most successful techniques and advanced equipment from pioneering laser eye surgeries to work towards safe recovery. It’s one of the most sought after laser eye surgeries among patients considering refractive surgeries for correcting vision. Through rigorous consultation, deliberate planning, and excellent postoperative care, patients suffering from certain forms of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism stand a great chance of disposing of corrective eyewear.

Our Partner’s Procedure

Our TLC LASIK center partners, take over for us on referrals, as we guide our patients to their surgery centers. Their process is an all-laser surgery, carefully cutting a flap in your cornea so it folds back, revealing an operating surface on the corneal tissue underneath. Using targeted bursts of UV light previously computer-mapped areas of the operating surface, TLC laser eye surgeons precisely correct your cornea.

Qualifying Surgery Candidates

Many patients achieve 20/20 vision without glasses or contact lenses after surgery. But deciding who has the best chances at full recovery takes time. Our optometrists ensure every laser eye surgery candidate meets expert-made qualification criteria before referring them to our trusted laser eye surgeons. But there’s a strong need for support before and after the surgery, without which your chances of full recovery can suffer.

Checking Criteria for Laser Eye Surgery Candidates

Patients with dry eyes, glaucoma, cataracts, and other eye conditions stand to gain little from LASIK. So Eyes on Chagrin professionals ensure every laser eye surgery candidate qualifies completely — before referring you to our partnered TLC laser eye surgeons. And our diligent support extends to the postoperative period, so you can course-correct on your road to recovery.

Co-management from Consultation to Recovery

Our laser eye surgery co-management guides you through the surgical process every step of the way, except for the surgery itself. Some patients open their eyes to excellent vision almost immediately after they leave the operation room; about 95% of patients enjoy a complete recovery.

Our referrals rely on a trusted outpatient surgery center, and we work with them to get you the best chances for a full recovery from beginning to end. We watch out for complications and optimize your necessary preparations and postoperative care.
