- Convenience and Freedom: Say goodbye to the hassles of glasses and contact lenses. With LASIK, you can enjoy the freedom of clear vision throughout the day, whether it’s for work, sports, or leisure activities. No more worrying about misplaced glasses or discomfort from contact lenses.

Considering LASIK eye surgery in New York? Here are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand the procedure:
- What is LASIK? LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is a safe and effective procedure that can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Generally, suitable candidates are over 18 years old, have a stable vision prescription, and are in good overall eye health. Our experienced team will evaluate your specific circumstances and advise you on the best course of action.
