LinkWhy LASIK Is the Most Popular Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe, highly effective laser eye surgery designed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By creating a thin corneal flap and reshaping the tissue underneath, LASIK improves how light focuses on your retina—resulting in clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Benefits of LASIK:
- Quick recovery—many patients see clearly within 24 hours
- Minimal discomfort during and after the procedure
- Long-lasting results with a high success rate
- Reduced dependence on corrective lenses
Other Laser Vision Correction Options at CLS Health
While LASIK is our most requested procedure, your eyes are unique—and we’ll always recommend the safest, most effective treatment for you.
PRK Surgery – Ideal for patients with thinner corneas or certain corneas. Removes the outer corneal layer before reshaping with a laser. Slightly longer healing, but excellent long-term results.
SMILE Eye Surgery – A minimally invasive laser procedure that removes a small lenticule from the cornea without creating a flap. Great for patients with dry eyes or active lifestyles.
What to Expect with LASIK Surgery
- Evaluation – Comprehensive eye exam, corneal mapping, and consultation to confirm LASIK candidacy
- Procedure Day – Quick outpatient surgery, typically under 30 minutes per eye

FAQs
Most patients qualify if they are over 18, have a stable prescription for at least a year, and don’t have conditions like keratoconus, uncontrolled dry eye, or autoimmune disorders. Pregnancy and certain medications may also affect eligibility. We’ll perform a detailed evaluation—including corneal scans and tear tests—during your consultation to determine if LASIK, SMILE, or PRK is right for you.
All three procedures reshape the cornea to correct vision, but the techniques vary:
- LASIK creates a flap before laser treatment.
- PRK removes the outer corneal layer before reshaping.
- SMILE uses a small incision to remove a thin disc inside the cornea.
Each has its own recovery timeline and advantages. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your eyes and lifestyle.
Recovery varies by procedure:
- LASIK: Most return to normal activities in 1–2 days.
- PRK: Takes longer, with 4–7 days of initial healing and gradual vision improvement.
- SMILE: Visual recovery often takes just a few days.
We’ll provide specific guidance and follow-up to support your healing.
No. Numbing drops keep the procedure comfortable. You may feel light pressure, but not pain. Afterward, LASIK and SMILE cause mild discomfort like dryness or irritation. PRK recovery involves more surface sensitivity for a few days, but we’ll help manage it with eye drops and medication if needed.
Laser vision correction is very safe when performed by experienced surgeons using advanced diagnostics. Side effects like halos or dry eye are usually temporary. Serious complications are rare. We take every step to evaluate your risk profile and create a personalized treatment plan.
Most insurance plans don’t cover LASIK because it’s considered elective.
Yes—LASIK, PRK, and SMILE are all approved for correcting astigmatism. Our advanced diagnostic tools help ensure precise treatment. Whether you have low, moderate, or high astigmatism, we’ll assess your eligibility and explain your best options.
To protect your eyes while they heal, avoid rubbing them, swimming, hot tubs, dusty environments, and eye makeup for at least 1–2 weeks. Wear sunglasses outdoors and use lubricating eye drops as directed. We’ll walk you through a full recovery plan after your procedure.
Yes—laser vision correction is typically done on both eyes in one appointment. This approach is safe and allows for a single recovery period. You’ll need a driver on surgery day and may experience temporary blurry vision for a few hours.
Vision results are long-lasting for most patients. The changes to your cornea are permanent, but age-related conditions like presbyopia may still develop later. Some patients may eventually need reading glasses or enhancements. Regular eye exams help monitor long-term outcomes.
