What actually happens to your eyes
The Technology, In Plain Language
What it does
Modern LASIK uses laser-guided technology to gently reshape the cornea — the clear front surface of your eye — so light focuses correctly without glasses or contact lenses.
Why it matters
Blade-free and custom-guided options exist because every eye is shaped a little differently. The right approach is chosen after your measurements, not before.
What the doctor evaluates
Corneal thickness, surface shape, and your prescription history all factor into which technology — if any — is appropriate for your eyes.

Real Stories & Education
What LASIK costs
Cost & the Current Offer
LASIK cost isn’t one fixed number — it depends on a few things your team can only confirm after your evaluation:
- Which LASIK technology is right for your eyes
- Whether one or both eyes need treatment
- The diagnostic tests required before your procedure
We don’t publish a single price online, because it wouldn’t be accurate for most people. The team can give you an exact figure after your evaluation.
The questions everyone asks
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
Will it hurt?
Most patients describe mild pressure, not pain — numbing drops are used throughout the procedure.
Is it safe?
LASIK is a well-established procedure worldwide. Like any medical procedure it carries some risk, which your doctor explains during your evaluation.
Could my power come back?
Rarely, some patients notice a small vision change years later. Your doctor discusses this based on your specific eyes.
How long is recovery?
Many patients notice improved vision within a day or two, though healing timelines vary by person and technology.
Is everyone eligible?
No — eligibility depends on factors like stable eye power, corneal health and general health, confirmed only in person.
What about after 40, or dry eyes?
Near-vision changes and dry-eye sensitivity are common concerns after 40 — the team factors these into your evaluation rather than ruling anyone out automatically.
