Commonly Asked Questions:
How soon after surgery will I see well?
Vision is usually good in 3 to 5 days.

Will refractive surgery hurt?
During the procedure, a strong topical anesthetic is used to numb the eye. Generally, only pressure is felt during the procedure.

Will I still need my glasses or contacts?
The goal of refractive surgery is to reduce your dependence on glasses and/or contact lenses, but LASEK patients still may benefit from reading glasses or distance glasses when they desire perfect near or distance vision.

Will my insurance cover LASEK?
Most health care coverage considers LASEK surgery an elective surgical procedure and does not cover it. For our LASEK patients, we highly recommend CareCredit® or ChaseHealth
Advance.
