How Lasik Surgery Works
Laser vision surgeries reshape the clear front part of the eye, the cornea. This allows light traveling through it to focus properly on the retina at the back of the eye. LASIK and other laser vision surgeries are performed at Woodhams Eye Clinic. After your initial examination and consultation, we will recommend the right procedure for you.
During LASIK with the WaveLIght Laser system, our doctors will use the Femtosecond Laser to create a thin protective corneal flap and then use the WaveLight EX500 vision correction laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes less than 5 minutes per eye.
Patients with thin or flat corneas, who are poor candidates for WaveLight Femtosecond LASIK, may be treated with PRK/LASEK surgery. During this procedure, INSTEAD OF creating a protective corneal flap and treating the inner corneal tissue, the surface protective epithelial cells are removed and the laser vision correction is performed on the surface of the cornea. Woodhams Eye Clinic WaveLight EX500 to reshape the corneal surface. Longer recovery times are common for this type of surgery but the result will be the same high-quality vision obtained with WaveLight Femtosecond LASIK.
