What Is LASIK?
Imagine Life Without Glasses
LASIK stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, a long-winded way to say LASIK is a minimally invasive vision correction procedure that involves reshaping the cornea so light can focus more accurately, helping you see more clearly. At Atlanta Vision Institute, we use specialized lasers, so our patients can enjoy crystal clear vision, and enjoy life without the hassle of glasses or contacts.
LASIK is one of the most widely performed elective procedures in the world and has helped millions of patients reduce or eliminate their need for glasses and contact lenses. Laser vision correction is designed to treat:
Nearsightedness (myopia): difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
Farsightedness (hyperopia): difficulty seeing up close
Astigmatism: blurred or distorted vision at all distances
The procedure itself typically takes only minutes, and many patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the experience is.
Vision Correction Options:
LASIK
Quick, precise, and effective for most patients.
Minimally invasive and ideal for active lifestyle patients (and those prone to dry eyes).
An advanced solution for patients not suited for LASIK.
A safe alternative for patients with thin corneas.
