What makes LASIK safe?
- Advanced laser technology
Modern LASIK uses ultra-precise laser systems that reduce risks and increase precision. These lasers map your eye for a completely customized treatment. - Quick and painless
LASIK procedure takes about 15 minutes for both eyes. Numbing drops ensure that you feel little to no discomfort and recovery is quick. - Minimal Complications
While all procedures carry some risks, serious complications of LASIK are extremely rare. The most common side effects – such as dry eyes and light sensitivity – are temporary. - A thorough pre-procedure exam
Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. Clinics perform thorough exams to ensure that your eyes are healthy for the procedure.
Potential Risks of LASIK
Although rare, some risks include:
- Temporary dry eyes (controlled with eye drops)

The best way to minimize your risks is to choose an experienced and highly qualified LASIK surgeon.
