Laser vision correction is the most common procedure performed in the United States. The quality of life for many of our patients has been dramatically improved by the procedure, as they can now enjoy life without anything between their eyes and their world in Austin.
Stars In Your Eyes Optometry patients select our office for a number of reasons:
- Brief recovery time - Most patients return to work and regular activity in a day or two. We will give you drops to use for a few weeks but the cornea does a great deal of healing over night.
- Minimal discomfort - We utilize an all laser procedure for the safest, most comfortable and quickest treatment. Our patients are equally comforted by how our doctor accompanies you and holds your hand during the entire procedure!
- Very low infection risk - Lasers provide the most sterile method of surgery.
- Low enhancement rate - Less re-treatment is needed. Our local surgeon boasts an enhancement rate less than half the national average-ask your Optometrist what the likelihood of enhancement is for your case.
- Relatively quick procedure to complete - Actual laser time is usually less than two minutes per eye!
- Very low risk of scarring - The laser beam is aimed at the middle, water layers of the cornea where there is little material to scar from a surgery.
- High degree of predictability- The measurements we take at your annual exam every year make you a better candidate for the procedure. We study how your eyes/corneas react over time to evaluate your suitability for the procedure. LASIK outcomes are very dependent on accurate prescription and topography readings performed preoperatively in our office.
- Preservation of the cornea - The procedure allows the highly metabolized surface tissues of your eye to heal with minimal scarring and/or weakening of your eye.
- Widest range of correctable prescriptions - Your doctors will select the right laser to provide your eyes with the most accurate treatment for many nearsighted, farsighted and even astigmatic corrections.
