What Is LASIK?

LASIK is a highly effective procedure used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By gently reshaping the cornea, LASIK allows light to focus properly on the retina, often resulting in vision better than you ever experienced with glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is painless, fast, and can dramatically improve your quality of life, making everyday activities like reading, driving, or enjoying outdoor activities easier and more enjoyable.

Introducing Topography-Guided Contoura® LASIK

At Eye Surgeons of Indiana, we offer Contoura LASIK, an advanced topography-guided treatment that maps up to 22,000 unique points on your cornea. This highly precise system creates a fully individualized treatment plan tailored to match the microscopic contours of your eyes.

The result is often sharp, clear vision with reduced irregularities, often providing patients with a visual experience beyond what glasses or contacts can offer. Contoura LASIK ensures your treatment is completely personalized for optimal outcomes.

Am I a Good Candidate for LASIK?

LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for most adults, but proper candidacy is crucial for achieving the best results. You may be a good candidate if:

You are at least 18 years old
Your prescription is stable for at least one year
You have realistic expectations about what LASIK can achieve
Your prescription falls within treatment guidelines
Your eyes and overall health are good
You are not pregnant or nursing

Certain factors, including age, dry eye syndrome, and corneal thickness, may affect LASIK candidacy. At Eye Surgeons of Indiana, we evaluate each patient individually and offer alternative procedures when LASIK is not recommended, allowing most patients to find a solution for improved vision.

Benefits of LASIK

LASIK helps eliminate the inconvenience of glasses and contact lenses—no cleaning, no storage, no constant adjustments. Imagine experiencing clear, effortless vision without all the daily hassles.

Enhanced Active Lifestyle

Enjoy sports and physical activities without worrying about glasses slipping or contacts getting in the way.

Rapid Recovery

Most patients return to normal activities, including work and driving, within a day. LASIK’s quick recovery makes it ideal for busy lifestyles.

Although LASIK requires an upfront investment, it often reduces the ongoing costs of glasses, contacts, solutions, and supplies. Flexible financing options, including CareCredit, make LASIK accessible and manageable for most.

Can I Wear Contacts Before or After LASIK?

We ask patients to remove contact lenses for a certain amount of time depending on the type of lenses and how they use them. This will be discussed while making your appointment.

How Do I Prepare For My LASIK Surgery?

Preparation tips for a smooth recovery:

Discontinue contact lens wear as instructed by our staff
Arrange transportation to and from the procedure
Plan for a restful day after your procedure
Have any required prescriptions ready before your procedure
Eat a light meal prior to the procedure unless instructed otherwise

What Should I Expect After LASIK Eye Surgery?

It’s normal to experience mild irritation, burning, or watery eyes shortly after LASIK. Resting for a few hours is important, and strenuous activity should be avoided. A long nap will help you feel comfortable and refreshed, with vision already starting to improve after waking. Follow-up care instructions include:

No driving until released by a doctor, typically within 24 hours of surgery
Using prescription eye drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection
Wearing an eye shield while sleeping for one week
Avoiding eye makeup, swimming, hot tubs, or dusty environments for one week
Not rubbing your eyes for one month
Refraining from strenuous exercise until cleared by your surgeon

Many patients notice improved vision within hours, with full results achieved over the following weeks.

LASIK Frequently Asked Questions

Does LASIK hurt?

No. LASIK is generally well tolerated. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and is performed using numbing drops and mild oral sedation. Most patients do not experience significant discomfort.

Why do I need to stop wearing contacts before LASIK?

To achieve the best results from LASIK, contact lenses must be discontinued prior to evaluation and surgery. Contact lenses can temporarily reshape the cornea, which may interfere with accurate measurements needed for precise laser treatment.

Is LASIK safe?

The FDA has approved LASIK as a safe and effective procedure. In fact, LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures available. It is important to understand that LASIK is not safe for everyone. Some people are not candidates and, if treated, could have less-than-optimal results. Always receive a thorough pre-operative evaluation with an experienced provider to determine if LASIK is right for you.

Is LASIK a permanent procedure?

One of the things that makes LASIK so attractive to patients is knowing that it’s a permanent procedure. Once you have your cornea reshaped, your vision is permanently altered. Age-related changes may still occur over time.

How soon will I see clearly after LASIK?

Many patients notice improved vision the same day. Full visual clarity usually develops within a few weeks.

LASIK Alternatives

LASIK isn’t right for everyone. We provide alternative vision correction options, including advanced laser procedures and implantable lenses, customized to fit your eyes and lifestyle. Ask your doctor which option is best for you.
