What Is LASIK?
LASIK eye surgery is a popular and effective way to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our experienced ophthalmologists use a laser to reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus properly on the retina. Patients notice significantly clearer vision within just a few days of treatment.

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.
The LASIK Procedure
We use the Alcon Refractive Suite, the fastest and most technologically advanced laser system in The United States. The Wavelight FS200 femtosecond laser creates a customized and precise corneal flap. The Wavelight EX500 excimer laser is then gently applied to remove a precise amount of tissue from the cornea. The flap is then placed back down, where it's left to heal on its own.

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.
