If you have allergies, then you know allergies can be particularly annoying to contact lens wearers. In the past many people had to quit wearing their lenses during the allergy season.

Laser Vision Correction
Many people are interested in LASIK. Here is a brief description of the procedure:
A flap is created in the cornea and then the flap is gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea, much like a contact lens forms a new shape on the cornea, only the laser is permanent. The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage.
The most incredible effect of Lasik is the very rapid recovery of vision and the decreased level of discomfort post-operatively. People often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. Most people have functional vision in 24-48 hours (each person will heal at a different rate). Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, continues to improve for some weeks, even months.
Everyone’s eyes are different and LASIK may or may not be right for you. If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to assist you in picking the right surgeon, procedure and laser appropriate for you. The communication between your optometrist and your eye surgeon is crucial and can make the difference between a successful LASIK result and a mediocre one.
