What is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a precise laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct common vision problems, like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure works by creating a thin corneal flap, then using a laser to reshape the inner cornea tissue, and repositioning the flap to heal naturally. Most patients are able to experience dramatically improved vision within 24 hours.

Our Advanced Technology

Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction is committed to offering the safest, most precise LASIK technology available. We use an all-laser, bladeless approach that includes:

iDesign 2 Advanced WaveScan Technology

This cutting-edge diagnostic system creates a detailed 3D map of your eye, capturing over 1,200 micro-measurements. This personalized data guides your treatment with unprecedented precision, addressing even the subtle imperfections that can affect your vision quality.

Alcon Wavelight Pro

An advanced laser vision correction system that combines high-precision and accurate lasers to perform customized LASIK procedures. It’s designed for speed, safety, and personalization - creating precise corneal flaps, delivering efficient treatments, and tailoring each procedure to the patient’s eye for clearer, sharper vision with minimal downtime.

Bladeless, All-Laser LASIK

Unlike traditional LASIK, which uses a mechanical blade to create the corneal flap, our bladeless approach uses a femtosecond laser for this critical step. This laser technology offers enhanced precision, consistency, and safety, creating flaps with accuracy. The result is a truly all-laser procedure from start to finish.

Benefits of Choosing Advanced LASIK

Enhanced Safety
Computer-controlled lasers eliminate the unpredictability of handheld mechanical devices, significantly reducing the risk of flap-related complications.

Greater Precision
The femtosecond laser creates corneal flaps with unmatched consistency and accuracy. This precision is especially important for patients with thinner corneas who may not have been candidates for traditional LASIK.

Faster Healing
The gentle laser approach promotes quicker recovery, with most patients returning to normal activities within a day or two.

What To Expect During Your LASIK Journey

LASIK Consultation

Your LASIK journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we'll evaluate your eye health, measure your prescription, and determine if you're a good candidate for the procedure. If your eye doctor determines that LASIK is right for you, you’ll be able to schedule your procedure.

The LASIK Procedure

On the day of your procedure, you'll receive numbing drops to ensure your comfort. During LASIK, most patients describe feeling only mild pressure, with no pain during the treatment.

The laser portion typically takes less than a minute per eye. LASIK is a two-step procedure that combines precision laser technology with your eye's natural healing ability.

First, your LASIK surgeon will create a thin protective flap in the cornea's surface using our advanced femtosecond laser. This flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.

Next, the WaveLight Plus excimer laser, pre-programmed with your unique prescription based on your measurements, reshapes the cornea with ultraviolet light pulses. This precise sculpting corrects the curvature of your cornea, allowing light to focus properly on your retina.

Finally, the flap is repositioned, where it bonds naturally without stitches, typically within just a few minutes.

LASIK Recovery

After your procedure, you'll rest briefly before heading home. Most patients notice improved vision within hours, with continued improvement over the following days and weeks.

LASIK recovery is remarkably quick compared to many surgical procedures. Immediately after treatment, your eyes may feel irritated or watery, and your vision might be somewhat blurry or hazy. These symptoms typically improve within a few hours.

By the next morning, most patients experience dramatic improvement. You'll use prescribed eye drops for about a week to prevent infection and promote healing.

Your eye doctor will see you for follow-up visits to monitor your progress. Most restrictions on activities are lifted within the first week, though you should avoid swimming and contact sports for a few weeks.

Is LASIK Right For You?

Good candidates for LASIK typically:

  • Are at least 18-21 years old with a stable prescription
  • Have healthy eyes free from disease or infection
  • Have adequate corneal thickness
  • Are not pregnant or nursing
  • Have realistic expectations about outcomes

The only way to know for certain if you're a candidate is through a comprehensive eye examination. Schedule your complimentary consultation today to discover if LASIK can give you the clear vision you've been dreaming of.

Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK

A: Yes. The lasers and technology we use at Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction are FDA-approved for vision correction procedures.

A: The actual laser treatment takes less than 15 minutes for both eyes. Depending on your prescription and the amount of correction needed, the laser application itself only takes 20-50 seconds per eye. However, you should plan on being in our office for approximately an hour to allow time for preparation and post-procedure instructions.

A: No, the procedure itself is not painful. We use numbing eye drops to completely numb your eyes before treatment. You may feel slight pressure during the flap creation, but this is not painful. After the procedure, some patients describe a sensation similar to wearing a contact lens that doesn’t fit quite right, which typically lasts just a few hours. Most patients don’t require anything stronger than over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol.

A: One of the most exciting aspects of LASIK is how quickly vision improves. The vast majority of our patients achieve clearer vision by the next day. While everyone heals at their own pace, most people notice dramatic improvement within the first 24 hours, with vision continuing to stabilize over the following weeks. Your final result may take anywhere from one week to several weeks to fully develop.

A: LASIK is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some patients experience a “foreign body sensation” for the first day or two, similar to having an eyelash in your eye. You may notice increased light sensitivity, glare, or halos around bright lights for a few days as your eyes heal. Some patients need a brief adjustment period for close-up or reading vision. These effects typically resolve as healing progresses. Serious complications are rare, and we’ll monitor your healing closely to ensure the best outcome.

A: No, you’ll need to arrange for someone to drive you home after your procedure. We provide a mild sedative for some patients to help them relax during the procedure, which makes it unsafe to drive. Additionally, while some patients have good vision immediately after LASIK, everyone responds differently, and your vision may be blurry initially.

A: Our patients will need to visit their optometrist or surgeon for a one day follow up before returning to work.

A: In most cases, yes. We typically treat both eyes during the same appointment. Since LASIK offers rapid visual recovery and minimal discomfort, most patients prefer the convenience of having both eyes corrected at once. However, this decision is always made individually based on your specific situation and comfort level during your consultation with the doctor.

A: There is no strict maximum age limit for LASIK. However, candidacy depends on your overall eye health rather than your age. Before proceeding, we need to ensure your eyes are healthy and that your vision problems aren’t being caused or complicated by cataracts or other age-related conditions. Many people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond successfully undergo LASIK when their eyes are healthy.

A: Bladeless LASIK significantly enhances safety through superior precision and consistency. In traditional LASIK, a handheld mechanical blade (microkeratome) creates the corneal flap, which can be somewhat unpredictable in its performance. Our bladeless approach uses a computer-controlled femtosecond laser to create flaps with a level of precision impossible with manual instruments. This consistency reduces the risk of flap-related complications and provides greater stability during healing.

A: Traditional LASIK has been successfully performed for decades and has a good safety record. However, bladeless all-laser LASIK represents an advancement that reduces many of the risks associated with the mechanical blade used in traditional approaches. At Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction, we believe in offering our patients the safest, most advanced technology available. That’s why we’ve invested in bladeless LASIK technology for all our patients.

A: It’s natural to want to understand the risks before any surgical procedure. The good news is that LASIK has an excellent safety profile. The procedure itself is computer-controlled and performed in a sterile environment with numerous safety measures in place.

The most serious concern would be a corneal infection, but this is extremely rare. We minimize this risk through strict sterile protocols, antibiotic eye drops after your procedure, and careful follow-up examinations.

Other potential complications are listed in detail on our informed consent documentation, which we’ll review thoroughly with you. The FDA has reviewed extensive clinical data and approved these lasers as safe and effective for treating vision errors. Your eye doctor will be happy to discuss any specific concerns you may have during your consultation.

A: For most patients, LASIK provides permanent vision correction. The reshaping of your cornea is permanent, and the improvements you achieve typically last for decades.

However, LASIK doesn’t prevent age-related vision changes that affect everyone eventually, such as presbyopia (difficulty with close-up vision typically beginning in the mid-40s) or cataracts. Some patients may experience minor prescription changes over many years and might choose an enhancement procedure, though this is not common.
