Preparing for Your Fall LASIK Procedure

At Campus Eye Group, we understand that preparing for LASIK can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about preparing for your LASIK procedure.

Understanding LASIK

LASIK, which stands for laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is an FDA-approved procedure that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This revolutionary eye surgery reshapes the cornea using precise laser technology, allowing patients to achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Benefits of LASIK Surgery

LASIK offers numerous advantages for those seeking vision correction:

• Quick procedure: The surgery takes only about 5 minutes per eye.
• Immediate results: Most patients experience improved vision instantly.
• Painless: There is typically no discomfort during or after the procedure.
• Long-lasting results: LASIK provides permanent vision correction.

Preparing for Your LASIK Procedure

Determining Candidacy

Before scheduling your LASIK procedure, it’s essential to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. Ideal candidates for LASIK should:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have healthy eyes
• Possess adequate corneal thickness
• Have stable vision for at least one year

To confirm your eligibility, schedule a comprehensive eye exam with Campus Eye Group. Our experienced ophthalmologists will assess your eye health and discuss your vision correction goals.

Pre-Operative Steps

Once you’ve been approved for LASIK surgery, follow these steps to prepare for your procedure:

• Stop wearing contact lenses: Switch to glasses for at least two weeks before your surgery to allow your corneas to return to their natural shape.
• Arrange transportation: You won’t be able to drive immediately after the procedure, so make sure you have a ride home.
• Take time off work: Plan to take a day or two off work to rest and recover.
• Stock up on eye drops: Purchase artificial tears to keep your eyes lubricated during recovery.
• Avoid makeup and lotions: On the day of your procedure, come with a clean face free of cosmetics and skincare products.

LASIK at Campus Eye Group

At Campus Eye Group, we use advanced Z-LASIK technology for optimal results. This “bladeless LASIK” technique utilizes a femtosecond laser to create an ultra-thin corneal flap with unparalleled precision.

During the Procedure

• Your eyes will be numbed with anesthetic drops.
• The Z-LASIK laser will create a thin flap in your cornea.
• An excimer laser will reshape your cornea to correct your vision.
• The flap will be repositioned, acting as a natural bandage.

Post-LASIK Care

After your LASIK procedure in Hamilton, NJ, follow these tips for a smooth recovery:

• Rest your eyes for the first 24 hours
• Use prescribed eye drops as directed
• Wear protective eyewear while sleeping for the first week
• Avoid rubbing your eyes
• Attend all follow-up appointments

Most patients can return to work and do normal activities within a day or two after LASIK. However, avoid swimming, hot tubs, and contact sports for at least two weeks.
