JourneyLASIK Surgery
After you’ve had your LASIK consultation and it’s been determined that you’re a candidate, your personalized treatment plan will be created and you will meet with our surgical coordinator. The LASIK surgery usually only takes 10-15 minutes for both eyes, and after a few hours of blurriness, most patients are thrilled to discover that they have 20/20 vision or better.
