What Is LASIK?

LASIK is a quick and precise procedure that uses advanced laser technology to reshape your cornea, fixing common vision problems like:

  • Nearsightedness (Myopia)
  • Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
  • Astigmatism

With robotics & computer-guided precision, LASIK is completed in under 1 minute per eye, offering life-changing results with minimal downtime.

How LASIK Will Improve Your Life

With LASIK, you’ll enjoy:

  • Freedom from Glasses and Contacts: See the world clearly, without the daily hassle.

  • Lifestyle Freedom: From sports to swimming, LASIK gives you the freedom to enjoy activities without worrying about your lenses.

  • Sharper Vision: Many achieve 20/20 vision—and often better (Yes, that exists).
  • Quick Recovery: Most people return to work and normal routines the very next day.
  • Confidence Boost: Feel great about how you look and live without glasses.
  • Fast, Painless Treatment: The procedure is so quick it leaves our customers saying: “Is that it? I didn’t even feel a thing”.
  • Substantial savings over time: Enjoy years of sharp vision without the ongoing cost or hassle of contact lenses or glasses.

“As someone who never was able to see clearly, this was life changing for me. I definitely recommend this place as a great corrective eye surgery option.” – Farah

What If LASIK Isn’t Right for Me?

LASIK isn’t the best fit for everyone, and there are a few reasons it might not work for you—such as having a thin cornea (the part of the eye that’s reshaped during the procedure).

But don’t worry—unlike many other providers, we can still help because we offer other procedures like, EVO ICL, SMILE, PRK, and Custom Lens Replacement.

Not sure what these procedures are? No problem.

During your free consultation, our expert doctors will walk you through each option and recommend the one that’s safest and most effective for your unique vision needs.

We believe everyone deserves the chance to see life clearly—and we’re here to find the perfect solution for you.

Our State-of-The-Art Pre-Screening Process

We go beyond industry standards to provide the most comprehensive and precise evaluation, giving you peace of mind before you even step into the procedure room.

1. Whole Cornea Imaging: A Complete Picture of Your Eye

First we take pictures of your entire cornea.

Old technology that only examines the curvature of the cornea’s front surface leaves out critical details that could impact your safety and results.

That’s why we use an advanced process called Whole Cornea Imaging to provide the most thorough and accurate assessment possible.

This advanced imaging allows us to:

  • Detect subtle irregularities that other machines can’t see.
  • Make highly accurate recommendations for whether LASIK is the right option for you.

Our process is quick, painless and highly accurate. It takes just a few seconds per eye, and gives us the confidence to ensure your safety and vision success.

2. Advanced ‘Hot Spot’ Detection

We use a process called Epithelial Thickness Mapping to further maximize your safety.

This allows us to:

  • Detect early signs of conditions that could make LASIK unsuitable.
  • Ensure the procedure we recommend is safe and perfectly tailored to your eyes.

We were the first in Orlando to offer this.

The best part? The process is quick, easy, and completely pain-free—And once you’re seated it only takes seconds to capture the images.

3. Comprehensive Eye Exam with Our Doctors

Next our Doctors conduct a full eye exam. Here’s what we check:

  • Surface of the eye: We assess for any signs of moderate or severe dryness that could affect healing or results.

  • Natural lens: We examine your lens to ensure it’s clear and free from early signs of cataracts.

  • Eye health: We rule out conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis (eye inflammation), and other potential issues that could impact your candidacy.

  • Best procedure for you: If there’s a procedure better suited to your needs than LASIK, we’ll let you know.

Our goal is to uncover any potential issues that might have been missed during initial screenings, so you can move forward with absolute confidence.

Step 3: Perfecting your vision

Next you’ll go to the LASIK suite, and be ready for a quick procedure. It’s over in seconds but the Doctor will walk you through every step with empathy and care.

The process:

We start by gently creating a corneal flap. This may sound scary, but it’s a fast process lasting only 10-15 seconds and you feel no pain. It’s performed with light waves which you don’t feel at all.

Then – in an average of 10 seconds per eye – the laser light painlessly reshapes the cornea, correcting your vision.

You’ll stay completely comfortable during both steps, and it’s over in moments—bringing you one step closer to a life without glasses.

Most patients notice an immediate improvement in their vision, and can immediately read the clock from across the room.
