LASIK Co-Management for Torrance Residents
What Is LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina. This procedure can correct common vision problems like:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects
- Astigmatism: Blurred vision caused by an irregular cornea
During the procedure, a laser creates a thin flap in the cornea, which is then lifted to allow the laser to reshape the underlying tissue. The flap is repositioned, and the cornea heals naturally without stitches. Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours, with continued clarity as the eyes heal.
Ideal Candidates for LASIK Surgery
While LASIK is a highly effective procedure, it isn’t suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates typically:
- Are over 18 and have a stable vision prescription.
- Have healthy corneas and no eye conditions like keratoconus.
- Are not pregnant or nursing.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
During your pre-operative evaluation, we’ll assess your eye health, prescription stability, and overall suitability for LASIK.
