What is LASIK Eye Surgery?

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By improving how light focuses on the retina, LASIK can eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is safe, effective, and frequently performed by experienced ophthalmologists like Dr. Wu at One EyeCare LASIK.

How much does LASIK eye surgery cost in 2025?

The cost of LASIK eye surgery in 2025 can vary depending on several factors, including the age of the technology used (2014 laser versus 2024 laser), the surgeon’s expertise, and the location of the procedure. Low cost LASIK usually uses older technology. On average, patients can expect to pay between $2,000 and $3,000 per eye. While this estimate provides a general range, personalized consultation with Dr. Wu can give you a more accurate idea based on your unique needs and the specific services provided.

It is also worth considering that LASIK can lead to long-term savings by reducing or eliminating the need for glasses, contacts, and associated maintenance costs over time.

How does LASIK eye surgery work?

LASIK is a quick outpatient procedure that typically takes about 15 minutes per eye. Here’s an overview of the process:

Preparation: The eye is numbed with drops to ensure comfort.
Creating a Flap: A thin, precise flap is created on the cornea using a femtosecond laser.
Reshaping the Cornea: An excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea based on your specific vision correction needs.
Repositioning the Flap: The corneal flap is carefully placed back into position, where it heals naturally without the need for stitches.

Patients often notice improved vision within a day, with optimal results achieved in a few weeks.

What is recovery like after LASIK?

Recovery from LASIK is typically smooth and straightforward. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and are able to return to normal activities within a day or two. To ensure optimal healing:

Avoid rubbing your eyes.
Use prescribed eye drops to prevent dryness and infection.
Attend follow-up appointments with Dr. Wu to monitor your progress.

Many patients report dramatic improvements in their vision shortly after surgery, with ongoing refinement as the eyes heal completely.

Am I a good candidate for LASIK?

Ideal candidates for LASIK are adults at least 18 years old with stable prescriptions, healthy eyes, and no contraindications such as corneal disease or scarring. However, if you’re not a candidate for LASIK, alternative treatments like SMILE or EVO ICL may be better options for vision correction. Dr. Wu can help you determine the best option for achieving your vision goals.

LASIK eye surgery continues to be a reliable and safe solution for those seeking clear vision and freedom from corrective lenses. To learn more about the procedure, costs, and candidacy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Wu at One Eyecare LASIK today.
