LASIK Atlanta
Dr. M. Farooq Ashraf at the Atlanta Vision Institute is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in LASIK in Atlanta. He is dedicated to correcting vision safely and precisely by reshaping the cornea to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
LASIK is a minimally invasive refractive surgery. The process involves creating a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome blade, or with a laser, and then reshaping the corneal tissue with an excimer laser so that it can properly focus light into the eye and onto the retina.
With his extensive experience, Dr. Ashraf uses state-of-the-art equipment to improve vision within minutes! Most patients eventually enjoy 20/20 vision or better after they receive treatment. With the advanced Wavelight technology used at the Atlanta Vision Institute, over 95% of patients could see 20/20 or better one year after treatment.
LASIK, or Laser Vision Correction, is the most commonly performed elective surgery in the United States. Corrective eye surgery combines the advantages of two sophisticated technologies: the excimer laser and lamellar keratoplasty (corneal transplant). LASIK surgery performed by Dr. Ashraf at the Atlanta Vision Institute has allowed thousands of patients worldwide to enjoy clear vision without glasses or contact lenses!
LASIK offers many improvements over other refractive surgery procedures, including little or no post-operative discomfort, immediate vision improvement, and the ability to drive or return to work quickly sometimes as soon as the next day. Most patients have no need for corrective eye wear after LASIK surgery (although patients over the age of 45 often need reading glasses).
Am I a candidate for LASIK?
A consultation at the Atlanta Vision Institute is a smart choice for any patient interested in LASIK eye surgery. When you come in for an evaluation, your eyes will be examined to determine whether LASIK or another type of laser eye surgery is appropriate for you, and whether you are at risk for any potential complications.
The ideal LASIK candidate:
- Is over 18 years old;
- Has had stable vision for at least one year;
- Has a healthy cornea thick enough for a flap;
- Has refractive error(s) that fall within the treatable range;
- Does not have a disease or condition that could impair the procedure or healing process;
- Has been educated about the procedure including its risks and benefits;
- Understands that the goal of surgery is to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
During your consultation, Dr. Ashraf will review your eyesight and discuss whether LASIK is right for you.
