Serving Centennial and Denver — Our Skilled LASIK Surgeons Provide Outstanding Results
At Spivack Vision Center, we want to make sure patients are fully prepared on the day of their LASIK surgery. Providing quality laser vision correction treatments to Colorado residents of the Centennial and Denver areas, our experienced LASIK surgeons take the time to guide patients through the surgical process and address all of their questions and concerns. Patients who understand the LASIK process, as well as its benefits and risks, and who maintain realistic expectations have the most successful results.
What to Expect on the Day of LASIK Surgery
Before Surgery
On the day of your LASIK surgery, you should arrive at our practice a couple of hours before the scheduled procedure. It is important that you show up with a designated driver because you will not be able to drive after the procedure. You will be offered a sedative to help you relax while being prepared for surgery. The area around your eyes is cleaned, and sterile, anesthetic eye drops are administered to help numb them. An eyelid holder, which prevents you from blinking during the procedure, will be used after your eyes have been completely numbed. You will be very comfortable and your surgeon will continue to use numbing drops during your procedure.
During Surgery
During the procedure, our LASIK surgeon makes a flap on the cornea using either a microkeratome blade or, in a Blade-free LASIK procedure, with the iFS™ IntraLase® laser. After the flap is created and pulled back, you will be asked to focus on a light while an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea. The entire process usually takes less than a few minutes. After the cornea is reshaped, the corneal flap is repositioned. The flap will bond to the eye in a matter of seconds — without the use of stitches.
After Surgery
When the LASIK procedure is complete, the surgeon uses a microscope to examine your eyes. Next, you will be given additional eye drops and a shield is placed over your eyes for protection. You should relax for the remainder of the day. You may experience sensitivity to light, swelling, watering, and discomfort in their eyes, which can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication. You will be asked to return for a follow-up examination the day after surgery. After the follow-up exam, most patients are able to resume their normal activities.
