Choosing the Right Arizona LASIK Eye Surgery Provider
Nationwide Vision Partners with Desert Vista Eye Specialists For LASIK Eye Surgery
Wearing prescription glasses or contact lenses can effectively correct your vision, but they can also become a burden. If you are looking for a convenient, hassle-free solution, LASIK eye surgery may be the solution you're looking for. Instead of putting in contacts every morning or searching for your glasses, LASIK uses a precise laser to correct your vision for the long-haul.
Nationwide Vision partners with the expert team of LASIK surgeons at Desert Vista Eye Specialists. They have undergone rigorous training and have ample experience helping patients in Arizona achieve clear eyesight. With the latest laser vision correction technology, you can ditch your glasses or contacts and restore your vision.
What Does LASIK Surgery Treat?
LASIK is used to correct three of the most common types of refractive errors:
Astigmatism: The eye's cornea or lens is curved more steeply in one direction than the other, causing incoming light to focus at multiple points instead of a single sharp point on the retina. This leads to blurred or distorted vision at all distances and can make lights appear streaky.
Nearsightedness (Myopia): The eye is either too long front-to-back or its cornea bens light too strongly, so light rays focus in front of the retina. Distant objects look blurry, while close-up objects remain clear.
Farsightedness (Hyperopia): The eye is too short or its cornea bends light too weakly, causing light rays to focus behind the retina. Nearby objects appear blurry and require extra effort to see clearly, while distance vision is clear.
For many patients, laser vision correction reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or glasses anymore. While LASIK eye surgery can't prevent the natural aging of the lens that comes with presbyopia, a LASIK procedure called Monovision may help alleviate symptoms. A Monovision procedure will correct one eye for nearsightedness and the other for farsightedness to help balance the effects of presbyopia. Some patients report that they do not need to use reading glasses after the procedure. If you are beginning to notice signs of age-related refractive errors, ask Nationwide Vision if Monovision is right for you.
How Do You Qualify for LASIK Surgery?
While many people can enjoy the benefits of LASIK eye surgery, there are some conditions it doesn't treat. In some cases, undergoing LASIK with other eye diseases can lead to complications and side effects. The ideal LASIK candidate:
Is 18 or older
Has stable vision (no changes to your prescription in a year or more)
Has good overall eye health and normal-shaped irises
Has refractive errors that fall within the treatable range
The most common reason someone may not qualify for LASIK is because their prescription is too high for LASIK to be effective. Other reasons may include autoimmune disease, thin corneas, dry eye, or other eye disease. If you have dry eye syndrome or thin corneas, you can still get laser vision correction through PRK, a similar refractive surgery. To find out if LASIK or PRK is the right option for you, schedule a comprehensive eye exam at a Nationwide Vision location and discuss your vision goals with an optometrist.
