LASIK & Refractive Surgery Co-Management in Dallas

Wish you could see the world more clearly without having to rely on your glasses or contact lenses?

Refractive eye surgery may be the perfect solution for you!

With LASIK, you'll enjoy clear vision, all day, everyday — without any need for corrective eyewear.

Have any of the following?

• Myopia/nearsightedness – difficulty seeing faraway objects
• Hyperopia/farsightedness – difficulty seeing near objects
• Astigmatism – blurred perception of near and far objects

Gone are the days of foggy, rain-speckled lenses. LASIK will give you the clear vision you desire and the confidence you deserve.

LASIK and other refractive surgeries are delicate, and it can all feel overwhelming. That's why we work together with the eye surgeon to provide you with the best outcome in the most efficient manner.

We'll provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision and determine whether you're a candidate for refractive eye surgery. If so, we'll refer you to the ophthalmologist for surgery. Following surgery, we'll provide post-operative care to make sure you maintain healthy, clear vision.

Getting co-managed for LASIK and other refractive surgeries is an advantage, as you benefit from the expertise of two medical experts who work together to provide you with the best eye surgery results possible.

Contact AEG Vision in Dallas to schedule a consultation and find out if LASIK (or other refractive surgeries) is right for you.

Have trouble seeing near or far away? The source of the problem may be the curvature of your cornea. An irregular corneal shape affects the way light hits the retina – which sends visual signals to the brain.

LASIK and other refractive surgeries change the shape of your cornea to offer you clear vision, without the need for contacts and glasses. After the surgery, you'll be able to swim, shower and play sports without a second thought about your eyesight.

• Highly effective

  There is a reason LASIK is so popular – 96% of patients report satisfaction after this procedure.

• Works quickly

  You may see results from LASIK or other refractive surgery quickly – sometimes as soon as a day or two after the treatment.

• Minimal discomfort

  You are unlikely to feel any pain during the procedure thanks to the numbing drops. Also, you won't need stitches or bandages after surgery.

• Quick recovery time

  Compared to other eye surgeries, LASIK has a relatively quick recovery time. Although the speed varies from patient to patient, you may feel like yourself again in as little as 6 to 12 hours.

• Stop wearing contact lenses – your eye doctor will tell you how soon before surgery to wear glasses instead of contacts.
• Understand the procedure – talk to your eye doctor about what to expect.
• Arrange a ride – you won't be able to drive home from the clinic, so coordinate with a friend or relative.
• Arrive with a fresh, clean face – don't apply eye makeup and avoid wearing heavy lotions or perfumes before the procedure.

• The eye surgeon will apply numbing drops to your eye.
• They will keep your eyes open with a device.
• The eye surgeon will make a small flap in the surface of your cornea with a laser or microkeratome – a precision surgical instrument.
• You will look directly at a light while the eye surgeon reshapes your cornea.
• The surgeon will place the flap back in place so it can heal.

• Apply eye drops as directed by your eye doctor.
• Rest your eyes as much as possible in the ensuing days.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes.
• You may return to your regular activities including driving, after a few days.
• Go to all post-operative eye examinations.
• You may experience blurry vision after surgery. This should go away, but if it persists after several months, discuss it with your AEG Vision eye doctor.

Say goodbye to blurred vision, once and for all
