Who Is a Good Candidate for LASIK Near Wilmington, NC?

Patients with healthy eyes, normal corneas, and a stable prescription are most likely good candidates for LASIK laser surgery. During your free consultation at our Wilmington, NC office, as your eye doctor, Dr. Johnson will personally evaluate your eyes to determine if LASIK is right for you.

What Vision Problems Does LASIK Fix?

LASIK corrects a broad range of refractive errors, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and, yes, it corrects astigmatism too! Most Wilmington-area patients who come in thinking they can’t have LASIK discover they are excellent candidates.

How Does LASIK Eye Surgery Work?

Two advanced lasers are used: the first gently and painlessly creates a flap in the corneal tissue, and the second precisely reshapes your cornea to correct your prescription. The entire procedure takes less than 15 minutes at our outpatient surgery center, and most Wilmington patients are back to their daily routine within 24 hours.
