Our Testimonials
What To Expect During A LASIK Consultation
Determining if you’re a candidate for LASIK is a careful, multi-step process. At your consultation, our team will thoroughly evaluate your eye health and educate you on your vision correction options so you can make an informed decision.
The evaluation includes measuring your vision, assessing corneal thickness, dryness, retina, and reviewing your overall medical and ocular history. Advanced corneal mapping technology is used to create a detailed, personalized “fingerprint” of your vision—far more precise than standard glasses.
Our experienced team will guide you through every step of your visit, from the diagnostic testing to a tour of our surgical suite and recovery area. After reviewing your test results, your surgeon or a member of our medical staff will determine if LASIK is the right option for you.
At Abraham Eye Center, we’re committed to answering all your questions and helping you feel confident about your care—from what to expect on surgery day to when you’ll start seeing clearly. Our goal is simple: to give you the best vision possible.
What Is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK is micro-surgery performed by a surgeon with a laser, which reshapes the cornea and thus changes the patient’s vision. Correctly performed, LASIK eye surgery can correct the most common forms of vision impairment—myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
During LASIK eye surgery, a thin layer of tissue is folded back from the surface of the cornea. After the laser reshapes the cornea, the tissue is folded back into place, where it bonds quickly. The entire procedure is performed using state-of-the-art surgical lasers, so there are no scalpels, stitches, or needles. Healing for most patients is fast, and many return to work the next day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is LASIK surgery painful?
Most patients find the procedure to be quick and virtually painless, as numbing drops are used to ensure comfort throughout the process.
How long does the LASIK procedure take?
The time in surgery is typically 3 to 5 minutes per eye, making it a very efficient outpatient procedure.
What is the recovery time after LASIK?
Healing for most patients is so fast that vision improves within hours of the procedure, and many return to normal activities the next day.
Am I a good candidate for LASIK?
A thorough evaluation of your corneal thickness and overall eye health is required to determine if LASIK is the best option for your vision.
Will I still need glasses after LASIK?
The goal of LASIK is to provide clear vision at all distances, significantly reducing or even eliminating the need for glasses or contacts.
My patients go back to normal life the day after their surgery, going to work, wearing make-up, whatever they need to do, and there’s just incredible excitement and joy. It’s what makes doing this so incredible for me, because people come in fearful and leave ecstatic.
