LASIK Co-Management in Queensbury
At Glens Falls Vision Care, we offer comprehensive co-management services for LASIK and other refractive surgeries. Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring you receive the best care before, during, and after your procedure, helping you achieve clear, precise vision.
What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery designed to correct common vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. This procedure reshapes the cornea to improve the way light is focused onto the retina, resulting in clearer vision.
Our LASIK Co-Management Services
We work closely with top laser centers to provide seamless care throughout your LASIK journey. Our co-management services include:
Pre-Operative Evaluations: Comprehensive eye exams to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK or other refractive surgeries.
Patient Education: Detailed information about the procedure, what to expect, and how to prepare for surgery.
Post-Operative Care: Follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal results.
Benefits of LASIK & Refractive Surgery
Improved Vision: Significant reduction or elimination of the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Quick Recovery: Most patients experience improved vision within 24 hours of the procedure.
Long-Lasting Results: LASIK offers a permanent solution to many common vision problems.
Is LASIK Right for You?
Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. Our thorough pre-operative evaluation will help determine if LASIK or another refractive surgery is the best option for your vision needs.
When evaluating your needs, we consider factors like your overall eye health and corneal thickness, the stability of your prescription over the past year, and your daily activities and vision requirements.
Other Refractive Surgery Options
In addition to LASIK, we co-manage other refractive surgeries to address a variety of vision needs:
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): An alternative to LASIK for patients with thinner corneas.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A minimally invasive procedure for myopia and astigmatism.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): A reversible option for patients with high prescriptions or thin corneas.
