Pros & Cons of LASIK Eye Surgery in Johnson City, TN

How Does LASIK Work?

LASIK, which stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a highly effective and widely performed laser eye surgery that aims to correct common refractive errors. Understanding how LASIK works and the different types available is essential for making an informed decision about your vision correction journey.

During the LASIK procedure, our experienced ophthalmologist, Dr. Donny Reeves, utilizes advanced technology to reshape the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye. This reshaping process allows light to properly focus onto the retina, resulting in improved visual acuity without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

At Reeves Eye Surgery Center, we offer additional advanced technologies to help you achieve clearer vision and reduce your dependence on corrective eyewear.

Z-LASIK is a bladeless and all-laser LASIK procedure where the corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser. This advanced technology ensures precise and accurate corneal flap creation, which, in turn, produces safer and better results. Z-LASIK is known for its quick recovery time and minimal discomfort during the healing process.

Wavefront LASIK, also known as custom LASIK, utilizes advanced wavefront technology to create a detailed map of your eye's unique imperfections. This map guides the excimer laser in reshaping the cornea to address not only your refractive error but also subtle irregularities that may impact the quality of your vision. Wavefront offers the potential for even more precise and personalized treatment, resulting in excellent outcomes.

During your consultation with Dr. Reeves, he will carefully evaluate your eye health and assess your specific needs to determine if Z-LASIK and/or Wavefront is for you. Our state-of-the-art facility and advanced technology ensure that you receive the highest standard of care throughout the entire LASIK journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery?

During your consultation with Dr. Reeves, he will assess your eye health, refractive error, corneal thickness, and other factors to determine if LASIK is right for you. Our team will guide you through the process and provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs

How long does the LASIK procedure take? Is it painful?

The LASIK procedure itself is quick and typically takes about 15 minutes per eye. Before the procedure, anesthetic eye drops are used to make sure that you stay comfortable. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the surgery, and any discomfort usually subsides within a few days.

What is the difference between Z-LASIK and Wavefront?

Z-LASIK refers to the laser used to create the corneal flap during LASIK surgery, while Wavefront refers to a technology that creates a detailed 3D map of the eye to guide the laser during the procedure, allowing for more precise corrections. Both techniques can be used in combination for even better outcomes.
