What is LASIK?

One of the most common elective procedures, LASIK – short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis – has helped over 10 million people achieve better vision. This safe and effective corrective eye surgery offers the ability to restore 20/25 vision or better, completely removing the lifelong need for contacts and glasses.

LASIK eye surgery is the best known and most commonly performed laser refractive surgery. LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and can be an alternative to wearing glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK surgery requires the use of a special laser and a skilled professional. At Swagel Wootton Eye Institute, our Phoenix LASIK surgery doctors will reshape the cornea, which involves removing some of your corneal tissue. This adjustment focuses the light on the retina in the back of the eye, making words, objects and images clearer. Our Phoenix LASIK surgery can provide better vision for those with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. This painless procedure typically lasts approximately 15 minutes for both eyes with immediate results and minimal recovery.

At Swagel Wootton Eye Institute our team of doctors uses the latest laser vision correction technology, including Femtosecond lasers and the Wavelight® laser suite for true bladeless LASIK as well as Contoura® and Vario testing to ensure your LASIK treatment is tailored to you and your eyes. Our Wavelight Contoura system is an FDA-approved technology known to produce the best outcomes for a unique range of patients. This equipment studies the topography of the eye, enhancing precision and allowing your surgeon to deliver custom results.
