LASIK Eye Surgery — How It Works

LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea to correct how light focuses on the retina — reducing or eliminating dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

Each eye takes only minutes to treat. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Many notice significantly sharper vision within 24 hours — and return to normal daily activities the following day.
👓
Refractive Condition 01
Myopia
(Nearsightedness)

Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly. LASIK reshapes the cornea to bring distant vision into sharp, consistent focus — eliminating the need for distance glasses or contact lenses.

📖
Refractive Condition 02
Hyperopia
(Farsightedness)

Difficulty focusing on nearby objects. LASIK corrects the corneal curvature to improve near focus clarity and reduce dependence on reading glasses for daily tasks.

🔭
Refractive Condition 03
Astigmatism
(Irregular Corneal Curvature)

Irregular corneal curvature causing blurred vision at all distances. LASIK precisely evens the corneal surface to deliver consistent, clear vision at every range.

Minutes per eye
The LASIK procedure itself takes only minutes per eye from start to finish using FDA-approved laser technology. Most patients are in and out of the surgical center within a few hours.
👁
Sharper vision within 24 hours
Most patients notice significantly clearer vision within 24 hours of their procedure. Full corneal stabilization typically occurs over several weeks as the cornea settles into its new shape.

LASIK Candidacy

Are You a LASIK Candidate?

Strong LASIK Candidates typically have:
Stable eye prescription for at least 12 consecutive months with no significant changes
Adequate corneal thickness to safely support the reshaping process
No active eye disease, infection, or uncontrolled ocular conditions
No significant history of severe dry eye or progressive corneal disorder
Realistic expectations about outcomes and potential risks of the procedure
📅 Book Your Candidacy Evaluation
Factors that may affect your candidacy:
💧
Dry Eyes
Can worsen post-surgery and slow healing. Explore our dry eye treatment options before pursuing candidacy.
🔬
Thin Cornea
Insufficient corneal tissue to safely support the reshaping process.
👁
Active Glaucoma or Elevated Eye Pressure
Glaucoma screening required before any LASIK evaluation can proceed.
📋
Prescription Still Changing
Active prescription changes may need more time before evaluation is appropriate.
Extreme Refractive Errors
Very high prescriptions may exceed the safe treatable range for LASIK.
💡 Not a LASIK candidate?

PRK or an implantable lens correction procedure may deliver the same vision correction results through a different approach. Our team explains every available option clearly before you make any decision.

What to Expect

Your LASIK Consultation in The Woodlands
— What to Expect

A comprehensive, multi-step evaluation. Not a rushed appointment. Here is exactly what happens at our Woodlands office.

1
📋
Comprehensive Eye Exam

Visual acuity, current prescription, and full eye health screening. Eye dilation included where needed for a clear, unobstructed view of internal eye structures.

2
🔬
Corneal Mapping & Measurement

Advanced topographic mapping of corneal curvature, thickness, and surface regularity. Includes intraocular pressure testing to rule out pressure-related concerns before any surgical referral.

3
🖥
Retinal Health Screening

Retinal fundus imaging confirms the health of your retina and optic structures before any surgical referral is made. Early findings here protect your surgical outcome and long-term vision.

4
💧
Dry Eye Evaluation

Tear film and eyelid function assessed in every consultation — never skipped. Unmanaged dryness affects both the surgery process and post-surgery healing. Significant findings referred to our dedicated dry eye program.

5
👁
Visual Field Assessment

For patients with elevated risk factors or a history of vision abnormalities. Confirms normal peripheral vision is functioning — an important baseline to establish before any refractive procedure.

6
Results & Decision Support

All results explained in plain language before you leave. Candidacy findings, all vision correction options, LASIK cost, potential risks, and pre- and post-operative care reviewed in full. No surprises. No pressure.

💡
Before your visit: Bring your current glasses or contacts, any prior eye care records, and a list of current medications. Contact lens wearers — stop wearing soft lenses 5–7 days before your evaluation so your cornea returns to its natural shape for accurate measurements.
⏱ Total visit: 60–90 minutes 👓 Stop contacts 5–7 days before 🔬 6 assessments in one visit 📅 Same-week often available
