LASIK Consultation & Co-Management

Are you tired of fumbling around for your glasses in the morning or dealing with the hassle of contact lenses? If so, you may want to consider LASIK surgery. This popular procedure has helped many people improve their vision and reduce or even eliminate their need for glasses or contact lenses. At Mad River Eye Care, we offer LASIK eye surgery consultations in Waitsfield, Vermont to help you decide if LASIK or another refractive eye surgery is the best option for you.  

What is refractive eye surgery?

There are several types of refractive eye surgery available, including PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) and LASEK (laser epithelial keratomileusis). LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) tends to be the most popular choice among patients due to its quick recovery times. This procedure uses a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

What to expect during your LASIK consultation

During your consultation for LASIK or refractive eye surgery, our eye doctor will conduct a thorough examination of your eyes to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery. This may include measuring your corneal thickness, assessing your prescription, and evaluating the overall health of your eyes. He will also take the time to explain the procedure in detail, including risks and benefits, and answer any questions you may have.

If you are a good candidate for surgery, we will refer you to a trusted surgeon in the Central Vermont area who specializes in LASIK or refractive eye surgeries. We work closely with these surgeons to ensure that you receive the best possible care before, during, and after your procedure. Once your surgery is complete, our eye doctor will provide post-operative care to monitor your progress and ensure that your eyes are healing properly.
