1. What is Laser Vision Correction?
   Laser Vision Correction is an outpatient treatment that uses a cool beam of light to gently reshape the surface of the eye--the cornea--thereby improving vision.
   
   
   
2. What are the Benefits of Laser Vision Correction?
   Laser vision correction for nearsightedness and astigmatism is designed to be a onetime treatment that should reduce the condition overall, while also reducing or eliminating your dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
   
   
   
3. Is Laser Vision Correction Safe?
   Yes. Over one million patients worldwide have had this treatment performed on them successfully. The FDA has approved laser vision correction for nearsightedness and astigmatism, and found the treatment safe and effective for eligible patients.
   
   
   
4. Does Laser Vision Correction Hurt?
   No, the treatment itself is painless. Some patients experience discomfort for one to three days after treatment. Many patients compare this to a sensation of sand in the eye. Your doctor can prescribe pain medication to alleviate any discomfort during the recovery.
   
   
   
5. Do I have to Wait For My Regular Eye Exam?
   No. You can have laser vision correction as soon as you're ready and eligible to do it. You can ask your eye care professional about laser vision correction any time.
   
   
   
6. What Happens before Treatment?
   Your eye care professional will conduct a thorough examination to determine whether your eyes are healthy and suitable for the laser procedure. Your eye will be photographed and a computerized map made, called a corneal topography. This will assess the shape of your cornea, and is one of the many diagnostic tests the doctor uses to help ensure precise results.
