Dr. Steinert is so enthusiastic that he performed the refractive procedure on his wife, his son and a physician friend. A few thousand times. That friend, a short three days after his surgery, returned the favor by performing surgery on Dr. Steinert. You're saying his vision was good enough after three days to operate on you. Averaging nearly 150 Lasik surgeries per month, Dr. Steinert's waiting room is evidence of Lasik's growing popularity.
Lasik surgery is simple and fast.
Just look at the green blinking light. About 15 minutes for both eyes. It is done while the patient is awake, with just some anesthetic drops to numb the eye. The surgery is a bloodless, two-step process. First, a slice of the cornea is lifted up and, second, laser pulses.
