LASIK is quick and comfortable. Before surgery, we apply numbing eye drops so you feel no pain and administer a sedative to help you relax. Then, we stabilize your head and use a small device to keep your eyes open during the procedure. (You don’t have to worry about blinking during LASIK!)
The entire surgery typically takes between 10 to 15 minutes for each eye. During this time, you may experience a sensation of pressure as our surgeons use lasers to create a flap on the top layer of your cornea, reshape the cornea underneath, and then replace the flap. At Columbus Laser & Cataract Center, we use state-of-the-art lasers that are optimized for safety and precision, so you can sit back and relax as we expertly work to improve your vision.
