LASIK eye surgery offers an alternative to wearing contacts or prescription glasses to correct refractive errors in your sight. LASIK surgery improves your vision by reshaping the cornea of your eye. At Legacy Optical, Hampton Bays, NY, we can evaluate your eye health and vision to determine if you’re a good candidate for LASIK treatment.

About LASIK Surgery

LASIK is a surgical procedure designed to correct problems with myopia, farsightedness, and astigmatism so you can enjoy optimal sight. People who undergo LASIK treatment no longer have to rely on glasses or contacts for quality sight. LASIK works by reshaping the cornea of your eye to allow light to filter through properly to the retina.

At Legacy Optical, we offer pre- and post-op care for LASIK, cataracts, and other eye surgery treatments. Our Hampton Bays, NY, optometrist will examine your eyes to ensure they’re in good enough health for this procedure. We’ll then check your visual clarity to assess the problems that need to be fixed. If we feel you can benefit from LASIK treatment, we’ll recommend an eye surgeon to perform your procedure.

Is LASIK Surgery Right for You?

LASIK candidates must meet certain requirements in order to qualify for this treatment. Candidates must:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Have good eye health with no pre-existing conditions or diseases
• Have good overall health with no chronic conditions that can impact the outcome of your treatment or your recovery
• Have a stable prescription for two years prior to surgery

As vision often fluctuates during pregnancy or when women are nursing, pregnant and nursing moms aren’t good candidates for this treatment.

Affordability is another aspect to consider as LASIK is considered an elective surgery that isn’t generally covered by vision or health insurance.
