Vision Restoration – LASIK Surgery

Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey uses precision lasers to permanently correct vision problems during your LASIK surgery. LASIK is most successful at reversing nearsightedness. Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, exists when you can see nearby objects easily but objects in the distance are fuzzy. However, the procedure can also correct farsightedness and astigmatism.

There is over a 95% satisfaction rate among patients who have had LASIK, making this one of the most sought after elective surgeries in the country. Most people who have the surgery, recover at minimum 20/25 vision, which allows them to do many daily activities without needing glasses or contact lenses. Please note that reading glasses are often needed, especially as patient’s age.

To be a candidate for LASIK surgery, you should be in good health and have no underlying eye conditions. The outpatient procedure can be completed in an afternoon, and many patients are cleared to resume driving within 24 hours. You will need to avoid wearing contact lenses for several weeks prior to your surgery, and you will need to take antibiotics and prescription eye drops afterward.

The most common complication of LASIK surgery is dry eyes. For almost all patients, this condition resolves itself within six to twelve months. You should be prepared for dry eyes during this time frame, and use the prescription eye drops that you are provided with by your surgeon. It is very important to avoid rubbing your eyes after surgery, even if they feel irritated.

If you are interested in LASIK surgery, please make an appointment with Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. During your appointment, we will give you a comprehensive eye exam to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure and provide you more information and next steps.

How LASIK Surgery Has Improved

LASIK is a popular procedure we use to reduce or eliminate reliance on glasses. With new advancements in laser technology, LASIK surgery is even better. It can now be customized based on factors other than just your eyeglasses prescription.  New measurements and enhanced lasers take into account higher order refractive errors to provide a more precise reshaping of the cornea. What does this mean for you? Patients who undergo customized LASIK surgery are even more likely to achieve a visual acuity of 20/20 after surgery when compared to those who underwent traditional LASIK. Some even attain vision better than 20/20!

Customizations in LASIK also take into account more than just your vision as it is measured in the office. Even with “perfect” vision, patients may still complain of issues like glare in bright sunlight or halos around headlights while driving at night. These are known as “higher-order aberrations” and are not taken into account with traditional LASIK. With the latest, most technologically advanced lasers, these higher order refractive errors can be corrected during your customized LASIK procedure to ensure your sharpest possible vision.

If you are considering LASIK surgery, ask us if a customized LASIK procedure might be right for you. Still wondering if LASIK is for you? Take our quiz to find out and contact Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey in Bloomfield Hills for an appointment.

What Happens During a LASIK Consultation?

If you’re thinking about having LASIK to improve your vision, you’ll first need to undergo a consultation to ensure you are a good candidate for the surgery. We first will conduct a thorough, dilated eye exam. During this exam, the overall health of your eyes will be assessed to ensure you do not have any problems that would preclude you from having LASIK.

While your eyes are dilated, we will measure your prescription in order to understand your visual potential. We will also assess the relationship between your two eyes in a binocular vision test. For optimal results after LASIK, both eyes need to be properly aligned and working together. Another screening test will be performed to gauge the quality and quantity of your tears; for patients with dry eyes, we may recommend treatment to improve your tear production before proceeding with surgery.

You will also undergo a variety of corneal measurements to ensure your cornea is a shape and thickness suitable for LASIK. If you wear contact lenses, you will need to leave them out for several weeks before corneal measurements are taken in order to ensure accurate results.

If you are considering LASIK eye surgery to improve your vision, contact the eye care specialists at Grosinger, Spigelman, and Grey in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan to set up your consultation visit. You may also visit our website and take a self-evaluation vision correction test.

Am I a Good Candidate for LASIK Surgery?

Grosinger Spigelman and Grey Perform Safe and Effective LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery for vision correction is a wonderful option for most people. However, not everyone is a good candidate. Below are some of the requirements to determine if LASIK may be the right choice for you.

  1. Your eyes are generally healthy. The most common problem that needs to be addressed prior to LASIK is dry eye. If you have problems with dryness, your symptoms may worsen after LASIK.  Other diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma can interfere with your vision – depending on their severity, LASIK may not be an option.
  2. Your cornea must be of adequate thickness. During LASIK, our surgeon will sculpt your cornea in order to correct your vision. If your cornea is too thin, this can compromise the results.
  3. Your prescription must be within certain parameters. Patients with very high refractive errors may have unpredictable results after LASIK surgery. Depending on your prescription, our LASIK surgeon may recommend a different type of treatment for your refractive error.
  4. You must be old enough. During childhood and teenage years, your vision continues to change. The FDA has approved LASIK for individuals 18 years or older.
  5. Your vision must be stable. If your vision is still changing, LASIK may not provide you with the long-term results you’re expecting.
  6. You must not be pregnant or nursing. Hormones associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause changes in the cornea. It’s recommended that patients wait several months after delivery or weaning before being assessed for LASIK.
  7. You must have good overall health. Patients with issues like uncontrolled diabetes and autoimmune diseases are at increased risk for complications from surgeries such as LASIK.

If you are interested in LASIK or another vision correction surgery, please contact Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey’s Bloomfield Hills office for an appointment. Our experienced ophthalmologists will examine your eyes to see what is best for you.
