Affordable LASIK Treatment Center South Florida

LASIK has quickly become the procedure of choice for most patients because they recover quickly and have fewer side effects and complications than with other methods of vision correction.

One of the most popular ways to correct vision is with a procedure called LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis), which uses an excimer laser to change the curvature of the cornea (outer window of the eye).

Most LASIK patients notice a significant improvement in their vision soon after surgery. Our LASIK center can remove tissue within the cornea to treat low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. Nearsightedness develops in eyes that focus images in front of the retina instead of on the retina, which causes blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball becomes too long and prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. An abnormal shape of the cornea or lens can also cause nearsightedness.

Farsightedness or hyperopia is a vision condition in which distant objects are usually seen clearly, but close ones do not come into proper focus. 

Farsightedness occurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is not focused correctly.

Astigmatism is a vision condition that causes blurred vision due either to the irregular shape of the cornea, the transparent front cover of the eye, or sometimes the curvature of the lens inside the eye. An irregular shaped cornea or lens prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye. As a result, vision becomes blurred at any distance.

Refractive surgery is the term used to describe a procedure to correct common vision ailments, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Laser systems known as LASIK treat these ailments efficiently and promptly, reducing your dependence on prescription glasses or contact lenses. LASIK is the most popular refractive surgery in the entire country.

Your eye surgeon will use the surgical tool known as a microkeratome or femtosecond laser to create a circular incision in your cornea. This incision is then folded back, allowing the surgeon to access the corneal tissue with an excimer laser. For nearsighted people, the goal is to flatten the cornea; farsighted people, on the other hand, require a steeper cornea. For patients who have astigmatism, the end goal of the surgery is to smooth an irregular cornea into a standard shape.

LASIK is one of the most common laser eye surgeries for a reason! Here are just a few of the many benefits associated with this procedure:
  • LASIK works – in most cases, patients experience fully corrected vision.
  • The procedure itself is relatively fast and painless.
  • Patients recover from LASIK surgery quickly.
  • It’s instantly gratifying – vision is corrected almost immediately, post-surgery.
  • After undergoing LASIK surgery, most patients will not need to wear glasses or contact lenses ever again.

Currently, around one in three people will suffer from astigmatism during their lifetime. Despite this startling statistic, many would be surprised to learn of someone close to them suffering from the condition. Most people misunderstand astigmatism, despite its commonness. Furthermore, many don’t know that LASIK surgery can treat the disease effectively.


Depending on the type and severity of the astigmatism, laser eye surgery (or LASIK) can either treat the symptoms or completely clear up a patient’s vision. LASIK works by reshaping the inner layer of the cornea. This corrects the astigmatism. Before conducting the procedure, however, the doctor must determine which type of astigmatism the patient suffers from. After the procedure, most patients notice immediate results. It may take a few days, or a week at most, to notice the full results. Over time, the patient’s vision will continue to improve significantly.

Photo refractive keratectomy (PRK) is a type of laser eye surgery that surgeons use as a backup for LASIK. If LASIK is not right for a patient, PRK may still be a viable option. Most people, however, don’t know the difference between the two procedures.

In a LASIK procedure, the eye surgeon creates a flap of corneal tissue using a laser. This does not happen in a PRK. Instead, the surgeon completely removes the outer layer of the cornea to expose a significant area where the laser may effectively reshape the cornea. For people whose eyes do not meet specific the criteria for LASIK, PRK is a better option. Alternatively, during LASIK surgery, a computer-controlled laser reshapes the layers of the cornea to correct imperfections in curvature, which can distort or blur vision. The surgeon then puts this flap back into place and allows the eye to heal.

The cost for laser eye surgery depends on numerous factors and can vary significantly. Please contact us for our pricing. High-quality LASIK surgery, however, will cost more than a few hundred dollars for a laser eye procedure, however; with this type of surgery, it is best to make the investment.

LASIK eye surgery, like any eye surgery, comes with risks. These include:

  • Under Corrections – The laser may possibly remove too much tissue from the cornea. An under correction, however, is easier to repair than an overcorrection.
  • Return to Pre-Surgery Vision – Over time, your vision may return to its pre-surgery level as a result of abnormal healing, pregnancy, or hormonal imbalances.
  • Vision Loss –Some patients may not see as sharply or as clearly as before due to surgical complications. On extremely rare occasions, patients may experience a complete loss of vision
  • Glare or Double Vision – Following laser eye surgery, patients may experience difficulty seeing at night, and notice a glare or double vision.
  • Dry Eyes – LASIK commonly causes a temporary decrease in tear production. For the first few months, patient’s eyes may feel dry as they begin the healing process.
