What Can LASIK Correct?

LASIK vision correction is a refractive surgical procedure that can improve vision conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism – even reducing or eliminating your need for glasses or contact lenses. You will have one of these refractive errors if your cornea (the outside of your eye) is not ideally shaped. 

For Example:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia) means your eye may be longer than a normal eye and your cornea may be steeper. When light passes through your cornea and lens, it focuses in front of your retina (the back of your eye) so distant images appear blurry.

What Are The Steps of LASIK?

Prior to any LASIK procedure, our team takes precise measurements of the individual curvature of your cornea and microscopic nuances of your eye anatomy. We use Wavescan 3D mapping to create a blueprint of your eye. This is used to guide your treatment to produce the best vision results. Although your vision may be blurry at first, results are almost immediate. Most patients are generally able to see clearly in just a few hours.

LASIK Procedure Step 1 in Northern Colorado

Step 1

Anesthetic eye drops are administered to numb your eyes. A lid speculum is used to keep your eyes open.

LASIK Procedure Step 2 in Northern Colorado

Step 2

Your doctor creates a thin corneal flap using a laser to allow access to the underlying corneal tissue. We have invested in iFS® femtosecond laser technology for this step.

LASIK Procedure Step 3 in Northern Colorado

Step 3

A laser is used to reshape your cornea according to your unique refractive error. Only minuscule amounts of corneal tissue need to be removed in most cases.

Step 4

When the procedure is finished, the flap is positioned back in place where it will heal quickly without the need for stitches.

How Can Life Change After LASIK?

Millions of people enjoy clearer, crisper vision than they ever imagined after having LASIK vision correction. For those leading active lifestyles, the freedom of life without the hassle of contacts or glasses is greatly rewarding. Just waking up every morning with clear sight can be truly life-changing. Lastly, the ongoing expenses and hassles of buying contacts and new glasses may be eliminated by investing in LASIK.

FAQs -  Laser Vision Correction

Modern Laser Vision Correction technologies can correct astigmatism for most patients. A complete Laser Vision Correction exam is required to let you know for sure if Laser Vision Correction will work for you.

Laser Vision Correction is virtually painless for most patients. Your eyes are numbed with anesthetic eye drops before the procedure. Some patients feel a pressure sensation during the procedure.

Not everyone is a good candidate for Laser Vision Correction, but there may be other procedures that can be performed to enhance your vision. Our team can discuss those options in depth so you can decide what procedure might meet your vision goals.

Risks of Laser Vision Correction surgery include but are not limited to glare, halos, dry eye, vision loss, under-correction, over-correction, need for glasses after surgery, and infection. During your consultation, your surgeon can talk in depth about the risks associated with laser vision correction.

Most people are able to resume their normal activities the next day following the procedure.
Laser Vision Correction is a permanent vision correction. However, you can still experience other changes in your vision over time. For example, presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) affects most people over age 40, regardless of how clear your vision has been in the past.

Patient Testimonials

If you have a baby with eye problems, this is the place to go and Dr. Patrick Arnold is the man to see. Our nine-month-old son has exotropia and today he had the surgery to help fix it. Everything went as perfectly as any parent sending their baby into surgery could possibly hope for. I’m mostly writing this review as a thank you to the nurses we worked with when we were in there.

I do a lot of outdoor activities in Colorado and with the dry air, my contact lenses were almost unbearable at times. That led me to looking in having LASIK surgery. The process was smooth and convenient. Now I can enjoy my activities with clear vision and pain free.

Dr. Arnold has been our saving grace with our son. We were referred to him by our eye doctor in Cheyenne, WY when we could get to the bottom of why my son’s eye wasn’t healing from what we thought were scratches. He has taken such great care of our son. He is so patient and makes the young patients and their parents feel as ease. So thankful for him.

As a radiologist, my career depends on my vision. I had always wanted to rid myself of my glasses but was hesitant to take the plunge. After several of my partners had the procedure done and reported great results, I had my LASIK done with Dr. Robinson. After wearing glasses for 35 years, it is wonderful to be able to see the world without them.
