About LASIK
Laser vision correction is now in its second decade of helping patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. As testimony to its life-changing benefits, thousands of ophthalmologists, optometrists, and patients around the world have become so impressed with the results of laser vision correction that over one million procedures are now performed each year in the United States.
Heavy demand for laser vision correction has inspired surgeons and laser manufacturers to make tremendous advancements in both Excimer laser technology and surgical technique. When laser vision correction was first performed in the 1980s, only low to moderately nearsighted patients without astigmatism could be treated. Today, with the advanced technology and variety of procedures performed by Emory Vision surgeons, there are safe and effective treatment options for just about every person who wants to reduce his or her dependence on glasses or contacts.
Effective treatment options are now available for individuals who were not good candidates for LASIK in the past.
