LASIK Consultations &
Co-management 

Are you tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses? LASIK and other refractive eye surgeries could be the solution you've been looking for. At Northwest Hills Eye Care, we offer detailed LASIK consultations and co-management services to help you determine if refractive surgery is the right choice for your vision.

​

What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This surgery reduces or eliminates the need for corrective lenses, providing long-lasting improvements in vision. With LASIK, a specialized laser is used to reshape the cornea, allowing light to properly focus on the retina for clearer vision. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and most patients recover quickly with little to no side effects.

​

The Benefits of LASIK and Refractive Eye Surgery

LASIK and refractive eye surgery offer a variety of benefits, especially for those tired of relying on glasses or contacts. These benefits include:

​

Clear Vision Without Lenses

LASIK can significantly reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Whether you’ve been dealing with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, refractive surgery may offer you the chance for clearer vision without the hassle of corrective eyewear.

​

Freedom for Active Lifestyles

For athletes and those with active lifestyles, LASIK and other refractive surgeries can provide enhanced vision and the freedom to move without worrying about glasses or contacts. Enjoy sports, outdoor activities, and exercise with clear vision.

Lasting Results

LASIK surgery offers long-term vision improvement, meaning fewer visits to the eye doctor for prescriptions or lens fittings.
