Step 01
Before Surgery
Learn what makes you a good candidate for LASIK or cataract surgery, and get answers to common questions before your consultation. Ideal LASIK candidates are over 21, with a stable prescription, sufficient corneal thickness, and no untreated dry eye.
Step 02
Surgery Day
LASIK is performed using topical anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure but not pain.
Evergreen's IntraLase technology creates the corneal flap with laser energy rather than a hand
held blade.
Step 03
After Surgery
Most LASIK patients resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, with vision continuing to
stabilize over the following days and weeks. Any dry, scratchy feeling after surgery is common
and typically resolves within hours, and can be treated with drops.
