The process for getting Lasik surgery is fairly straightforward and similar regardless of which eye you have. After your initial consultation with an eye doctor and any pre-surgery tests, the operation itself takes about 35 minutes. There are several variations of this process depending on where you live and what type of procedure you want. For example, some patients get their eye(s) numbed with eyedrops before surgery while others get a combination of eyedrops and a local anesthetic injection. There is no one specific Lasik enhancement option that works better than any other. The success rate for each type of Lasik surgery is very high and there are very few risks associated with any of them. However, some procedures require more time and have a slightly increased risk of complications. The best way to determine which type of Lasik surgery is right for you is to discuss your options with your doctor during your initial consultation and decide which option best aligns with your vision goals and any medical conditions you may have. There are three main types of Lasik surgery:
Laser Assisted In-Seption
LASIK surgery with laser assistance is the most common type of Lasik surgery. It is also the most common type of Lasik surgery in the United States. This is due to it being the most effective and safest form of the procedure.With this type of Lasik surgery, the doctor uses a computer-controlled laser to change the shape of the cornea. The computer is programmed to focus the laser on the front surface of your eye to create the flap without damaging the sensitive tissues inside your eye. This is a very precise operation that requires very high-quality equipment and an experienced surgeon. The primary benefit of this type of Lasik surgery is that it can be done for both eyes on the same day. However, it is slightly less effective than other types of Lasik surgery.
Pre-Cut Corneal Stamp
A pre-cut corneal stamp is a tool that is used to create a small flap in the central cornea. This type of surgery is used for people who have very high prescription errors, dry eye symptoms, or other problems that may interfere with the creation of a flap in the central portion of the eye. This type of surgery is not as common as the other types due to the fact that it is more complicated and requires additional training for the eye surgeon and staff.The pre-cut corneal stamp is used to create a flap in the outside edge of the cornea, then the surgeon will use the flap to lift off a small section of the cornea and reshape it into a new, thinner surface. This type of surgery is most often used when you have more than 20/20 vision in one eye and less than 20/200 in the other eye. This surgery is most frequently used for people who have had Lasik surgery in one eye and want to have it in the other eye, or who wear corrective lenses in one eye but do not in the other eye. This type of surgery is more common for people who want to have a "re-fit" in one eye than for someone who has been diagnosed with high prescription errors. There is a very low risk of complications with this surgery, but it is not as effective or as commonly used as the other types of Lasik surgery.
Traditional Lasik
Traditional Lasik surgery is the most commonly used type of Lasik surgery. During this type of operation, the surgeon makes two small incisions in the cornea about 10-15 mm apart. A flap is created in the middle of the cornea, lifted off the surface, and discarded. Then, a laser is used to reshape the outside portion of the cornea to create a new, thinner surface. This surgery is highly effective and can be performed on both eyes on the same day. The only downside to this type of surgery is that it requires a longer recovery time than the other types. The risk of complications with this type of surgery is slightly higher than with the other types, but it is still very low. If you have high prescription errors, dry eye symptoms, or other problems that could interfere with the creation of a flap in the central portion of your eye, this is the best type of Lasik surgery for you.
How is LASIK Enhancement Performed?
If you are a good candidate for Lasik surgery and want to have your Lasik surgery enhanced with additional corrective measures, the best time to do that is before the original surgery. This type of surgery is called LASIK enhancement because it involves more than just the original Lasik procedure.If you are a good candidate for Lasik surgery and want to have your Lasik surgery enhanced with additional corrective measures, the best time to do that is before the original surgery.

LASIK Enhancement with a Pre-Existing Condition
If you have a pre-existing condition that will make it more difficult to achieve the results you are looking for, it may not be a good idea to do a Lasik surgery that doesn’t take that into account. In this type of enhancement, your doctor will use your prescription information and take into account your pre-existing condition. The goal of this type of surgery is to create an appropriate level of vision for you, while still taking into account any pre-existing conditions that might affect your vision.This type of surgery can be difficult to find, and it may take some time to get your Lasik surgery scheduled. You may also have to travel to another city or state for the surgery, which can be inconvenient. However, the results of this type of surgery can be very good and can help you achieve the vision you are looking for without having to completely change your prescription.
LASIK Enhancement with a New Addition to Your Vision
If you have a new addition to your vision, such as astigmatism or certain types of cataracts, it may not be a good idea to do a Lasik surgery that doesn’t take that into account. This type of surgery can be difficult to find, and it may take some time to get your Lasik surgery scheduled.
