LASIK Consultation & Co-Management, Lakeport, CA
If you’re tired of depending on glasses or contact lenses for clear vision, LASIK surgery may be the answer! At Konocti View Optometry, we offer LASIK consultations in Lakeport, California to help you decide if LASIK or another refractive eye surgery is right for you. If our eye doctor feels you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery, she will refer you to an ophthalmologist in the area for the procedure. We will then schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and answer any questions you may have.
What is refractive eye surgery?
Refractive eye surgery refers to any surgical procedure used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The most common refractive eye surgery is LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), but other types include PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) and LASEK (laser epithelial keratomileusis). LASIK surgery involves using a laser to remove a thin layer of your cornea (the clear front window of your eye). This gives your cornea a new shape and improves how light focuses on your retina.
Your refractive eye surgery consultation
During your LASIK or refractive eye surgery consultation, our eye doctor will closely examine your eyes to determine your suitability for the procedure. Corneal topography (or corneal mapping) is an innovative technology we use to create detailed maps of the surface of your cornea. Because LASIK surgery changes the shape of the cornea while also making the cornea thinner, we use corneal mapping to determine if LASIK will affect the structural integrity of your cornea. It also rules out any corneal diseases that may affect your candidacy for surgery.
If you’re a good candidate for surgery, we will refer you to a surgeon in the Lakeport area. We will work closely with this surgeon to ensure that you receive the best possible care before, during, and after your procedure. Following surgery, our team at Konocti View Optometry will schedule follow-up appointments to check your progress and ensure your eyes are healing properly.
