VISIX STAR S4 Laser

The VISX STAR S4 Laser

What is LASIK?

The name LASIK is short for Laser In-situ Keratomileusis. LASIK is a procedure in which the Excimer (cool beam) laser reshapes the cornea. Throughout the procedure you are awake but comfortable due to numbing drops placed in your eye. LASIK is a popular procedure today because there is a minimal amount of discomfort, treatment time, and post-operative recovery. Eye Surgical Associates has chosen the VISX Star S4 Active Trak laser, a widely used Excimer laser due to its high accuracy, safety profile, and the fact that pupil dilation is not necessary during the procedure.

After the procedure you will be given eye drops to use post-operatively to help your eyes heal. By the next morning your vision will improve dramatically. Although your vision may be a little blurry for a few days, most people are able to return to work within 24-48 hours. In most cases, improvement in vision is noticed immediately and continues to improve for several weeks.

Millions of people have benefited from LASIK vision correction. Ask our LASIK Advantage coordinators for current Eye Surgical Associates LASIK outcomes.
