Chicago Laser Eye Surgery Experts
Over the years, the Midwest Center for Sight has earned a reputation as a premiere Chicago LASIK eye surgery practice. The center's surgeons recognize that, just like human fingerprints, every patient's eyes are unique. This is why they perform a series of very precise measurements and diagnostic tests before recommending laser eye surgery. If a patient is a candidate for LASIK in Chicago, the surgeons perform additional tests to precisely calibrate the laser and deliver a proper amount of laser energy.
During the LASIK procedure, the surgeons first numb the eye with special anesthetic drops. The eye and the head are then stabilized to avoid the chance of sudden movement. After the patient has been prepared, the surgeon administers a predetermined amount of laser energy to the surface of the cornea. This manipulation slightly changes the shape of the cornea, allowing it to properly refract light rays. After the LASIK surgery, the patient might experience temporary blurry vision. However, the haze clears within hours, revealing crisp, crystal-clear vision. The Midwest Center for Sight's LASIK Chicago patients are often able to perform all of their everyday tasks without corrective glasses or contact lenses.
