Review Information about Palm Beach LASIK Surgery and Eye Surgeons

LASIK eye surgery is one of the most popular elective procedures in Palm Beach, the United States and around the world. Many millions of patients have eliminated their dependence on glasses or contact lenses using LASIK and other types of laser eye surgery, such as PRK or LASEK.

Are You a Candidate for LASIK in West Palm?

To determine if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery, it is best to consult a West Palm Beach LASIK surgeon who specializes in refractive surgery. The surgeon can perform a number of diagnostic tests to ascertain the level of vision correction needed and whether you can be expected to have good visual after surgery. Common reasons patients do not qualify for LASIK are that the cornea is too thin or the pupil is too large.

What Happens During the LASIK Procedure

During the LASIK procedure, the first step is to create the corneal flap. This is a thin layer of outer corneal tissue that is peeled back to expose the inner parts of the cornea. Once the flap is created and peeled back, the excimer laser can be used to remove a certain amount of corneal tissue to correct vision. After the laser is used, the flap is placed back over the cornea. Typically the patient can see clearly immediately following surgery. Many LASIK surgeons also offer comprehensive eye care services, including anti aging procedures for the face and eyes. The procedures include blepharoplasty, Botox and Restylane. Laser hair removal is also often used to remove unwanted hair on the face.

For body procedures, the eye doctor may be able to refer you to a plastic surgery West Palm Beach specialist. A popular procedure is breast augmentation with breast implants in West Palm Beach. Plastic surgeons do not perform procedures to help weight loss. For weight loss surgery, a gastric banding Palm Beach specialist may be needed.
