Considering LASIK Eye Surgery? Here are some things to consider before proceeding.HealthNewsDigest.com

Minimizing Dry Eyes From LASIK

Most people considering LASIK are aware that one potential side effect from the procedure is dry eyes. Occassionally the symptoms can be fairly severe and may last a year, rarely longer. There are some things you can do to minimize dry eye symptoms. If you have underlying dry eye, you likely will not be a candidate for LASIK. Instead you may want to consider PRK, SBK, OmniLase or Implantable Contacts. If you have borderline dry eye (symptoms only present under more extreme conditions: when wearing contacts, exposed to wind etc)you may want to prepare for the expected symptoms of dry eyes by starting Restasis ahead of time, starting fish oil capsules or receiving puntum plugs at the time of your LASIK procedure. A newer model of IntraLase laser used to creat the LASIK flap has been shown to minimize the severity and duration of dry eyes after LASIK. The Laser Eye Center of Carolina is the only facility in North Carolina offering LASIK with the IFS laser.

The iFS is the Evolution Of IntraLase

A major advance in LASIK technology was the introduction of the femtosecond laser to create the LASIK flap. Now well over half of LASIK cases performed today utilize the IntraLase laser. This laser has been proven to improve safety and results. The latest model of IntraLase laser for LASIK eye surgery is even better. The iFS IntraLase laser has unsurpassed customization features that make the flap more secure and reduces the incidence and severity of dry eye after LASIK. If you are sold on the benefits of IntraLase and want to take advantage of the new iFS laser, the only iFS laser for IntraLase LASIK in Raleigh, NC is at the Laser Eye Center of Carolina.
