Understanding LASIK: Is It the Right Vision Solution for You?
May is Healthy Vision Month–a perfect time to focus on the health and comfort of your eyes. If you’re tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses, you might be considering LASIK surgery as a solution. At Ginsberg Eye, we believe that informed patients make the best choices for their vision. This blog explores the benefits of LASIK, the expertise of Dr. Barrett Ross Ginsberg, and why now is an ideal moment to invest in your eye health.
What Is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK eye surgery is a widely performed procedure designed to correct common refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The process involves reshaping the cornea with advanced laser technology to improve how light focuses on the retina, resulting in sharper, more comfortable vision. Modern LASIK is minimally invasive, requires no stitches, and typically offers a rapid recovery.
