MOORESVILLE, N.C., Dec. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LASIK patients can find reliable and expert pre and post-operative LASIK surgical care services, reports Eye Care Center Mooresville. The experienced optometrists at Eye Care Center Mooresville can assess individual eye health, recommend candidates for LASIK surgery and provide pre-surgical assessments, medications and follow-up care after surgery to check vision quality and healing. Quality pre and post-operative care reduces risks in LASIK surgery and produces optimal outcomes for patients.
LASIK surgery is an FDA approved treatment used to reshape the cornea. LASIK has been used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. The ten minute procedure can correct refractive errors and improve patient vision. LASIK has been effectively used to reduce patient reliance on prescription contacts and glasses. Optometrists can provide affected individuals with annual vision exams to look for vision loss, vision changes and overall eye health.
Pre and post LASIK surgical care services are necessary for optimal results from LASIK surgery. Pre surgical care services include a full optometry assessment and discussion of what makes patients a candidate for LASIK surgery. Those having surgery should avoid irritants to the eye the day of surgery including, smoking, eye makeup and alcohol. Medication may be prescribed by an optometrist to reduce anxiety, increase comfort and make eyes less susceptible to infection before and after the procedure. Post-surgical care is necessary after LASIK surgery; an optometrist will check vision quality and healing in the days following the surgery and make necessary suggestions. Protective eye covers and corticosteroid eye drops may be required during the first 48 hours after surgery. Vision changes can be experienced during the four to six weeks after LASIK surgery.
“Refractive errors can often reduce eye function and vision quality and patients often turn to LASIK surgery to effectively improve their vision,” said Dr. Ed Mills. “Patients who are considering LASIK surgery need to invest in quality pre and post-operative care to ensure that they have the support necessary for the best possible vision outcomes. Our optometrists provide patients with the necessary information, medication and care to treat affected eyes and aid the healing process after surgery. Quality pre and post-operative care helps many patients return to their daily activities and independent lives without reliance on corrective lenses.”
