• WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE AFTER LASIK?

    1. HomeNewsWHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE AFTER LASIK?
    Your ability to see without prescription eyewear following your LASIK procedure will depend on the type of refractive error you are having corrected. In many cases, patients are able to see more clearly several hours after their LASIK procedure. Most patients experience improved vision 24 to 48 hours after LASIK; however, it will take a few months for the total results to develop.

    Studies have found that more than 90 percent of patients who have received LASIK achieve eyesight of 20/40 or better. Of course, our goal at Silverstein Eye Centers is to provide the clearest vision possible. Every step is taken by our experienced ophthalmologists to ensure you are provided with the highest level of vision correction possible.

    20/40 vision qualifies an individual to pass a driver’s license test without the assistance of prescription eyewear. It is our goal to free you from the burden of glasses and contact lenses. During your initial vision examination, one of our eye doctors can give you a better idea of how long your vision will take to stabilize and what results you can expect from your procedure.

    If you live in or around Kansas City or Lee’s Summit, Missouri and would like to learn more about LASIK, please contact Silverstein Eye Centers to schedule a free initial consultation today.

    A healthy cornea is critical to your vision and general health. When your cornea is damaged by injury, infection, or disease, your ability to focus is compromised because the incoming light can be distorted or blocked. Steven Silverstein MD, FACS is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist. He is an internationally renowned expert, and will expertly treat any corneal issues you may have.

    Ask us about Prokera, a biologic corneal bandage that has natural therapeutic actions known to heal the eye faster with less pain, scarring, and inflammation.
    If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, cataract surgery is the only way to restore your vision. Your choice of a cataract surgeon can have a significant impact on the quality of your results, so choosing your cataract surgeon carefully is worth the time and effort. At Silverstein Eye Centers, we use only the most advanced technology for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Learn more about cataract treatment options.
    LASIK laser vision correction has enabled millions of people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts.

    Proactive eye care starts with routine examinations. Our complete examination will reveal any eye problems, even hidden ones you may not be aware of.

    If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, or thyroid disease, your vision and the health of your eyes could be affected. Also, certain medications can cause visual problems, which is why it’s so important to have your eyes examined on a regular basis. Contact us today to schedule your next appointment!
