LASIK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a painless, surgical procedure that uses a laser to gently reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus more directly on the retina and correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
This blade-free, outpatient procedure takes only a few minutes per eye. In most cases, patients can return to work the next day.
If you answer "Yes" to any of these questions, you may be a good candidate for LASIK.
Imagine waking up to see the world with crisp, brilliant clarity and less dependence on glasses or contact lenses. With life-changing LASIK, you'll be able to play sports, swim, go to the movies, and enjoy social activities like never before!
Milauskas Eye Institute utilizes the latest in Wavefront™ guided laser technology. Because of this, we can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
LASIK is a safe and relatively short procedure. Before you know it, you'll be seeing better than ever!
At Milauskas Eye Institute, we have helped thousands of people eliminate or reduce their dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
A Milauskas Eye Institute LASIK Specialist will meet with you to discuss your vision and help you understand the options available. The consultation and the diagnostic testing are free, and neither obligates you to any future service. The meeting helps us determine whether you are a candidate for LASIK. If you are, you will have an opportunity to schedule your procedure at this appointment.
Our staff will greet you and introduce you to the ophthalmologist who will perform your procedure. The procedure itself takes about 15-20 minutes in our laser suite.
After surgery, you must have a friend or family member provide your transportation home. You will experience improved vision right away, but we recommend not reading, driving, or using a computer for the rest of the day. After a good night’s sleep you can return to work the next day.
It is important that you meet with a Milauskas Eye Institute doctor the day after your LASIK. We will confirm that your eyes are healthy and clear you for normal activity.
At Milauskas Eye Institute, we pride ourselves in providing the highest quality of care. This decision to have LASIK is an important one that ultimately, only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes or misconceptions. At Milauskas Eye Institute, we stress the importance of patient education. We will spend the time needed with prospective candidates to be certain they have all the information they need to make a decision. We encourage you to schedule your Free Consultation to find how you can wake up to clear vision.

Ideal LASIK candidates fall between the ages of 21 to 38. However, there are a variety of factors considered prior to the recommendation for LASIK surgery. If you’re experiencing symptoms similar to that which is described above, please come in for a visit.
Typically, candidates for any refractive procedures must show little to no change in refraction (prescription) for at least 1 year. However, patients are still encouraged to come in for a visit so that our doctors gain a better understanding of your vision capabilities.
Numbing drops are administered before surgery, so most of our patients report that this procedure is pain-free. However, mild discomfort is also possible with all corrective procedures.
Research has shown that LASIK is a permanent procedure. However, there are some instances in which patients need to have an enhancement—this is where the surgeon has to repeat the procedure to obtain satisfactory results.
