Meister Eye & Laser Center offers unparalleled Laser California

When top eye surgeon California - Dr. Richard Meister performs LASIK at his Sacramento area office, he uses Wavefront technology to produce a “roadmap” of each individual eye. In this manner, Dr. Meister can customize the LASIK procedure to address your specific vision errors, greatly increasing your chances of achieving 20/20 or better vision. Most common questions asked by patients in the Sacramento area are as follows:- How safe is the LASIK surgery? There are risks involved with any surgical procedure. However, because LASIK surgery uses a cool beam of light that is computer controlled, there is little chance of error. In the U.S. alone, the procedure has been performed well over a million times. According to recent data, 98% of patients treated with LASIK for nearsightedness and/or astigmatism see well enough to pass a driver’s test without glasses in all 50 states. What are the side effects of LASIK eye surgery, if any? The most common initial reaction after LASIK is a “halo” or glare effect. You may experience a slight glare around lights, especially at night. However, these side effects are generally no more serious than those resulting from contact lenses, and are frequently much less serious. Normally, these effects subside in 2 to 4 months for most LASIK surgery patients. Will I be in any pain during LASIK surgery? The treatment, itself, has been reported by most patients as being painless. You may experience discomfort and a “gritty” feeling in the first 24 to 48 hours after LASIK surgery. Our Sacramento area patients can be given medication to curb this discomfort. Will the LASIK eye surgery results be permanent? Given the results of both U.S. and international clinical trials since the procedure’s inception, LASIK surgery appears to be permanent for most patients. rnWhat if I need to repeat the procedure? Our commitment to you is all necessary laser vision correction re-treatments will be at no cost for two years following the initial LASIK surgery California if done at PLEC. The Sacramento-area Laser Center also offers a commitment that after these two years have elapsed, any necessary re-treatment surgery will be done for $500 per eye. Farsighted patients are more likely to need a re-treatment than patients with nearsightedness and astigmatism. Visit Meister Eye & Laser Center for unparalleled Laser California.
