LASIK eye surgery

What is LASIK?

LASIK is an FDA-approved vision correction procedure that allows patients the opportunity to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses, contact lenses, and other visual aids.

The procedure corrects refractive errors — including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism — by precisely reshaping the cornea so that light entering the eye focuses correctly on the retina.

The entire procedure takes less than ten minutes per eye. The corneal flap heals without stitches, and most patients notice dramatically improved vision within 24 hours.

How LASIK Works

Dr. Shah uses blade-free IntraLase technology throughout the procedure:

  • A thin corneal flap is created using the IntraLase laser — no blade
  • The flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue
  • An excimer laser precisely reshapes the cornea to correct your prescription
  • The flap is repositioned and heals naturally — no stitches required
