Advanced Lasik Long Beach, CA Office

LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) is the most widely performed vision correction surgery. Randa Garrana, MD, offers LASIK from the Long Beach, California, location of her practice, Advanced Lasik. 

Vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia can all be corrected with the LASIK procedure. The surgery is very simple and takes only moments to complete. 

After numbing the eye and restricting its movement, Dr. Garrana cuts a thin flap on the outer layer of the cornea, moves it gently aside, and then uses an excimer laser pre-programmed with a map of the patient’s eye to re-shape the cornea so that images are focused to the correct spot on the retina. The flap is then replaced and the procedure is complete. 

LASIK has an excellent success rate and most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better. The procedure itself involves almost no discomfort or pain. Most patients can return to work within a day or two with remarkable vision. 

If you want to decrease your dependence on corrective glasses and contact lenses, LASIK might be the solution for you. Call Advanced Lasik in Long Beach, California, or request an appointment online.
