LASIK Eye Surgery - Raleigh / Durham
Frequently Asked Questions
Does LASIK hurt?
Because the cornea is easily numbed with "eye drop" anesthesia, our LASIK Raleigh / Durham patients report little, if any discomfort both during and after the procedure.
When will I be able to see after the procedure?
Results vary from patient to patient. Most patients have functional vision in one to three days. Full visual results are usually realized within one to three months.
Are there any risks with LASIK?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with LASIK. But in the hands of a highly skilled and experienced surgeon like Dr. Dean Dornic, LASIK can be a safe and successful procedure. Nevertheless, you should talk with Dr. Dornic about any risks associated with the procedure, as well as all the benefits. Keep in mind, at Laser Eye Center of Carolina, you are in the hands of a highly experienced and skilled eye surgeon who is dedicated to excellence.
Will I need to wear glasses once my eyes have healed after LASIK?
Most patients who have had LASIK at Laser Eye Center of Carolina don't need glasses for their daily activities. However, if you're over age 40, you still may need to wear reading glasses because of the normal aging process of the eye. This condition, known as presbyopia, occurs as you get older,
whether or not you've had LASIK.
Isn't all laser vision correction the same?
No. Many of the discount LASIK centers want you to believe that LASIK should be purchased like a commodity and that surgeon experience, laser and diagnostic technology, and follow-up care do not matter. Laser vision correction will affect the way you see for the rest of your life. You should make your decision to have laser vision correction carefully, not quickly. We encourage you to visit other laser centers and compare them to us.
At Dr. Dornic’s LASIK and cataract surgery Durham / Raleigh offices, all patients are treated with the utmost respect and attentiveness. This approach helps reduce their anxiety, which in turn leads to better treatment results.
