Colorado lasik
Colorado lasik could be the vision solution to your problem of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism that you have been looking for. If you are between the ages of 18 and 70 and wear glasses or contact lenses to correct the previously mentioned vision issues, then you might be a good candidate for Colorado lasik surgery.Colorado lasik stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis. In this Colorado lasik procedure, the surgeon will carefully cut a thin layer of tissue from directly above the cornea, then lift and fold the tissue back, to expose the cornea below. Next the surgeon will use a Excimer laser to custom remove corneal tissue that is marring your vision. Finally, the folded top tissue is replaced back over the cornea. Because the tissue is never detached from the eye, this helps the eye to heal much more quickly than in conventional eye surgeries. Healing at the edges of the cut begins to occur within a few hours after surgery, and most patients find that they are able to return to work and drive as soon as a day or two after surgery. Improvements to your vision from Colorado lasik may be noticed as soon as the time you are ready to leave the doctor's office the same day of surgery.
Some people fall into a small category where conventional Colorado lasik might not solve their vision problems. There are other types of Colorado lasik that might be suitable in these situations. One type is Custom Colorado lasik, which is an appropriate treatment option for those with higher order aberrations that conventional lasik will not help. In this technique, the patient's corneal surface is completely reshaped to their exact vision correction needs. Another type of specialty Colorado lasik procedure is Epi-lasik. Your surgeon might offer this treatment as an option if you have thin corneas or corneal conditions that would make you ineligible for conventional lasik treatment. After your eyes have gone through a predetermined amount of time necessary for healing, the doctor might determine that Colorado lasik enhancements could improve your vision due to overcorrection or undercorrection factors. This is a second surgery, and needs to be undertaken only with your doctor's recommendation that it is necessary. If you would like to get rid of your bifocals, then the Colorado lasik monovision treatment might be for you.
Before you begin with any Colorado lasik surgery you will want a consultation with a lasik surgeon, who can give you a comprehensive eye examination and then go over all the options available to you to correct your vision. Some individuals with certain health conditions are not good candidates for lasik surgery, and your doctor can determine this for you.
