When you think about it, the LASIK procedure is truly incredible. In an average of about 30 minutes, the procedure reshapes your cornea and corrects your vision. However, what about the results? How long do LASIK eye surgery results last?
Results That Last
Thanks to technological improvements and increasingly skilled surgeons, LASIK results are considered both consistent and permanent. Even though there may be some cases in which patients need additional eye treatment, vision correction is usually not necessary after completing LASIK eye surgery. However, LASIK eye surgery does not usually correct the need for reading glasses. Just like having minor prescription changes over time, you may have minor changes in your vision after LASIK eye surgery. For this reason, reading glasses may be needed in later years as eyes change with age.
How long do LASIK eye surgery results last?
The need for an enhancement (or “touch up”) procedure after LASIK surgery can be necessary given the previously mentioned eye changes. Hormonal changes can also cause the need for vision correction. Obviously, changes in eyes and hormonal variations cannot be prevented. However, the need for enhancements can be reduced by choosing a highly skilled surgeon, using the latest technology.

If you’ve ever considered laser eye surgery to improve your vision, you’ve probably come across the several different types, LASIK, PRK, LASEK, and dpi-LASIK. But what are the differences and how should you choose? Let’s discuss the different types of laser eye surgery.
Different Types Of Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK-LASIK is the most popular laser eye surgery. During LASIK, a “flap” is crated on the surface of the eye using a laser surgical tool. The “flap” is then folded back and the corneal tissue is reshaped. After reshaping, the “flap” is returned to the original position and becomes a sort of natural bandage, allowing the eye to heal. There are no stitches to reattach the “flap,” as it heals quickly and adheres securely.
PRK-In a PRK procedure, there is no “flap” created. A surgeon will entirely removed the outer layer of the cornea. The corneal tissue is then reshaped with a excimer laser. A new outer layer grows back within five days after the procedure.

LASEK-The LASEK procedure involves elements of both LASIK and PRK. Instead of discarding the outer layer of the cornea (like in PRK), the “flap” is pushed to the side, but remains attached to the eye on one side. This process exposes the corneal tissue for laser reshaping. After reshaping, the outer layer is repositioned and a bandage contact lens is placed on the eye to keep the layer in place during the healing process.
Epi-LASIK-Epi-LASIK is very similar to LASEK, with the only real difference being the type of tool used to loosen the outer layer of the cornea. This eliminates the risk of a reaction from the use of alcohol (used in LASEK).
There ya go, a quick and relatively simple explanation of each of the different types of laser eye surgery. All of the different types of laser eye surgery have high success rates, with similar vision outcomes. After a thorough consultation, our spets will be able to determine which laser eye surgery is right for you, based on your individual needs. Request one today!

It’s that time of year! Friends, family, presents, and of course Christmas cookies! Try some of our favorite Christmas cookie classics to share with your friends & family this holiday season!
Give these 3 Christmas cookie classics a try!
Sugar Cookie Swirls
Ingredients:
- Sugar cookie dough
- Food coloring (red or green)
- Sprinkles
Instructions:
- Make up a batch of sugar cookie dough (or buy the premade kind) divide and place in two separate bowls.
- Knead food coloring into one of the parts of dough (making it darker with more coloring and lighter with less coloring), leaving the other part white. Chill the dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough separately to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a pastry brush, apply a little water to the darker layer of dough. Roll the lighter colour of dough around the rolling pin and transfer it on top of the darker coloured layer of dough. The little bit of water will help them stick together.
- Trim the edges so you end up with a neat and tidy rectangle.
- Gently start rolling your dough from one of the wider ends, brushing a we bit of water on the dough as you roll it up. Once it’s rolled up, you can work the ‘log’ to even it out if the middle is thicker then the ends, and to work out any gaps.
- Spill out some sprinkles onto the counter, brush the outside of the dough ‘log’ with a bit more water and roll it in the sprinkles.
- Finally, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
- Once chilled, slice the dough into rounds to your desired thickness. The thinner the blade used to slice them, the better.
- Bake according to sugar cookie recipe instructions and serve with milk!
