LASIK Surgery
LASIK is a lifechanging procedure that can correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism for clearer vision and a better quality of life. At DLV Vision, our exceptional team provides customized LASIK treatment plans that give you the vision that fits your lifestyle.
What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea, or front, of your eye using ultraprecise lasers. When your eye is the wrong shape, it distorts your vision, but LASIK can correct this and enhance your vision with an outpatient procedure. This can reduce, or even eliminate, your need for corrective eyewear. All of our LASIK surgeries are completely customized to each patient, so they get the experience, and vision, that they deserve.
LASIK Benefits
LASIK is an incredibly safe procedure that can greatly enhance your vision and reduce or even eliminate your need for corrective eyeglasses. After your LASIK surgery, you won’t have to concern yourself with keeping track of your glasses or wondering if you’re seeing your best. And while you can’t put a price on that worry-free clarity, LASIK also means you won’t have to purchase eyewear or get as many eye exams, saving you a fortune in the long run!
How Much Does LASIK Cost? Less Than Ever!
The cost of LASIK eye surgery depends on a variety of factors, which our team will go over with you during a consultation. As LASIK is an elective surgery, it’s typically not covered by insurance, although some plans may cover a portion of it. Advanced LASIK is more affordable than it ever has been before, and we’re happy to accept a variety of financing options, FSAs & HSAs, and payment types for the procedure to make exceptional eyesight truly accessible.
How It Works
The front of the cornea tends to return to its original shape, but the layers just beneath can be operated on for permanent enhancement. That’s why, during LASIK surgery, we use industry-leading lasers to create a small protective flap of corneal tissue, then lift up part of it and painlessly alter the curvature of your eye. The top layer of cornea is put back in place, and your eye should fully heal in a matter of weeks with new and improved vision!
The Three Steps of LASIK
- The doctor creates a small protective flap of corneal tissue with a femtosecond laser, which is lifted and folded back.
- The doctor uses the laser to apply a cool beam of light that reshapes your cornea and corrects your vision.
- The doctor gently repositions the flap and the healing process begins immediately.

Our High-Tech LASIK Surgery
We use two corresponding LASIK lasers, the Ziemer FEMTO Z8 laser and the Nidek, which lets us treat a greater range of vision needs: one laser is dedicated to creating the small corneal flap, while the other solely focuses on reshaping the eye. This advanced suite of technology means more precision, more efficiency, more comfort, and a shorter recovery time for patients.
Your Fast Recovery and Results
While LASIK surgery is painless and has little downtime, you won’t be able to drive immediately after your appointment. You’ll likely notice some improvement in about a day, but it will take about a week to notice significant enhancement. You should be able to return to normal activities within a few days of your procedure, but since we utilize customized treatment plans, every patient will have a different experience. After your surgery, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments so we can ensure you’re still seeing clearer than ever! Typically, patients are able to achieve 20/20 vision or even better!
