At Lake Nona Ophthalmology, we understand that your eyes are unique—backed by Dr. Patel’s years of experience as a board-certified ophthalmologist, our laser vision correction team combines comprehensive clinical expertise with the latest LASIK technology to offer an unparalleled eye care experience, helping you achieve clearer, sharper vision, without the need for glasses. 

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a cutting-edge corrective procedure that reshapes the cornea to provide life-long vision improvement. Using blade-less laser technology, the surgery corrects common refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism by repairing tissues in the eye to allow light to pass more easily into the retina. 

Performed from the comfort of our state-of-the-art LASIK suite, the procedure takes under an hour to complete. Dr. Patel and his laser vision correction team will then provide personalized care instructions and a post-surgical evaluation to ensure the success of the procedure.

Within 24 hours of surgery, patients will notice an immediate improvement in their eyesight—depending on the severity of your issues, LASIK can restore crystal-clear vision without the need for corrective eyewear.

Benefits of LASIK:

• Painless 
• Minimally Invasive
• Clear Vision without Glasses or Contacts 
• Precision Laser Technology
• Outpatient Procedure

Unlike LASIK, PRK does not create a corneal flap, containing both epithelial and the deeper stromal tissue. This allows the entire thickness of the underlying stroma to be treated. This is particularly beneficial to patients whose cornea is too thin for LASIK.

Most patients do very well after undergoing PRK. The procedure is an excellent, lower risk method, of correcting vision.

As a patented corrective technology, LASIK is an advanced surgical tool—while the procedure can offer life-changing improvements to your eyesight, enhancing your vision with LASIK requires a surgeon with the skills and knowledge to identify and correct subtle differences in each patient’s eye. 

Performed by less experienced LASIK technicians, the procedure may not provide the same advanced benefits. This is often the case at large LASIK centers, where patients have to wait in long lines before undergoing surgery and only meet with their surgeon the day of the procedure, without offering advanced diagnostic or aftercare support. 

For many patients, this can mean a rushed evaluation, leading to a procedure that provides only minimal improvements to your vision. If a patient at a LASIK center experiences complications after their procedure, their surgeons often do not offer follow-up appointments, forcing patients to seek help elsewhere.

At Lake Nona Ophthalmology, we believe that you are more than a number—your eyes are unique and you deserve access to personalized corrective care without having to compromise.

Unlike LASIK centers that provide a one-size-fits-all approach to LASIK, Dr. Patel and his laser vision correction team personalize LASIK surgery to each patient’s needs, offering comprehensive pre- and post-surgical evaluations to get you the best results from your procedure.

By taking the time to address each patient’s concerns, we ensure that your first LASIK surgery is the only one you’ll need to achieve life-long vision improvement.

Using our clinical expertise, we offer a boutique LASIK experience from the privacy of our state-of-the-art LASIK suite—unlike surgery centers, we carefully evaluate your eyecare concerns to develop a personalized approach that will not only correct your issues but offers you vision enhancement for life.
