The procedure for lasik (Laser In-situ Keratomileusis) surgery takes only moments and the results are almost immediate! The eyeball is numbed with an "eye drop" anesthesia, and an instrument called a microkeratome folds back a thin flap of corneal tissue. A cool beam of light from the Excimer laser then removes a predetermined amount of tissue from the inner cornea to correct the patient's refractive error. The corneal flap is placed back in its original position where it bonds without need for stitches. Most lasik patients have functional vision within 12 to 24 hours and full visual results usually take one to four weeks (results and healing times vary with each individual). 95-98% of patients have 20/40 vision within 12-24 hours! The surgery is done right at Central Florida Eye Institute and a follow-up visit is scheduled for the next day.
Dr. Croley has been involved with the Excimer laser since 1989 and is the area's leader in laser vision correction since 1994. He has had vast comprehensive training throughout the United States and Europe and uses the latest technology and optimal care in performing Lasik and Surface Oblation (PRK).
The Excimer lasers Dr. Croley has are Bausch & Lomb and Summit Technology. These lasers are owned and operated solely by Dr. Croley. Your treatment and follow-up care is done at Central Florida Eye Institute. Because the Excimer is such a precise instrument, it is never handled by another doctor or technician, nor is it moved from our location. This ensures the most accurate calibration of the Laser.
The fee for the procedure includes your initial complete eye examination, laser surgery and follow-up visits for a full year. Payment options are available with no down payment.
