How Laser Eye Surgery Works
Laser vision correction works by gently reshaping the clear front window of your eye, known as the cornea. This helps focus light properly to correct common vision needs like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Your journey starts with a detailed exam to see if surgery is safe and suitable for your eyes. Afterward, our friendly team walks you through how the procedure works, what healing looks like, and what to expect so you feel comfortable making a decision.


Surgery Options We Can Help You Explore
Every pair of eyes is unique, which means laser surgery is never a one-size-fits-all choice. The right approach for you depends on your eye shape, prescription, and daily routine.
At East Riverside Optometry, we guide you through each option, explaining how the procedures work and what recovery feels like. Our goal is to answer your questions clearly and help you make a decision that aligns with your lifestyle.
LASIK is a popular, gentle procedure used to correct vision. During the process, a surgeon creates a very thin flap on the front of your cornea to allow precise reshaping underneath. Once finished, the flap is smoothed back into place to heal naturally.
LASIK often offers a quick recovery time for many patients. Our team supports you with care before and after your procedure, making sure your eyes are monitored and healing comfortably every step of the way.
PRK is another common procedure that reshapes the cornea to help focus your sight. Unlike LASIK, PRK gently removes the thin surface layer of the cornea before reshaping, allowing that layer to grow back naturally over a few days.
PRK can be a helpful choice for patients with thinner corneas or active lifestyles. While the initial recovery takes a little longer than LASIK, it provides strong, dependable long-term stability for many people.
What Happens During Your Consultation
During your consultation, we perform a series of simple, painless checks to see if your eyes are a good match for laser surgery. These evaluations include measuring:
- Corneal thickness
- Pupil size
- Your current prescription and how recently it has changed
If surgery looks like a great path forward, we will walk through the potential benefits and considerations together. We will outline what care looks like before and after your procedure, helping you select the option that fits your needs.
