While LASIK has been available as an effective vision enhancement solution since the early 1990s, many people still do not know the basics behind this breakthrough technology. If you are interested in LASIK, then you likely have many questions regarding the procedure. To help clear things up, here are the top 5 FAQs typically asked about LASIK:



What Vision Results Can I Expect From LASIK?

The ultimate goal of LASIK is to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and contacts. At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center, our patients have an impressive history of achieving amazing vision results. Dr. David Kleiman and Dr. Anthony Evangelista have performed thousands of LASIK procedures with a vast majority of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. With the help of the advanced, all-laser Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK procedure, your opportunity for incredible vision has never been better.

How Much Does LASIK Cost?

The cost of LASIK varies depending on the technology that will be used to correct your vision. Less advanced LASIK procedures such as those that use a blade may be more affordable, but may not deliver the level of accuracy necessary to deliver optimal results.

At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center, our Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK is an affordable procedure that delivers state-of-the-art results. The actual price you pay varies depending on the level of correction that your vision requires. Because of this, we invite you to come into Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center for a free VIP consultation to learn just how affordable your LASIK procedure will be.

Does LASIK Hurt?

Very few Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center patients complain about pain during the procedure. Dr. David Kleiman and Dr. Anthony Evangelista, will use topical anesthetic to numb your eyes so you will not feel anything other than a mild pressure sensation. You may also be given a mild sedative to help you relax. Plus, our Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK helps to minimize discomfort by eliminating the blade from the LASIK procedure.

Is LASIK Safe?

LASIK has continued to evolve over the years and is now considered to be safer than ever. Thousands of patients at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center have enjoyed improved vision with absolutely no complications. Currently, vision-reducing complications are estimated to be at less than one percent. To minimize risks, patients at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center are thoroughly screened to ensure they are good candidates for LASIK.

Is LASIK Permanent?

The LASIK procedure is meant to be permanent. However, each person's eyes are different and have the potential to change over time. If you are concerned about requiring a second LASIK procedure, be aware that Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center offers additional corrections at no additional charge.

It is important to note that LASIK does not eliminate the possibility for future eye conditions such as presbyopia (over-40 vision) or cataracts. These disorders occur independently from the LASIK procedure, and therefore could still affect your vision in the future.
