Laser Vision Correction
Dr. Collazo had Lasik surgery in 2002 and enjoys her 20/15 vision
every day!!!
Lasik (Laser In-situ Keratomileusis) is an exciting vision correction
option for those wishing to decrease all or most of their dependency
on glasses and contact lenses. Lasik uses a cool laser beam to
gently reshape the curvature of the front surface (cornea) of
your eye. Lasik can treat a broad target of nearsightedness, farsightedness,
and astigmatism in people who are at least 18years old, in good
health, and have no eye disease. The excimer laser can remove
as little as 1/40 of a human cell. This precision leaves the integrity
of the eye unchainged.
Dr. Collazo will perform an in-depth Lasik evaluation to determine
your candidacy on an individual case. Dr. Collazo will do a thorough
medical history, evaluate your eyes for any eye conditions, and
check your prescription to determine if it is stable. Once all
of the testing is completed and it is determined if you are a
candidate, Dr. Collazo will forward your records to the laser
eye center's laser eye surgeon.
The Lasik procedure usually takes about 10 minutes per eye to
perform. A microkeratome is used to create a protective flap of
tissue. this flap is temporarily folded back and computer controlled
pulses of cool laser are applied to the inner layers of the conrnea.
the inner layers are gently reshaped to duplicate your contact
lens or glasses prescription. The flap is closed and heals naturally.
Just like your eyes, not all laser vision correction privoders
are the same. To reduce the risk and get the best results from
your eye surgery, you need to carefully consider the reputation
and experience of the provider you choose. Dr. Collazo is a proud
