What Patients Ought To Know

Lasik Beverly Hills center by Andrew Caster MD – Voted Best Lasik Surgeon in LA

When talking about health, most Los Angelenos undergo strict dietary practices and intense exercise regimens for the perfect body. Many times, they overlook other important things like their eyesight, instead opting to wear contact lenses and glasses which deteriorate vision over time. Lasik can help. Your eyes are just as important and a drive down to the Beverly Hills Lasik center (Caster Eye Center by Dr Andrew Caster) for Lasik or Laser eye surgery is all it takes.

There are many upsides to having Lasik (laser in-situ keratomileusis) performed. Just think about all the hassles you’ll get rid of the minute you restore your 20/20 vision!

  • Permanent results
  • Not having to wear glasses or contacts ever again
  • The procedure is fast and simple
  • In the long run, it’s an investment

The procedure is fast, simple, and painless. A numbing medication will be applied and an instrument will be used in order to keep your eye open. A flap will be created on your cornea with a laser to enter and reshape the eye. Once the flap is placed back on the cornea, it recovers without the need for stitching.
If you’re thinking about becoming a candidate for Lasik, you should switch from contact lenses to glasses right away before you schedule a consultation. Contact lenses can distort the cornea and you won’t have a proper measurement. Once you’ve been approved for surgery, it’s important that you’re cautious of things that you’re doing that way you’ll have a successful recovery.

Ladies (and gentleman), keep makeup and creams to a minimum as the debris from them can cause infections. Have eye drops handy as moisture is key to a speedy recovery. Finally, get a friend or family member to drive you back home after the procedure.
