LASIK is now the vision correction procedure of choice for many ophthalmologists worldwide. Instead of removing the surface epithelium with the laser and exposing many nerve endings (as in PRK), the surgeon performing LASIK uses a motor-powered microkeratome to create a "flap." The flap is then lifted and reflected back, allowing a computer guided Excimer laser (cold laser) to use light pulses to remodel the corneal tissue underneath. Afterward, the flap is gently positioned back onto the cornea. Since this procedure is less traumatic to the outer surface of the eye, vision is restored more quickly and the patient's discomfort is reduced. Most patients report greater comfort after surgery and can generally drive two to three days after the surgery.

If you have an optometrist that you visit regularly and feel comfortable talking with, he/she may be able to provide you with additional information regarding vision correction procedures. Many optometrists can also perform your pre-surgical exam and provide you with your follow-up care after surgery. This is called co-management.

If you are interested in pursuing a vision correction procedure with your optometrist's assistance, we suggest that you ask him/her if they have met with Dr. Liang and if he has trained them in the co-management of vision correction procedures.

Listed below are several optometrists with whom Dr. Liang frequently co-manages patients. You are welcome to contact them for additional information on any vision correction procedure. If you would like the name of additional optometrists in your area, please contact us.
