What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe and innovative procedure that can improve nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping a patient’s corneas. LASIK is an extremely popular procedure that has been improving eyesight for over 30 years. With LASIK, you can reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and contact lenses. To date, over 10 million Americans have undergone LASIK laser eye surgery to improve their vision.

Is LASIK Right for Me?
We’ve helped plenty of Gahanna patients improve their eyesight with LASIK, but it’s not for everyone. There are several factors that influence the safety and success of a LASIK surgery. Here are some of the factors that we use to determine whether you are a good candidate for LASIK:
Prescription Stability
It’s important to have a stable prescription before undergoing LASIK. If you don’t, you may require additional corrective surgeries as your eyes mature. You must be 18 years or older and have a stable prescription to undergo LASIK eye surgery.
Eye Health
Having healthy eyes is a prerequisite for a safe surgical experience, recovery, and overall result. Your eyes must be free from infection, injury, and certain chronic eye conditions to eligible for LASIK.
Overall Health
Some preexisting conditions and medications can complicate LASIK and the healing process afterwards. This is why it’s important to accurately disclose your medical history during your initial consultation.
Pupil Size
If you have large pupils, LASIK might not be the right procedure for you. Patients with large pupils can experience unpleasant LASIK side effects like halos, glares, starbursts, ghost images, and low contrast sensitivity, especially at night.
Prescription Severity
Patients with mild to moderate prescriptions are better candidates for LASIK than patients with severe errors. Having a severe prescription reduces the predictability of your LASIK outcome.
Cornea Thickness
LASIK laser eye surgery involves the reshaping of the cornea, so your corneas must be a sufficient thickness to undergo this procedure.
Schedule a LASIK Appointment Today
The best way to determine whether LASIK is right for you is to schedule an appointment. During your initial consultation, our doctors will perform an eye exam to determine whether you are a good candidate for this procedure. Fortunately, LASIK is just one of several surgical options that can improve refractive errors. If you aren’t a good candidate for LASIK, you may qualify for a similar procedure like Advanced Surface Treatment (AST). Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Our Other Vision Services
LASIK is one of our most popular procedures, but we also offer other eye care services. We provide the following eye care services to Gahanna, Ohio and the Greater Columbus area:
Cataract Surgery
As we age, our eyes naturally develop cataracts. Cataracts are a medical condition that occurs when the lens of the eye gradually becomes cloudier, leading to reduced image clarity. With cataract surgery, we can remove your cataracts and correct refractive errors all in one procedure. For more information on cataract surgery, visit our Cataract Surgery Page.
Implantable Lenses
Implantable lenses are used to replace cloudy cataract lenses or to supplement your eye’s natural lens. At Columbus Laser & Cataract Center, we offer the most advanced implantable lenses available, including monofocal, toric, multifocal, and phakic lenses. Visit our Implantable Lenses Page to learn more.
Dry Eye
Do you experience uncomfortable eye dryness or other symptoms like blurry vision, sensitivity to light, or difficulty wearing contacts? Columbus Laser & Cataract Center has a variety of treatments for dry eye, including LipiFlow. Visit our Dry Eye Page for more information.
Advanced Surface Treatment (AST)
If you’re not a good candidate for LASIK, you may qualify for a similar procedure called Advanced Surface Treatment (AST). AST is a more effective and comfortable procedure for patients with thin corneas, chronic dry eye, high prescriptions, and other conditions. For more information, visit our Advanced Surface Treatment Page.
