What is laser vision correction and how does is work?
Laser vision correction is a type of refractive surgery. The goal of any refractive surgical procedure is to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. In laser vision correction procedures such as LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), a cool beam of laser light reshapes the surface of the cornea. The cornea is the clear ‘window’ in front of your pupil. Reshaping this surface allows images that enter the eye to focus properly on the retina (the sensitive layer of tissue lining the back of the eye that allows you to see objects and images). LASIK and PRK are both FDA approved for treatment of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (irregular corneal shape).
How Much Does iLASIK Cost?
Maine Eye offers competitive pricing for LASIK procedures. Please contact laservision@maineeyecenter.com for specific details. Pricing includes one full year of post-operative care. Please be aware that most health insurance plans do not cover refractive surgeries, including LASIK, because they are considered cosmetic and elective.
