How LASIK Works

Reshape Your Cornea. See Clearly for Life.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) uses a precise excimer laser to reshape the cornea — correcting the refractive errors that cause nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

The procedure takes less than 15 minutes per eye, is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better by the day after surgery. Hill Country Eye Center works with leading LASIK surgeons to ensure you receive the best candidacy assessment and seamless post-operative care.

Candidacy

Are You a Good Candidate for LASIK?

✓ Good Signs

Age 18 or older with stable prescription for 1+ year
Myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism within treatable range
Adequate corneal thickness for safe ablation
No history of significant dry eye disease
Healthy corneas with normal topography
Realistic expectations about outcomes

✗ Possible Disqualifiers

Thin corneas or irregular topography (keratoconus)
Unstable or rapidly changing prescription
Severe dry eye disease
Autoimmune conditions affecting healing
Pregnancy or nursing
Extreme prescription outside laser range

Not sure if you qualify? The only way to know for certain is a comprehensive evaluation — and many patients who were told they're not candidates elsewhere may still qualify with modern laser technology.

Get Evaluated — No Obligation
The Process

What to Expect from Start to Finish

1

Comprehensive Candidacy Evaluation

We perform a full corneal mapping, prescription analysis, dry eye screening, and topography review to determine if LASIK is right for you. Typically 1.5–2 hours.

2

Surgical Referral & Scheduling

If you're a candidate, we coordinate with a trusted surgical partner. We provide them with your full diagnostic workup and remain your point of contact throughout.

3

LASIK Procedure

The procedure itself takes less than 15 minutes per eye. The laser treatment typically takes under 60 seconds. You'll be given a sedative and anesthetic drops — most patients feel no pain.

4

Post-Operative Care (Day 1 – Week 1)

We see you in our Cedar Park office the day after surgery and at your 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month visits. Most patients notice dramatically improved vision within 24 hours.

5

Long-Term Follow-Up

We continue as your local eye care provider for annual exams, any enhancement evaluation, and any future eye health needs. Your vision is our long-term responsibility.
