At Liberty Laser Eye Center, patient results, as well as customer service, are our highest priorities. We work with your primary eye care provider both pre- and post-operatively. Here is what to expect during your LASIK procedure.

Your Initial Consultation

Your Initial Consultation

Schedule your free LASIK consultation at Liberty Laser Eye Center. During this evaluation, Dr. Tanchel will perform specialized eye tests to determine if you’re a good candidate for LASIK.

These precise measurements guide Dr. Tanchel for customized laser treatment to correct your vision. You’ll also need to visit your primary eye care provider for additional tests, including a dilated eye exam.

Preparing for Your LASIK Surgery

Once your candidacy for laser vision correction is confirmed, Dr. Tanchel will work closely with you to select the most appropriate laser vision correction procedure. She’ll walk you through every step, from pre-surgery preparation to what you can expect during and after the procedure.

You’ll be informed about necessary precautions, the recovery process, and follow-up care.

Additionally, Dr. Tanchel will address any concerns or questions you have and provide detailed information on financing options to help make your treatment more affordable and accessible.

Preparing for Your LASIK Surgery

Your LASIK Procedure

Your LASIK Procedure Step-by-Step

You’re ready for LASIK, and the process is designed to be as smooth and comfortable as possible. The procedure begins with anesthetic drops applied to your eyes, ensuring they are completely numb and you remain relaxed throughout.

The procedure typically takes around 10-15 minutes per eye. While vision improvement begins soon after, some initial blurriness is normal as your eyes heal. Dr. Tanchel will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, including using prescribed eye drops and wearing protective shields to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Your Recovery

Recovery and Follow-up Care After LASIK

Most people return to work and normal activities within 24- 48 hours after their procedure. Keep in mind you must be seen for a post-op appointment the next day. NO rubbing the eye! NO swimming or contact sports for at least one week and avoid excessive use of alcoholic beverages for a few days following surgery as it causes dehydration, which can increase dry eye symptoms.

You will be provided with specific post-operative instructions from our patient counselor prior to your treatment. Dr. Tanchel may offer specific advice depending on your lifestyle, interests, and clinical exam.
