What to Expect During LASIK Surgery

If the idea of LASIK makes you nervous, knowing what to expect can ease your mind. At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, we guide you through every step.

Does LASIK Hurt?

Most patients feel little to no pain thanks to numbing eye drops. You may feel slight pressure during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal.

How Long Does LASIK Take?

• The actual laser treatment: less than a minute per eye
• Total procedure time: about 15 minutes

Yes, it’s that quick!

Step-by-Step Overview*

1. Numbing drops are applied
2. A flap is created in the cornea
3. The laser reshapes the cornea
4. The flap is repositioned to heal naturally

Both eyes are typically treated during the same session.
