What to Expect
Your no-obligation consultation
Your first appointment at Greenberg LASIK will be a free and comprehensive consultation to ensure you are eligible for laser vision correction. Your pre-operative consultation is the first visit in your vision correction process. During your consultation, a specialist will conduct a series of painless tests which enables us to determine your candidacy.
Contact Lens Protocol
The following contact lens policy only applies if you would like to have surgery the week of your pre‑operative consult. Please remove your contact lenses before your procedure as follows:
- Soft: 1‑2 days in advance
- Extended Wear/Toric: 3 days in advance
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP): 3 weeks in advance
Watch Dr. Jason Greenberg explain what to expect during your appointment at his practices in Louisville, KY and Indianapolis, IN.
At this time, we will determine the best procedure for you, further explain the recommended vision correction procedure, and provide you with precise, surgery-specific pricing outlining the cost of laser eye surgery.
During your consultation at Greenberg LASIK, if you are determined to be a good candidate for LASIK, you’ll be given pre-operative instructions before your scheduled LASIK surgery.
What can I expect
during my LASIK surgery?
On the day of surgery, your LASIK specialist will explain the different steps you are about to go through, and provide you with all of the necessary post-operative instructions, such as how to use eye drops, and more.
Prior to your LASIK procedure, your eyes will be numbed using anesthetic eye drops and you may be offered a mild sedative to help you relax. The procedure generally requires 10 minutes of operating room time, during which the laser is used for less than a minute on each eye.
LASIK recovery
After LASIK surgery, you should plan to have a friend or family member drive you home and you will need to rest for the remainder of the day. You may experience some temporary mild irritation or discomfort, which can be treated with over‑the‑counter pain medication.
Dr. Greenberg will provide you with detailed post-surgical instructions and schedule you for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Patients typically resume regular activities within two days.
LASIK results
LASIK patients typically experience improved vision right after surgery. LASIK has a very high patient satisfaction rate, and many patients love the sense of freedom that they feel. Many LASIK patients feel more confident and appreciate the convenience that LASIK can bring to their lives.
