What is LASIK?

LASIK is a popular vision correction procedure that involves using specialized lasers to reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Most patients enjoy decades of freedom from glasses and contacts, along with crisp, clear vision that enhances every activity.

At Rockford Eye & Laser Center, we combine compassion and expertise with state-of-the-art technologies, including the Ziemer femtosecond laser and the VISX S4 excimer laser, to improve the safety, personalization, and effectiveness of our LASIK procedures. We also use the latest iDesign aberrometer, which is the first and only topography-integrated, wavefront-guided treatment, resulting in superior vision quality with a lower risk of complications.

Each procedure takes just 10-15 minutes to complete and is virtually painless. Many patients experience visual improvements right away and can return to normal activities the next day.

Patient Testimonials

"LASIK surgery was the best decision I ever made. I decided to do only my left eye and leave my right eye alone. I now have 20/15 in my left eye, which I use for distance, and use my right eye for reading. It has been 7 months since my laser surgery was done, and I would do it again."

- Janet

"Exceptionally happy with my newly acquired vision! LASIK has made my morning routine less of a chore and I'll never have to worry about losing my glasses or having my contacts fall out. Such a great feeling!"

- Daniel
