LASIK surgery is a common procedure used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This approach uses a laser to reshape the cornea to correct vision problems so that light refracted in the eye is properly focused. This procedure helps you have better vision and may even eliminate the need for corrective lenses altogether. For those receiving laser vision correction via LASIK by Dr. Walman, vision improvements can often be seen within 24 hours of the procedure. LASIK is a great option for candidates who meet all of the appropriate requirements in order to get the procedure and whose eyes have stabilized for at least 2 years. All requirements will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Walman to ensure the safety and satisfaction of the procedure. LASIK is not always the right corrective surgery for every patient but your doctor can help determine whether this approach would work for your specific vision needs.
Dr. Walman has over 30 years of experience and has performed over 50,000 LASIK procedures, which means he absolutely provides the best LASIK in Phoenix.

PRK, also known as photorefractive keratectomy, is a type of laser vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. PRK was the first type of laser vision correction and although LASIK is the more popular choice as the recovery is quicker, PRK offers various advantages over LASIK. The PRK procedure reshapes the cornea allowing light to properly focus on the retina. This is done by removing the outer layer of the cornea (which grows back within a few days), followed by reshaping the corneal tissue underneath. Recovery time from the PRK procedure is slightly longer than LASIK but it can be a better option for candidates who have already tried LASIK or whose cornea is too thin for the LASIK procedure.

If you are a candidate, Lasik is usually the best option because of its precision and rapid healing. Sometimes, it is safer to utilize PRK – a procedure that still gives us great precision but does take a little longer to heal. Everyone’s eyes are different; a consultation (which itself is free) with Dr. Walman will result in answers for you as to what technique your unique situation will work best for you.

Anesthesia with the eyedrops works very effectively. Some people will feel some mild pressure on the eyelids during the procedure, but the eye itself, after the eyedrops, is expected to be comfortable. After a Lasik procedure, there is a pain, like the sensation of getting sand in your eyes at the beach, for 5 hours. However, if you keep the eyes closed during this period of time, that pain is minimized. In addition, if you focus on the fact that this stage is consistently and reliably over within 5 hours, people get through this stage fine. Bottom line; we send you home to sleep, and by the next morning the eyes are feeling comfortable and are functioning.
It is impossible to see any details of the procedure; you will only see some colored lights.
Once the flap has been lifted, you will be directed to look at a red pinpoint of light. Some people wonder if they are going to mess things up if they happen to move and momentarily lose track of the light; not to worry, because the laser has a tracker that visually locks onto the eye, so that even if you move slightly, the head of the laser will move with you. You may slow things up, but you won’t mess things up.
For Lasik, you can return to normal activities and work by the next day. There will be some minor fluctuations in vision over the 3 month healing period, but you should be functional from Day 1.
When you come in for your free consultation, we will be able to determine if you are a candidate, and what type of procedure would be most appropriate for you. We can then discuss with you the cost for your procedure, and how to make it affordable for you.
Yes; we do have financing options to make the procedure affordable.
