California laser eye surgery begins with a thorough eye exam. This initial exam will allow your doctor to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for lasik. It will also help your surgeon to explain the projected outcome of such a surgery. After the initial exam you will be told that you are either an excellent candidate, a fair candidate or in some cases, not a candidate at all.

If you do proceed with California lasik vision correction, you may be shocked by how easy it is. The actual procedure is done on an outpatient basis and you will remain awake the entire time. California laser eye surgery will begin with some numbing eye drops. There will be no pain. Within minutes, a corneal flap will be made and a cool laser will change the shape of the cornea so that it can better reflect light.

That's all it takes. You will shortly go home with a list of instructions detailing post-operative eye care. California laser eye surgery is a safe and effective procedure, but as with any surgery there is a mild risk of infection. That is why it is essential that you are responsible about post-care instructions (which really are not difficult).

For those of us who can't imagine awakening each morning to a clear scene, this surgery is an incredible option. It is also important to note that even if there is some error in visual correction it can usually be fixed in a follow-up procedure.
