Patients have been coming to Dean Dornic at his Cary, North Carolina office for many years to receive the LASIK vision correction procedure. In fact, Dr. Dean Dornic has been offering this surgical procedure at his practice and other local facilities for ten years now. LASIK is a type of refractive laser eye surgery performed by ophthalmologists to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Compared to many other vision correction procedures that have been used in the past, LASIK is preferred in most cases because it requires less time for the patient’s recovery, and the patient feels less pain overall.
While LASIK is very popular among people who rely on glasses and contacts, it is not the only procedure that Dean Dornic and other refractive surgeons perform. It’s true that many patients choose LASIK from an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Dean Dornic because they want an alternative to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. In addition to standard LASIK surgery at his Cary practice, Dr. Dean Dornic also performs wave front-guided LASIK, LASEK, PRK, LTK, Intacs, CK, AK, refractive lens exchange and implantable contact lenses. While LASIK is a valuable and often preferable procedure, it is not a one-size-fits-all answer to vision problems.
Since LASIK is so popular and commonly accepted, it will remain the mainstay of doctors like Dean Dornic. After a patient comes to Dean Dornic and receives the LASIK surgery, if that is what they determined would be the best option, they can expect the eyes to heal on their own within a few days, and there should not be any need for stitches. People prefer the surgery for this reason, amongst others. There are risks with LASIK and all the many other refractive surgical procedures that Dean Dornic and his colleagues perform, though, which patients are warned about ahead of time. This procedure has been greatly improved, however, and there is an extremely minimal amount of risk for qualifying patients.
Doctors with the experience of Dean Dornic are able to perform each LASIK LASEK, PRK, LTK, Intacs, CK, AK, refractive lens exchange and implantable contact lenses procedure with integrity.
