LASIK

LASIK

We at Greenberg Laser Eye Center are dedicated to individualized care. Dr. Dana Greenberg and her staff at our Troy, Michigan location believe in personal attention and will spend time with you getting to know your specific needs. This begins with education. We encourage you to visit our office for a FREE LASIK consultation with Dr. Greenberg.

You will begin by meeting our LASIK counselor who will discuss the details of the LASIK procedure with you. We will then perform preliminary diagnostic tests to determine if you are a LASIK surgery candidate. Dr. Greenberg will carefully examine your eyes, review your testing, and answer any questions you may have.

You will see Dr. Greenberg for your LASIK consultation, pre-op testing, your LASIK procedure, and your follow-up visits. We believe our patients deserve and expect the finest care.

“If I had to list out the best things that have ever happened to me they would rank like this.
1. My Wife.
2. My Kids.
3. LASIK procedure through Dr. Greenberg

This was one of the biggest and best decisions I’ve ever made. Dr. Greenberg and the team were great throughout the entire process and are always open to questions. It was quick, painless and I was back to work the next day. Not having to mess with contact lenses or glasses has been a major win and for that I am grateful.

How LASIK Works

LASIK is the most commonly performed type of laser vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Dr. Greenberg performs all-laser LASIK using the Wavefront Optimized Wavelight laser with Iris Registration.

The LASIK procedure takes approximately 15 minutes to correct both eyes. You will go home with clear shields over your eyes for the first night following your procedure and you will be given a mild sleeping medication. Because of the extraordinary healing properties of your cornea, stitches are not needed after LASIK. The protective flap acts as a natural bandage, accelerating the healing process. You will return to see Dr. Greenberg the morning following your procedure for us to remove your eye shields and begin your drops.

LASIK offers a quick healing time and rapid visual recovery. Most patients see well immediately and can return to normal activities the following day. The only restrictions include no swimming, contact sports, or eye makeup for 2 weeks.


LASIK FAQ’s

How long has Greenberg Laser Eye Center been performing laser vision correction?

We have the first Michigan physician to perform LASIK. We have been performing laser vision correction since 1992. At our facility, you will see the same doctor for your consultation, pre-op testing, LASIK procedure, and your follow-up visits.

Can I get LASIK if I have astigmatism?

Astigmatism is accurately treated by LASIK along with your myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness) at NO additional cost.

How much does LASIK cost?

The cost of LASIK eye surgery can vary depending on factors such as the specific type of LASIK procedure chosen.

Does LASIK cost more based on the severity of my prescription?

No. We do not charge more for LASIK based on your prescription.

Who is not eligible for LASIK surgery?

People who are not eligible for LASIK surgery typically include those with:

  • Unstable or changing vision
  • Severe dry eye syndrome
  • Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Certain medical conditions or medications that may affect healing
  • Thin or irregular corneas

Individual eligibility is best determined through a consultation with Dr. Dana Greenberg.

What type of laser do you use for the LASIK procedure?

We use the Alcon WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser with Wavefront guided technology, the latest technology available.

How long does LASIK take?

LASIK takes approximately 15 minutes to treat both eyes. You will be at the facility for about 1½ hours.

Is LASIK painful?

There is no pain during the procedure. You will be given an oral sedative to relax you and anesthetic eye drops to numb your eyes.

How long before I can return to normal activities after LASIK?

One of the greatest benefits of LASIK is quick visual recovery. Most people return to normal activities the following day.

Are there any restrictions with LASIK?

There are very few restrictions with LASIK. You cannot swim, play contact sports, or wear eye makeup for 2 weeks.

Why is LASIK surgery not covered by insurance?

LASIK surgery is often considered an elective or cosmetic procedure because it is performed to improve vision rather than to treat a medical condition. Most health insurance plans do not cover elective procedures.

Do you offer LASIK financing?

Yes, we partner with CareCredit. CareCredit offers interest-free financing with low fixed monthly payments. Don’t forget you can use your flexible spending tax-free dollars for your LASIK procedure.
