10 Apr Why Your Eye Exam Is the Perfect Time to Ask About LASIK
If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up and seeing clearly—without glasses or contact lenses—LASIK might be the answer. But how do you know if it’s right for you? The easiest way to find out is during something you already need to do every year: your regular eye exam.
That’s right! Your comprehensive eye exam is the perfect time to ask questions, get answers, and learn whether LASIK could be a good fit for your vision needs.
What Is LASIK?
LASIK is a popular vision correction procedure that can reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. It works by gently reshaping the cornea—the clear front part of the eye—so light focuses properly on the retina.
It’s quick, safe, and effective for many people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. But LASIK isn’t right for everyone—and that’s where your eye exam comes in.
Why Ask During Your Exam?
When you come in for your annual eye exam, our team is already checking your eye health, vision, and prescription. This is the ideal time to talk about LASIK because:
- We’re already evaluating your overall eye health
- We can measure things like your prescription and corneal thickness
- We can discuss your vision goals and lifestyle
- It doesn’t require a separate visit—just ask while you’re here!
We’ll also check whether your prescription has stayed stable. If it has, that’s a good sign you might be ready for a LASIK consultation.
What If You’re a Good Candidate?
If your exam shows that LASIK might be a good option, the next step is scheduling a dedicated consultation. During that visit, we’ll take a closer look at your cornea and answer any questions you have about the procedure, recovery, and results.
And don’t worry—we’re here to help, not pressure you. Our goal is to give you all the information you need to make the right decision for your eyes.

You don’t have to wonder about LASIK. You can get real answers during your next eye exam! Whether you’re tired of glasses or just curious about your options, we’re here to help you explore what’s possible.
