Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Craig S. Bindi
Sourced directly from Dr. Craig S. Bindi's social posts and replies.
What is the patient experience like during LASIK at your practice?
Patients are made comfortable with numbing eye drops and a Valium pill to help them relax. The procedure itself is not painful, involves no IVs, injections, blades, or blood, and consists solely of laser treatments. Patients can even play their preferred music during their visit or procedure.
How long does the LASIK procedure take?
Patients typically spend about 15 minutes in the laser room, with the actual laser treatment lasting only 10 to 15 seconds.
What is the recovery process and activity restrictions after LASIK?
LASIK requires an overnight recovery period, and most patients can drive and resume the majority of their normal activities the very next day. However, patients are advised to refrain from certain activities like swimming pools, lakes, ponds, or streams for at least one week. All specific post-LASIK activity guidelines will be thoroughly reviewed during your preoperative visit.
How can I determine if I am a candidate for LASIK?
The practice provides a method, accessible via a link in their bio, for individuals to determine their LASIK candidacy. The suitability of modern vision correction procedures depends on individual eye anatomy, corneal shape, eye length, and other measurements.
What happens if I don't achieve my desired vision goals immediately after laser vision correction?
While it's a very rare scenario not to achieve desired vision results immediately after surgery, the practice is committed to supporting patients throughout their journey. They utilize a variety of techniques and technology to improve vision and help patients achieve their desired results, even if not met immediately.
What is Keratoconus and how is it treated?
Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the clear transparent membrane of the eye (cornea) bulges forward or forms a cone shape, and it needs to be halted. Corneal cross-linking is a procedure that prevents its progression.
Can I get vision correction if I have Keratoconus?
Yes, modern vision correction can be performed after keratoconus stabilization and after a cross-linking procedure. Options include Evo-ICL (a contact lens implanted inside the eye), custom lens replacement, and even laser vision correction, depending on your individual eye anatomy, corneal shape, and other measurements.
