LASIK eye surgery provides long-lasting vision correction by permanently reshaping your cornea. While the procedure's effects are permanent, your eyes can naturally change over time due to aging. (1) Most patients from Avondale and across Chicago enjoy decades of clear vision after LASIK, though some may need minor adjustments as they age. Regular follow-up care at our downtown Chicago location helps ensure your vision remains crisp and clear for years to come.

At Kraff Eye Institute, we use advanced diagnostic equipment and the latest VISX laser technology to ensure precise, safe treatments.
