Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK in Chicago

Is LASIK surgery painful?

Expand F.A.Q.

You'll be glad to know that LASIK surgery is virtually painless. Our downtown Chicago facility uses advanced numbing eye drops to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. While you might feel slight pressure during the brief 15-minute treatment, most patients from Clearing report minimal discomfort. Our central location means you can return home to rest comfortably soon after the procedure.

How long after LASIK can I see Chicago landmarks in 20/20?

Expand F.A.Q.

Many patients achieve significantly improved vision within 24 hours after LASIK. You might even be able to clearly see Chicago's iconic skyline on your drive back to Clearing the next day for your follow-up appointment. While initial improvements are rapid, your vision will continue to stabilize over the next few weeks, with most patients achieving their optimal results within three months.

How long does LASIK last?

Expand F.A.Q.

LASIK creates a permanent change to your cornea, providing long-lasting vision correction. The procedure corrects your current vision prescription, and for most patients, the results remain stable for many years. (1) However, natural aging processes may affect your vision over time. Regular check-ups at our downtown Chicago location help ensure your eyes maintain optimal health and vision quality for years to come.
