Common Questions About LASIK Surgery

Does LASIK permanently fix eyes?

Expand F.A.Q.

LASIK eye surgery provides long-lasting vision correction by permanently reshaping your cornea. While the procedure itself creates permanent changes to your eye's structure, natural aging processes may affect your vision over time. Most patients maintain their improved vision for many years after LASIK, though some may experience minor changes as they age. At Kraff Eye Institute, we provide comprehensive post-operative care and guidance to help maintain your vision results long-term.

Is LASIK eye surgery in Chicago safe?

Expand F.A.Q.

LASIK has an exceptional safety record, particularly when performed by experienced surgeons using advanced technology. At Kraff Eye Institute in downtown Chicago, we utilize state-of-the-art VISX laser technology and advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure precise, safe procedures. Our involvement in FDA clinical trials and Dr. Kraff's extensive experience performing over 70,000 laser procedures demonstrate our commitment to safety and excellence in vision correction surgery.

Are you awake during LASIK?

Expand F.A.Q.

Yes, you remain awake during LASIK surgery, but there's no need for concern. We provide numbing eye drops to ensure your comfort, and the procedure typically takes only about 15 minutes per eye.
