Don't let the short trip from Morton Grove hold you back from experiencing the best in LASIK eye surgery. Your journey to clearer vision starts here in the heart of Chicago.
Recovery time after LASIK surgery in Chicago is typically quite quick. Most patients experience improved vision within 24 hours of the procedure. However, it's important to note that everyone's eyes heal at different rates. In the bustling environment of Chicago, you'll want to take extra care during your recovery.
We recommend taking a day or two off work to rest your eyes. This is particularly important if you have a job that requires extensive screen time or if you work in an environment with potential eye irritants, such as construction sites common in Chicago's ever-evolving cityscape.
While you'll likely be able to resume most normal activities within a day or two, we advise Morton Grove patients to avoid driving back home immediately after the procedure. Instead, arrange for someone to drive you or consider staying overnight in downtown Chicago. This not only ensures your safety but also makes it easier to attend your next-day follow-up appointment.
Full stabilization of your vision can take a few weeks to a few months. During this time, you'll be able to enjoy Chicago's beautiful sights with your improving vision, from the intricate architecture along the Magnificent Mile to the stunning views from the Willis Tower Skydeck.
In Chicago, as in the rest of the United States, there are some general age guidelines for LASIK surgery, but it's important to remember that each case is unique. At Kraff Eye Institute, we evaluate each patient individually to determine if LASIK is the right choice,regardless of age.
The FDA has approved LASIK for individuals 18 and older. However, many surgeons, including those at our Chicago practice, prefer to wait until patients are in their early 20s. This is because vision can continue to change throughout adolescence and early adulthood.
There's no upper age limit for LASIK, but as we age, other vision issues may arise that make different procedures more appropriate. For instance, many of our patients from Morton Grove in their 50s or 60s may be better candidates for procedures like refractive lens exchange,which can address both refractive errors and early cataracts.
In the diverse and multigenerational city of Chicago, we see patients of all ages. Whether you're a young professional working in the Loop, a middle-aged parent from Morton Grove, or a retiree enjoying Chicago's cultural scene, we'll work with you to determine the best vision correction option for your unique situation.
The cost of LASIK in Chicago can vary depending on several factors, including the specific technology used, the complexity of your prescription, and the experience of your surgeon. At Kraff Eye Institute, we believe in transparent pricing and providing value that matches the high quality of care we deliver.
In the Chicago area, including for our patients from Morton Grove, LASIK typically costs between $2,000 to $3,000 per eye. This might seem higher than some national averages, but it's important to consider what you're getting for your investment. In Chicago, you have access to some of the nation's top LASIK surgeons and the most advanced technology available.
At Kraff Eye Institute, our prices reflect our commitment to using state-of-the-art equipment, our extensive experience, and our comprehensive care approach. This includes not just the LASIK procedure itself, but also your initial consultation, pre-operative care,and all post-operative follow-up visits.
We understand that this is a significant investment in your vision and overall quality of life. That's why we offer various financing options to make LASIK more accessible for our Chicago and Morton Grove patients. Many of our patients find that when they calculate the long-term costs of glasses, contact lenses, and related eye care products,LASIK often proves to be a cost-effective solution in the long run.
Remember, your vision is invaluable. While cost is certainly a factor to consider, it shouldn't be the only one. The expertise of your surgeon, the technology used, and the quality of care you receive are crucial elements that contribute to a successful LASIK outcome. At Kraff Eye Institute, we're committed to providing Morton Grove residents with the highest standard of care, helping you achieve the clear, dependable vision you deserve.
