Laser Vision Correction

Houston Ophthalmologist

If you have spent a lifetime dependent on glasses and contacts for clear vision, a simpler life may be in your future. Dr. Goffman’s office uses a laser vision correction procedure called Lasik eye surgery to correct a variety of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and more. Laser vision correction addresses these problems by reshaping the cornea.

You may be a candidate for laser vision correction if:

• You are at least 18 years old
• Your prescription has not changed over the last year
• You do not have history of eye disease or significant medical problems
• You are not pregnant or nursing

A Surprisingly Fast, Potentially Life-Altering Procedure

The laser correction procedure is performed while you are under local anesthetic, meaning that you are awake for the entire procedure. Although it is a fast procedure, some patients request a mild sedative due to their discomfort with the idea of being awake while Dr. Goffman is operating on your eye. To find out if you are a candidate, call (713) 467-0990 or (713) 461-8056 today!
