What to Expect From Your LASIK Procedure

Your LASIK journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, including corneal topography, wavefront imaging, and a review of your visual goals. On procedure day, you’ll receive numbing drops to ensure comfort, and both eyes are typically treated in under 30 minutes.

Most patients notice significantly improved vision within hours. Over the next 1–2 days, clarity continues to sharpen. Dr. Cohen personally oversees every stage of the process—from pre-op measurements to post-op care.
