LASIK Surgery from Our Ophthalmologist near You in New Bern and Greenville, NC

At Singleton Vision Center, we specialize in helping patients achieve clearer vision with LASIK surgery. This safe and effective procedure reshapes the cornea to correct common refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Many patients choose LASIK to reduce or even eliminate their need for glasses or contact lenses, enjoying the freedom of sharper vision with minimal downtime.

How LASIK Works

LASIK is performed using a specialized laser to create a thin flap on the cornea. The surgeon then reshapes the underlying tissue to improve how light is focused onto the retina. Once the adjustment is complete, the flap is gently repositioned, where it heals naturally without stitches. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes. Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours, with results continuing to sharpen in the days and weeks that follow.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A thorough eye exam is required to determine candidacy. Ideal LASIK candidates are generally over 18, have a stable glasses or contact prescription, and healthy corneas. Patients with severe dry eye, thin corneas, or certain medical conditions may not qualify, but our surgeons can recommend safe alternatives tailored to your vision needs.

Recovery & What to Expect

It’s common to experience mild irritation or blurry vision immediately after LASIK, but these effects typically improve within a few hours. Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two. Following postoperative instructions—such as using prescribed eye drops and avoiding eye strain—is essential for proper healing. Regular follow-up visits with our doctors ensure your recovery stays on track.

The Benefits of LASIK

LASIK has an excellent track record of success, offering long-term vision correction with minimal recovery time. Patients often enjoy:

• Clearer vision within 24 hours
• Reduced or eliminated need for glasses or contacts
• Quick, comfortable recovery
• Long-lasting improvement in daily quality of life
