LASIK Surgeries of Dr. Dean Dornic
August 27th, 2008 | by admin |One of the main procedures performed in the office of Dr. Dean Dornic in Cary, North Carolina is the LASIK eye surgery, or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. Dr. Dean Dornic makes sure that each procedure performed in his office is safe, reliable and painless, and he has even done surgeries on friends, family members, peers and staff. When you receive LASIK surgery from Dr. Dean Dornic, you can look forward to an improvement in vision and a reduction or complete elimination of the need to wear contacts or glasses.
As Dr. Dean Dornic will explain when you visit his office to learn more about the surgery, this is a procedure that changes the way light is bent, or refracted, as it passes through the cornea. The LASIK surgeries performed by Dean Dornic and his team make it so the light focuses properly on the retina and objects can be seen clearly by the patient once they heal. And patients of Dr. Dean Dornic are usually out of the operating room within 30 minutes to an hour for both eyes.
When Dr. Dean Dornic and his team perform LASIK surgery, they use a device called a microkeratome that cuts a thin flap in the surface of the cornea. This may sound a bit frightening, but Dean Dornic makes sure that his staff administers the proper amount of anesthesia before each procedure so they can’t feel the instruments at all. Once they are anesthetized, Dr. Dean Dornic uses his modern instruments to lift the flap gently, at which point a laser beam is used to reshape the curvature of the cornea. At this point the flap can be closed and covered with a protective contact lens.
After receiving LASIK from Dr. Dean Dornic, patients can expect the flap to heal on its own within a few days, and there should not be any need for stitches. As with any surgeries there are risks, but this procedure has been improved greatly and there is an extremely minimal amount of risk for qualifying patients. Dean Dornic performs each LASIK procedure with integrity and there is little cause for concern.
