My eyes are really bad… can laser vision correction help me?
Most patients who wear glasses or contact lenses can be helped with laser vision correction. There are always some rare patients who really are too extreme for laser correction. A complimentary consultation will answer this and many other questions for you.

I have astigmatism. Can you correct that?
Most patients that have astigmatism can be successfully treated with laser vision correction.

I'm farsighted. Can you correct that?
Most patients with farsightedness can also now be corrected with laser vision correction. Farsightedness, however, is different from presbyopia, which causes most people over 40 years old to need reading glasses. Our laser vision coordinator will help you determine if you are farsightedness or dealing with age-related presbyopia.

In either case, there is a treatment available for you.

When will I be able to go back to work?
In general, the recovery from LASIK is extremely rapid. Most patients are able to drive by themselves the day after surgery. Procedures are performed on Thursday and some patients return to work the day after. Our recommendation is to take Friday off and return to your normal schedule on Monday.

Will it hurt?
Pain is not ordinarily a word that is used to describe laser vision correction. A certain amount of anxiety is normal, but patients generally report how surprised they are that they had no pain during or after the procedure.

Do you offer a financing program?
We offer a wide variety of payment options. Visa and MasterCard are accepted and we offer a very good financing program through Vision Fee Plan. Pre-approval is available at www.visionfeeplan.com.

Why should I choose Dr. Eisner?
One visit to our office will help you make that decision. The personal care and attention each patient receives is our highest priority. Dr. Eisner offers the most advanced technology available today with absolutely the most experience in Central Georgia . He personally performs your comprehensive eye examination, discusses your exam with you, and answers all of your questions. He will use these measurements to plan and perform your procedure, and he will provide all of your postoperative care.

How long do I need to go without contact lenses before my exam?
Contact lenses can affect the shape of the eye, and therefore, the exam measurements that are performed. The time period for going without them ranges from 3 days to several weeks, depending on the type of contact lenses you wear. When you call for your complimentary screening appointment, you will be instructed how long to keep your contact lenses out.

I am confused about LASIK and different laser vision procedures. How do I know for certain if I am a good candidate?
There are several levels of inquiry that an individual may explore to answer this question. The first is general research, such as viewing information on the Internet or printed literature. This is a good first step, but it is not personalized. The next step is to have a complimentary laser vision consultation in our office. This allows you to combine general information about refractive surgery with specific information about your eyes. With the combination of the VISX WavePrint® system and CustomVue LASIK enriched with Intralase, the information is now more precise than ever before and the results are better than ever. The final step is the comprehensive eye examination performed personally by Dr. Eisner. At that time, Dr. Eisner combines all of the information from the examination. He will discuss this information with you, determine your candidacy for the procedure, and answer all of your questions.
