The LASIK Procedure Explained What happens during LASIK?

LASIK is now the most popular procedure to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism in the world. Its popularity is founded on the high rate of patient satisfaction, excellent visual results, quick recovery, and the existence of very few side effects or complications.

LASIK is performed under a hinged flap of corneal tissue. Once the flap is created and folded back, the excimer laser removes corneal tissue, reshaping the underlying tissue to correct any vision abnormalities. The corneal flap is then relocated over the treated area where it bonds with no need for stitches. LASIK patients experience little, if any discomfort. Functional vision returns very rapidly, with the majority of patients seeing well enough to drive in a day or two, without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Dr. Perraut's Experience

L. Edward Perraut, Jr. M.D., Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Virginia, has over 20 years of ophthalmic experience, and has been performing laser vision correction since 1999. He has performed more than 50,000 LASIK laser eye surgeries and is ranked in the top 5% of LASIK surgeons in the entire country.

Dr. Perraut has been recognized by VISX as a “Visx Star Surgeon” and he lectures regularly on laser vision correction, especially on the latest technology. He also teaches other LASIK surgeons how to perform the procedure. Before going into LASIK, he was one of the premier surgeotns for laser treatment of retinal disorders in the Washington, D.C. area.

Dr. Perraut’s experience and knowledge are what sets him apart and what gives his patients the utmost confidence and sense of security. As a recipient of LASIK himself, he is able to easily relate to all of his patients and enjoys helping them receive the incredible benefits of LASIK surgery.

“Dr. Perraut was great, he’s a fantastic doctor. I would definitely without reservation recommend Dr. Perraut and the LASIK surgery itself. It’s just simply life changing.”

Megan Delaney

“I was extremely nervous going into it, but I think many people are nervous because it’s your eyes. But Dr. Perraut talks you through the whole thing and tells you exactly how long things are going to take. It was very quick and was over before I knew it! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Perraut. I simply would not trust my eyes to anyone else.”

Kevin Branson

“Few things that have happened in such a brief period of time that have changed my life as dramatically as having LASIK. There’s just a whole level of freedom in being able to get up and walk out of the house without having to worry about replacing my contacts or where my glasses are. If anybody is having doubts, I would strongly recommend they go through with it!”

Danielle Fegan

“My dad and mom came to LASIKPRO and said that Dr. Perraut is awesome. After my LASIK surgery I definitely agree. Not only can I see without glasses or contacts now, but the whole experience was very personable. Dr. Perraut and the staff made everything very easy. I can read road signs, the clock when I wake up, and the television all without glasses or contacts! This has been such a great experience for me especially because now I can see the chalkboard to take notes in school. The staff here is so nice and caring and I would recommend LASIKPRO to anyone.”

“Having 20/20 vision now after wearing glasses or contacts every day since I was in seventh grade…it blew me away! I would tell anyone who needs vision correction: run – do not walk – to Dr. Ed Perraut at LASIKPRO.”

Deanna Pelton,

Firefighter, Hagerstown, MD
“Dr. Perraut made my LASIK experience painless and worry-free. Thanks to LASIKPRO, I no longer struggle with the special equipment needed for prescription glasses during fire-fighting. I would recommend him to any brothers or sisters in my profession.”

Dr. Perraut was highly recommended to me by my siblings, three of which have had LASIK by him. I had surgery on both eyes. The staff could not have been kinder, and all were very professional. Only one day after surgery, my vision is 20/15. I can see my alarm clock when I wake up without fumbling around for my glasses. Swimming, water skiing and jogging without my glasses and contacts is going to be great! I highly recommend Dr. Perraut. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose LASIK with Dr. Perraut.

Nick Kercheval

“Dr. Perraut’s experience is what led me to LASIKPRO. He answered all my questions and was very straight forward and professional. I now have great vision and don’t have a need for contacts. I’m so glad I got Lasik because now I can read and ride my motorcycle. Overall, the staff at LASIKPRO was very professional and friendly and I had a positive experience.”

Luz M. Fuentes

“The primary reason I went to LASIKPRO was due to Dr. Perraut’s reputation and experience. I got Lasik in both eyes and now I can see without glasses or contacts for the first time in over 20 years! I’ll be able to go swimming, use a computer and participate in other outdoor activities thanks to Dr. Perraut.”
