This combination of experience and technology allows for highly precise, customized LASIK treatments designed to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

What Is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is an advanced laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve how the eye focuses light. By correcting nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism, LASIK can provide clearer, sharper vision.

Trusted by millions worldwide, LASIK is widely regarded as one of the safest and most effective elective procedures, with a long track record of high patient satisfaction.

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?

LASIK can be a safe and effective option for many patients. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are at least 18 years old
  • Have a stable vision for at least one year
  • Have myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
  • Have healthy corneas and no significant eye disease

At CCRS locations in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Sherman Oaks, every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether LASIK is the safest and most effective option.

Because CCRS offers LASIK, SMILE, EVO ICL, and refractive lens exchange (RLE), each recommendation is personalized based on your eyes, lifestyle, and long-term vision goals.

Dr. Paul C. Lee personally reviews all diagnostic testing and discusses each patient’s surgical options to recommend the procedure best suited to maximize visual outcomes.

Who Is Not a Candidate for LASIK?

LASIK is not ideal for everyone. You may not be a candidate if you:

  • Are under 18 years old
  • Have unstable vision
  • Have very high prescriptions
  • Have thin or irregular corneas (e.g., keratoconus)
  • Have significant dry eye or eyelid inflammation

CCRS offers alternatives such as SMILE, EVO ICL, and RLE to ensure optimal outcomes.

LASIK is one of the most successful elective procedures in modern medicine, with consistently high accuracy in achieving the target vision and patient satisfaction rates.
