What is LASIK or PRK?
LASIK or PRK performed at The Q Laser & Med Spa both use the iDESIGN® Refractive Studio from Johnson & Johnson. Because we have the fully integrated Johnson & Johnson platform, the iDESIGN Refractive Studio, the Visx Star 4 Eximer Laser and the iFS Instralase, we’re certified LASIK providers. Both laser procedures are designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. LASIK, as described below, uses a laser (Intralase Femtosecond Laser) to create the flap and an Excimer Laser to reshape the cornea. PRK, on the other hand, involves removing the epithelial surface manually and then the Eximer Laser to reshape the cornea. Both are capable of correcting a wide variety of refractive errors including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
What is the difference between LASIK and PRK?
Our surgeons believe that the use of the laser under a protective flap produces faster visual recovery, less pain and less scarring.
In PRK, the laser is used on the surface of the eye, and it takes several weeks for the surface to heal
and become smooth, allowing good vision. Steroid drops are necessary (usually for about 2 months) to help regulate healing. It is not as easy to repeat PRK, because of scarring and lack of predictability.
For these reasons, LASIK has become the refractive procedure of choice. There are some circumstances that make PRK preferable to LASIK. If this is the case, your physician will discuss this with you during pre-op evaluation.

How long has LASIK been performed?
Has LASIK technology become more advanced over the years?
Yes, technology has become more advanced over the years. The Eximer laser now includes an eye tracker as well as advanced software. Instead of using a bladed instrument called a microkeratome to create the flap, we use an advanced Intralase Femtosecond Laser. More importantly, the state-of-the-art technology in The Q Laser & Med Spa now includes the iDESIGN® Refractive Studio from Johnson & Johnson. This extraordinary technology allows every part of the cornea to be mapped with the greatest possible precision. It is this precision that allows for a customized treatment for every patient.
Who performs LASIK or PRK procedure?
How do I know what if I am a candidate for LASIK?
The ideal candidate is typically between the ages of 21-45 and very successful outcomes have been achieved on patients between the ages of 18-60 with stable vision.
Patient inclusion criteria for LASIK investigation:
- Up to 12.00 D myopia
- Up to 5.00 D hyperopia
- 6.0 D or less of astigmatism
- Minimum age: 18
- Maximum age: 60
- No systemic disease affecting outcome
- Realistic expectations
Who should not have LASIK?
What is the next step?
If you are considering LASIK, the first step is a LASIK screening. If you agree to proceed you will have a preop evaluation, which includes testing and an office visit with the surgeon. After the pre-op evaluation, the specialists at The Q Laser & Med Spa will discuss your vision goals and develop a customized treatment plan designed specifically for you.
To schedule your LASIK screening, please call 239-329-TheQ (8437).
What is the difference between a LASIK screening and a pre-op evaluation?
The LASIK screening is free.
The cost is $150 for the pre-op evaluation. If you have a LASIK or PRK procedure performed this will be applied to the cost of the procedure.
Can I have a LASIK screening and pre-op evaluation done on the same day?
What does the cost of the procedure include?
Why are we more expensive than others?
What if I wear contact lenses?
Do I need to bring my old records to my consultation?
Can the procedure be performed on both eyes at once?
How long does the LASIK procedure take?
Does LASIK hurt?
What if I blink?
I’m a very nervous person. Are you sure I can get through the procedure?
Yes. We specialize in dealing with anxious patients, and so far we have been able to get every patient through the procedure without a problem. Your doctor will talk you through the procedure, so there will be no surprises.
What are the restrictions following the procedure?
How soon do the eyes recover after LASIK?
When can I go back to work?
Typically, the day after the LASIK procedure, as your vision permits. It could be up to a week for PRK.
Do I need a driver on the day of the procedure?
What should I do right after the procedure?
How long is follow-up needed?
Will I have 20/20 vision after my LASIK?
What are my chances of not wearing glasses after the procedure?
This will depend on a number of factors, including your refractive error, your visual needs and even your personality. Almost 100 percent of patients can see well enough after the procedure to never require glasses for distance vision. It is important to understand that LASIK does not eliminate the need for reading glasses as you grow older.

What are the risks of the procedure?
What about patient safety?
Patients are carefully evaluated at their screening and preop to be sure they are good candidates. The Q Laser & Med Spa, like all Quigley offices, follows all current public health guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable patient experience.
If necessary, can I wear contact lenses after LASIK?
LASIK does not modify the cornea in a way that would prevent contact lens wear. Not being able to wear contact lens years after LASIK is an “urban legend” that probably got started because this was true for radial keratotomy, or RK.
