If you are interested in Laser Vision correction, your  first step is to come in for a FREE consultation.

Many patients have chosen Weston Laser & Vision Institute for their lasik eye surgery needs. Should you feel unsure about what to expect from your visit and procedure, please read below to learn more about what Fort Lauderdale lasik patients can expect.

Come see the office and meet the staff.  We can asses your vision and discuss one to one your vision goals.  You will have a chance to meet and ask Dr. Mutyala your questions or concerns.  See if our laser center is right for you with out any obligation or pressure.

Once you have decided to have laser surgery, you may stay for a complete eye exam.  

During your exam we will carefully measure your prescription before and after we dilate your eyes.  The exam will determine if your eyes are healthy and that you are an excellent candidate for laser surgery.  Dr. Mutyala will discuss the risks and benefits to laser surgery as it pertains to your eyes.  

You may then schedule laser surgery anytime afterwards at your convenience.  

On the day of your surgery, Dr. Mutyala will go over what you can expect during the procedure and answer any questions you may still have.  

You will have a choice to take a small Valium to help you relax, and are then taken to the laser suite.

Dr. Mutyala uses a lid holder so that you will keep from blinking. Your vision goes dark for about 10 seconds when 

Dr. Mutyala creates the flap with the microkeratome.  Once this is done, you are asked to look up at a blinking green light while Dr. Mutyala does the laser treatment which only takes 30 to 60 seconds. 

The flap is then returned to it’s original position, and starts to heal without the need for any sutures.  

The surgery takes about 10 minutes total and Dr. Mutyala talks to you through the whole procedure.  Most people mention to us how there is no pain and how quickly it goes by. 

When you sit up after your surgery you should be able to see the clock on the wall and see people’s faces more clearly then before you walked into the laser room.  The vision is still slightly foggy but continues to improve every hour.

After the procedure, antibiotic drops are placed in your eyes and are instructed to use antibiotic drops for the next week, and frequent artificial  tears for a month.  We recommend that you take a 4-hour nap immediately after your surgery.  Take it easy the first week- no exercising, no swimming, no rubbing the eyes and no eye make-up.

Dr. Mutyala will see you the next day to make sure everything is perfect.  If you feel comfortable with your vision, you may be able to drive to your appointment without glasses for the first time in your life.

Most of our patients are referred to us by other happy patients. This is a great indication of just how satisfied our patients are with their results.  

We offer free personal consultations at Weston  Laser Vision Institute, so you can discover for yourself if laser vision correction can help you see more clearly.  

If you are ready now, call to schedule a complete vision exam.
