Lasik Eye Surgery

At Lifetime Eyecare, we provide comprehensive care to meet the vision needs of our patients. Our doctors offer pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing LASIK eye surgery or other eye surgical procedures. Our goal is to help you attain the clearest vision possible using advanced technologies.

Evaluation and Referral
LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery uses that latest advancements in technology to provide faster recovery times and precise results. LASIK surgery has been effective in treating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye conditions. At Lifetime Eyecare, we provide evaluations and referrals for patients interested in LASIK surgery. The doctors perform a complete review of your patient history as well as a full assessment of your eye health and vision. A current exam is important to determining if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery and if there are any other factors that may affect your results. The history review enables our optometrists to determine if your prescription is stable and you are healthy enough to consider surgery.

Once the doctors have performed the evaluation and determined whether you are a candidate for LASIK, you will be given a referral to the LASIK surgery center we have worked with on an ongoing basis. The center will perform advanced diagnostic testing and will evaluate your eligibility for surgery. Various surgery options will be discussed with you if you are determined to be a surgical candidate. We will be in correspondence with the center regarding your evaluation and surgical determination. If you are considering LASIK surgery, call us at 616-457-0760 to schedule a consultation.

Post-Operative Care
Once your surgery is scheduled, we will schedule follow-up appointments for you in our office. Typically, you will begin these follow-ups the day after the surgery and continue at prearranged times over the following six months. After 1 year, a full exam is recommended to determine the long-term results of your procedure. Our doctors are experienced in working with patients pre- and post-operation and will answer any questions that you have along the way. If you have questions about LASIK surgery, call 616-457-0760 to speak with our knowledgeable staff or email us.

Advantages of LASIK
If you have worn glasses or contact lenses for a long time, you may have wondered if LASIK surgery is a good choice for you. While not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, it does have some great advantages. People who play sports, have allergies, or who are looking for simplicity will all benefit from LASIK.

  • "Everyone there is very professional. I saw Dr Allen Smith and I think that I got a much better prescription for my lenses than I had previously from a different office. He took time with my exam to make sure that everything was correct. Since my husband did not come with me, I was glad that the office staff took time with me to find frames that worked well. They were very helpful. I have been happy for the last 2 years with the glasses I purchased there."

  • "Dr Smith is Friendly and funny . The entire staff is very friendly and helpful !!! I won't go anywhere else for my eye care and glasses. I love their honest opinion on what frames looks good on me."

  • "I was having trouble with my vision being strained from overuse at work. Dr. Gdowski took the extra time needed to identify the problem, and find a solution that worked best for me. My new computer glasses have completely solved my eye strain, and I couldn't be happier! My Optician, Tiffany, was extremely knowledgeable about the types of lenses, their strengths and weaknesses, and the frames that Lifetime Eyecare offers. She had me not only seeing correctly, but looking great too!"

  • "Five Stars all the way around! The entire staff are personable, knowledgeable professionals who always greet me with a smile and treat me like I'm their best customer. The congenial atmosphere in this office puts fun into a medical procedure. Their professional work gives me ultimate confidence that with Dr Smith and staff my eyes are in good hands!"

  • "I haven't been to this office since my last eye exam as a kid over a decade ago; but I'm SO glad I came back to this office (even though my original eye doc retired)! The staff is very friendly, and I was VERY impressed with Dr. Smith. He is incredibly great at what he does while also takes an interest in who you are as a person; you can tell he's into forming relationships with patients and I think that's important. Will definitely return to this office in the future!"

  • "I've been a patient at Lifetime Eyecare for the past 19 years. The staff is amazing, and I consistently receive the highest quality of care from the physicians and staff. My son had one visit here and they are absolutely wonderful with children! Everyone takes the time to explain things well and consider all factors in my care very carefully. I highly recommend this practice!"
    Tammi
  • "The best vision care facility I've ever been to. Dr. Smith and his staff are simply amazing. Professional. Caring. Kind. Costs are fair and the skill of diagnosis and explaining what choices you can make are clear and concise. The atmosphere of this clinic is also top notch with people who work as a unit to respect your time, pocketbook, and convenience. I will never use another facility or doctor than Dr. Smith."
    Wayne
  • "I had a great experience with Dr. Gdowski. She gave me the most thorough eye exam I've ever had and I got my first new pair of glasses in 10+ years. Dr. Gdowski and my optician Tiffany talked to me about the importance of blocking harmful blue light and protecting my eyes after long days on a computer. They put me in an Eyezen lens and my eyes have never felt better!"
