What is Rayner Eye Clinic & Surgery Center?

Rayner Eye Clinic and Surgery Center in Oxford, MS provides comprehensive eye care, advanced surgery, optical services, and specialty treatments.

What is LASIK eye surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the most common vision correction procedure performed in the US. Using advanced laser technology, we permanently reshape your cornea to allow you to see clearly without glasses or contacts. Nearly one million procedures are performed annually with a 96% success rate of achieving 20/20 vision or better.

How long does the LASIK procedure take?

The actual LASIK procedure takes approximately 10-20 minutes for both eyes. However, we advise patients to plan for 1-2 hours at our office for the entire appointment, which includes preparation and post-procedure monitoring.

Will both of my eyes be treated on the same day?

Yes! At Rayner Eye Clinic, we treat both eyes on the same day during the same appointment. This allows for optimal healing and the best post-surgical results.

Most patients report feeling no pain at all, only slight pressure during the procedure. Eye drops are used to numb your eyes before surgery. After LASIK, your eyes may feel scratchy or watery, but these symptoms are temporary and typically resolve within a day or two.

How soon will I be able to see?

Many patients begin to see clearly within a few hours after their LASIK procedure. Most achieve significant improvement within 2-3 days. While initial results are quick, full visual stabilization may continue over several weeks.

How soon can I return to work and normal activities?

You'll need to rest for a few hours immediately following your procedure, with your first post-op appointment the next day. Most patients can return to work 2 days after surgery. Normal activities can typically be resumed within one week, though this depends on your individual healing and visual acuity.

No, LASIK permanently corrects your refractive error. The results do not wear off. You'll enjoy clear vision without glasses or contacts for years to come.

What is the best age to have LASIK?

While many factors determine LASIK eligibility, people between ages 18-45 are generally considered ideal candidates. Your prescription should be stable for at least one year, and you must meet certain eye health criteria.

Does LASIK correct astigmatism?

Yes! LASIK can effectively correct astigmatism, along with nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Will my insurance cover my LASIK procedure?

Vision correction procedures are typically considered elective, which means insurance companies usually don't cover the costs. However, you can use funds from your HSA or FSA accounts to pay for LASIK.

What is LASIK?

Thanks to incredible advancements in technology, LASIK is now safer, more predictable, and available to a broader group of people. In other words, now is the perfect time for LASIK.

LASIK stands for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like other types of refractive surgery, the goal of LASIK is to improve your vision and help you achieve reduced or total independence from glasses and contact lenses.

The LASIK procedure permanently reshapes your cornea, allowing your eye to focus light more clearly on the retina, which leads to clearer, sharper vision.

All-Laser, Blade-Free LASIK

One of the most notable advancements in vision correction is the development of all-laser, blade-free LASIK eye surgery. This cutting-edge technology provides a fast, safe, and proven way to improve your vision.

Creating the Flap

Using advanced femtosecond laser technology, a thin flap is created on the cornea's protective surface. This process is completely customizable to your eye's specific measurements for optimal results.

Reshaping the Cornea

The excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct your refractive errors. This allows light to focus directly on the retina, dramatically improving your vision. The flap is then repositioned to heal naturally.

LASIK Is Customized To You

At Rayner Eye Clinic, we use the most advanced LASIK technology to completely customize your procedure to your individual eyes. During your comprehensive LASIK consultation, we'll develop a 3D map of your eye, identifying any optical imperfections that can affect vision quality.

With this detailed mapping, our advanced technology provides a completely personalized vision correction experience, taking into consideration your individual refractive errors and optical characteristics. With laser precision, we improve both the quantity and quality of your vision.
