LASIK Surgery at Lusk Eye Specialists in Shreveport, LA
What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a procedure that helps restore sight to patients with impaired vision. The procedure is simple: your surgeon will create a thin corneal flap before reshaping the inner layers of the cornea using cool, non-thermal light. Patients report very little discomfort, and the entire procedure is completed in 20 minutes or less. Environmental factors like temperature, air quality, and humidity are closely controlled in the laser suite to ensure you’re comfortable and reduce complication risks.
Benefits Of LASIK
The primary benefit is clear vision; there are few medical benefits as impactful on a daily basis as sight restored to 20/20 vision (or better). At Lusk, our surgical team specializes in LASIK— and our eye surgeons have decades of experience performing thousands of collective procedures.

What To Expect from LASIK Eye Surgery?
The process starts with a consultation. Your eye doctor first needs to determine whether you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery, where they will discuss potential benefits, outcomes, and answer your questions. Successful candidates will then receive a painless and efficient surgery, which requires just a few minutes per eye. Following the procedure, patients will be released on the same day and are able to resume most hobbies and activities within a week. Ongoing aftercare includes several post-operative exams to monitor the healing process and ensure the success of the vision correction.
Financing Through CareCredit
Some patients may lack what they need to pay up front. For those patients, we’re pleased to offer the CareCredit® card, a special line of credit that is exclusive for healthcare services.
