What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is micro-surgery, performed by a surgeon with a laser, which reshapes the cornea, and thus changes the patient’s vision. Correctly performed, LASIK eye surgery can correct the most common forms of vision impairment—myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.

During LASIK eye surgery in Los Angeles, a thin layer of tissue is folded back from the surface of the cornea. After the laser reshapes the cornea, the tissue is folded back into place, where it bonds quickly. At the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute in Los Angeles, the entire procedure is performed using state-of-the-art surgical lasers, so there are no scalpels, stitches or needles. The time in surgery is 3 to 5 minutes per eye. Healing for most patients is so fast that vision improves within hours of the procedure, and many patients return to work the next day.

Benefits of Virtual Consultation

The amazing thing about LASIK is how fast it heals. My patients go back to normal life the day after their surgery, going to work, wearing make-up, whatever they need to do, and there’s just incredible excitement and joy. It’s what makes doing this so incredible for me, because people come in fearful and leave ecstatic.

Is LASIK Eye Surgery in Los Angeles right for you?

Because your eyes and your vision are as unique to you as your fingerprints and DNA, it's challenging for us to know whether LASIK eye surgery can benefit you without a personal examination. However, many recent medical advances, some pioneered at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute in Los Angeles, have made it possible to correct problems that couldn't be fixed just a few years ago. Dr. Maloney, Dr. Shamie, and Dr. Hura deliver among the best LASIK eye surgery Los Angeles and Pasadena have to offer.

In general, the conditions we're able to treat include nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. We like our patients to be at least 18 years of age, have healthy corneas, and to have had stable vision over the past year.

What to expect during a LASIK consultation

Determining if you’re a candidate for LASIK is a careful, multi-step process. At your consultation, Dr. Maloney, Dr. Shamie, or Dr. Hura will thoroughly evaluate your eye health and educate you on your vision correction options so you can make an informed decision.

The evaluation includes measuring your vision, assessing corneal thickness, dryness, retina, and reviewing your overall medical and ocular history. Advanced corneal mapping technology is used to create a detailed, personalized “fingerprint” of your vision—far more precise than standard glasses or contact lens prescriptions. These quick, painless scans help your surgeon tailor the procedure to your eyes’ unique characteristics.

Our experienced team will guide you through every step of your visit, from the diagnostic testing to a tour of our surgical suite and recovery area. After reviewing your test results, your surgeon or a member of our medical staff will determine if LASIK is the right option for you.

At the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute in Los Angeles and Pasadena, we’re committed to answering all your questions and helping you feel confident about your care—from what to expect on surgery day to when you’ll start seeing clearly. Our goal is simple: to give you the best vision possible.

"I decided to have LASIK because I noticed that it was becoming more difficult to see the gates and judge the terrain as I was skiing.

"After doing a ton of research and consulting with my team of doctors, one name kept coming up, and that was Dr. Maloney. I can't believe how crisp and clear everything is, I'm so excited!"
