Robert Cykiert, MD

Robert Cykiert, MD offers LASIK Laser Vision Correction services in New York City. Dr. Cykiert, a renowned ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, specializes in reshaping the cornea using laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By precisely adjusting the corneal curvature, the procedure aims to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.

The LASIK procedure typically takes 5-10 minutes per eye, utilizing a femtosecond laser to create a thin corneal flap and an excimer laser to reshape the cornea. While some mild discomfort may be experienced during the process, patients are administered anesthetic drops for pain relief. Vision generally improves the day after LASIK, but full recovery may take weeks or months.

Although every surgical procedure carries risks, LASIK's risks are minimized when performed by experienced professionals with state-of-the-art equipment. Patients should be informed of potential outcomes and postoperative care requirements. Alternatives like PRK and SMILE procedures are available for those seeking vision correction without undergoing LASIK.
