About Quincy

Quincy is a city in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. It’s the largest city in the county and is located in eastern Massachusetts. The city has a population of over 101,000 residents and is also part of the Greater Boston area. It’s known as the “City of Presidents,” as it was home to both John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams. It was also home to John Hancock, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The city is also where you can find the Adams National Historical Park, the USS Salem, and a historic downtown and waterfront area. And because it’s so close to Boston, it’s a perfect place to live for those who work in Boston and are looking for a relatively short commute.

What is LASIK Surgery?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a very popular laser vision correction surgery that corrects refractive errors by reshaping the cornea and minimizing or completely eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. This laser eye surgery can address many refractive errors, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.

During the refractive surgery, a specialized laser is used to safely change the curve of the cornea to help light correctly refract onto the retina in the back of the eye for permanent vision correction.

Who is a Candidate for LASIK Eye Surgery?

While most patients who come to Nielsen Eye Center looking for vision correction are good candidates for LASIK, there are some criteria we follow to ensure it’s the best treatment option for your needs.

Ideal Candidates for LASIK in Quincy Are:

• At least 18 years old or older
• Have had a stable vision prescription for at least a year
• In good overall health
• Have corneas thick enough for the procedure
• Not experiencing any eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts
• Tired of regularly using eyeglasses or contact lenses

LASIK Benefits

LASIK procedures in Quincy offer several benefits:

• Outpatient procedure: Because LASIK is an outpatient procedure, you will be able to go home the same day. You don’t need to worry about an extensive procedure or staying in a hospital overnight
• Short recovery time: You can expect initial recovery to take only a few days, but the full healing process can take up to six months. You should be able to get back to your normal activities relatively quickly.
• Less need for glasses or contact lenses: Because we’re addressing your refractive errors with LASIK surgery, most patients don’t need to wear glasses or contact lenses at all. Others only need to wear their glasses for short periods of time.
• Improved vision: One of the major benefits of LASIK eye surgery is that you can look forward to improved vision. You can expect to see much clearer than you did before surgery.
• Long-lasting results: With LASIK surgery, you can expect to see results for 10-20 years, if not longer. Enhancement surgery may be needed after that time.
