LASIK Procedure at Rosin Eyecare: Chicago’s Best Surgical Experience

Rosin Eyecare has been Chicago’s trusted source of eye care and vision correction for nearly a century — and ever since we adopted LASIK treatment, we’ve set the standard for what a personalized surgical experience should look like.

As we like to put it, we’re in the “see better” business. Our process is designed to make it easy to get improved vision, decreased dependence on eyewear, and a simpler, stress-free lifestyle as quickly and comfortably as possible.

What is The LASIK Procedure?

When you have a vision issue like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism, it means that one or both eyes aren’t able to focus correctly at certain distances. These issues occur when your cornea, the front layer of your eye that focuses vision, is shaped wrong.

What LASIK and similar surgeries offer is a painless way to reshape the cornea so that it can give you clearer vision at all distances. LASIK is one of the most common eye surgeries in the world. This simple outpatient procedure can improve your vision — and your quality of life!

The Life-Changing Potential of LASIK Treatment

At Rosin Eyecare, we’re proud to offer wide selection of eyeglasses and contact lenses so that every patient can find what fits their needs, but for some patients, a life without eyewear is a better fit for their lifestyle. For these patients, LASIK doesn’t just provide clear vision — it also provides convenience and peace of mind.

LASIK is a straightforward process with a simple first step: finding out if you’re a candidate. Take our LASIK Self-Test to find out if LASIK or a related procedure can improve your eyesight.

LASIK Safety & Technology at Rosin

Since it was developed, LASIK has always been a safe procedure, but it was partially completed by hand at first. Today’s “all-laser” LASIK, performed by the world’s top surgeon’s, offers precise results and fast recovery times.

At Rosin Eyecare, we want to bring Chicago the best of the best, and we believe the best all-laser LASIK is the Alcon WaveLight® Refractive Suite. The FS200 femtosecond laser and EX500 excimer laser use Wavefront Optimized® procedure planning, and the WaveNet™ Computer Network, to feed this information to several systems at once.

This integrated system allows us to customize your procedure to the smallest degree — for extremely precise vision correction.

The Rosin LASIK Experience

Pre-LASIK Consult
and Eye Exam

At Rosin Eyecare, we want you to be excited about your new vision from our first conversation onward. That’s why each Patient Coordinator is here to walk you through every step of the process. They will contact you to discuss everything you need to know and walk you through each step of the process. If you have questions about cost, payment, surgery, recovery, and more, we have answers.

Next comes your consultation. We perform detailed testing and measurements to ensure that you have a lot to gain from LASIK, or an equally effective alternative. We’ll also get your pharmacy information for post-op eye drops, and provide a detailed itinerary and list of pre-surgery dos and don’ts.

Our Safe, Painless
LASIK Procedure

On the day of surgery, Dr. Jonathan Rosin will sit down with you to discuss any last-minute concerns, make sure you have transportation home, go over your procedure once more, and discuss outcomes. We want you to feel comfortable and at ease, and there’s no one we trust more to help than Dr. Rosin himself.

Our experience in completing thousands of successful LASIK procedures, allows us to make the process quick and painless. The surgery area will be numbed and then surgery itself will last only about 10 minutes. You’ll likely feel slight pressure on your eye, but little else.

LASIK Treatment
Recovery & Results

We examine your eyes just after surgery to ensure success, then discharge you with a post-operative care package, including eye drops. We’ll see you the next day to make sure you’re on track, then again at one week, one month, three months, and six months, at any of our 40+ convenient locations.

Recovery, especially with our all-laser LASIK, is very smooth. You may feel some slight discomfort the following day, but most patients are able to start seeing results and return to normal activities within 24 hours.

For your peace of mind, we also offer free touch-ups for up to one year after surgery. This means we guarantee you will see 20/20 or better within your first 12 months.

LASIK Offers Clearer Vision — With No End in Sight

Common LASIK FAQs

Is LASIK safe?

LASIK is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the world and boasts remarkable success rates. For most patients, the greatest risk is temporary dry eye.

Does LASIK hurt?

All you should feel during the procedure itself is a slight pressure during operation.

How long does LASIK take?

The LASIK procedure itself can take less than 10 minutes, but you should put aside a couple of hours for the entire surgical appointment.

Are there any side effects from LASIK?

You may experience some eye discomfort such as dry eye, or slight visual distortion, in the hours or days following surgery, but these effects should dissipate quickly.

How much does LASIK cost?

LASIK is more affordable than ever, and much cheaper than a lifetime of eyewear. We’re happy to go over your specific insurance coverage and financing options with you as early as our first conversation.

What's the recovery time, and do I need to take time off of work?

Recovery will vary from individual to individual, but most people are able to resume normal activities a day or so after surgery. We can help you determine if you should take time off of your specific job.

What's the difference between LASIK and PRK?

LASIK creates a small, self-healing flap and gently reshapes corneal tissue just beneath it. PRK painlessly reshapes the top of the cornea. Both have nearly identical outcomes, but your cornea’s thickness and condition may make one a better choice for you.

Is LASIK permanent?

Your cornea is reshaped, meaning the improvement offered by LASIK is permanent. However, other eye conditions and factors can make your vision degrade over time, even if the cornea is still doing its job correctly. We offer free touch ups for a year after surgery, or longer with our LASIK Lifetime Plan.

Will LASIK correct my reading vision?

Yes! Reading vision can get worse due to issues with the cornea (hyperopia), or the eye’s natural lens (presbyopia). LASIK is a perfect solution for myopia, and can still counteract the effects of presbyopia by correcting the cornea against the eye’s lens.

Can LASIK treat astigmatism?

Unless you have extreme astigmatism, success rates for LASIK are nearly identical for astigmatism as they are for nearsightedness or farsightedness.

How old do I have to be to get LASIK?

Patients need to be at least 21, largely because LASIK requires a stable vision prescription, and vision doesn’t fully stabilize until adulthood.

How do I know if I'm a candidate?

The best way to find out if you’re a candidate for LASIK is to get a free consultation. The main requirements are age, sufficient corneal thickness and health, and a stable vision prescription. However, many who don’t qualify for LASIK still qualify for an alternative like PRK.

What if I blink during the procedure?

You, and your eye, will be okay! Even if you’re able to blink despite the numbing agent, we have automatic eye tracking in place to make sure LASIK treatment stops if you blink or sneeze.

What will I feel during the procedure?

Your eyes will be numb, but you may feel slight pressure on your eyes.

Can I be put to sleep during the procedure?

While LASIK shouldn’t require you to be put to sleep, we want you to feel as comfortable with the procedure as possible. We can discuss your anesthesia options during your consultation.

How do I need to prepare for the procedure?

During your consultation, we’ll provide a full list of simple steps you should take in the days preceding your procedure, such as not using contact lenses for a few days beforehand.

Dr. Sheila O'Shaughnessy at Rosin Eyecare in ChicagoWhat is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
