What Happens During Laser Vision Correction?
Laser vision correction is a precise, outpatient procedure that reshapes the cornea—the clear dome at the front of the eye—to allow light to focus more accurately on the retina. This process can dramatically reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts.
Using sophisticated diagnostic equipment, Dr. Cohen evaluates your corneal shape, thickness, and eye health to determine the best surgical plan for you. The procedure is typically quick and performed under local anesthetic drops, minimizing discomfort.
Many patients at our Old Bridge center report improved vision within hours or days, with recovery progressing steadily in the following weeks.
Should you Choose LASIK or SMILE Eye Surgery?
Advanced Laser Eye Surgery Options in Old Bridge
We offer a full suite of vision correction procedures to match your lifestyle and eye anatomy:
All-Laser LASIK
This bladeless LASIK method uses a femtosecond laser to create a flap and an excimer laser for correction. It offers high precision, rapid healing, and excellent visual results.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
With PRK, the eye's surface layer is gently removed and the underlying cornea is reshaped. This is a reliable option for patients with thin or irregular corneas.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
SMILE is a minimally invasive alternative that involves removing a small disc of corneal tissue through a tiny incision. It preserves corneal strength and may reduce the chance of dry eye.
SPARK / FAZE Astigmatism Correction
Ideal for more complex cases, SPARK / FAZE customizes laser energy patterns to refine astigmatic errors with high accuracy and minimal recovery time.
Topo-Guided LASIK
This technique uses topographic mapping to customize treatment based on your cornea’s natural curvature, offering sharper vision and reduced halos or glare at night.

Frequently Asked Questions Laser Vision Correction
Does it hurt?
Most patients only feel slight pressure during the procedure. Numbing drops are used to ensure comfort, and any post-op irritation usually fades within a day or two.
When can I go back to work?
Many patients return to work in just one to two days, depending on the procedure. Your surgeon will give tailored guidance for your recovery.
How long do the results last?
Laser correction offers long-term improvement. Age-related vision changes can still occur, so periodic eye exams are recommended.
Is it safe to treat both eyes in one visit?
Yes—both eyes are typically treated during the same appointment for your convenience and quicker recovery.
Will I still need reading glasses later in life?
Possibly. While laser vision correction resolves refractive issues, age-related presbyopia may still require reading glasses down the road.
