FAZE™ in Queens: A Next-Level Laser Solution for Astigmatism

We offer FAZE™: a premium technique that blends corneal topography with individualized laser planning.

For patients who need more precision than traditional LASIK allows, FAZE™ represents a refined alternative with long-term vision in mind. Schedule a consultation in Queens to explore your customized solution.

What Is FAZE™?

FAZE™ is an innovative laser procedure engineered to correct astigmatism more effectively than typical LASIK. Traditional laser vision correction can handle a range of refractive errors, but it may leave some astigmatism insufficiently addressed.

FAZE™ goes deeper, mapping each eye's unique curvature to deliver a highly customized corneal reshaping process. By refining every laser pulse to your corneal contours, this method helps reduce residual distortions and fosters a faster, smoother recovery, all while aiming for top-tier visual clarity.

Tailored treatment tackling astigmatism precisely
Potentially quicker visual improvement
Minimized need for glasses or contacts post-procedure

What to Expect During Your FAZE™ Treatment in Queens

Your journey starts with a thorough evaluation at our Queens clinic. We'll perform corneal topography and other specialized measurements to gauge the severity and pattern of your astigmatism. Once cleared, you'll come in for the procedure, where numbing drops keep you comfortable. A femtosecond laser may create a corneal flap (depending on your treatment plan), followed by the FAZE™ laser's precise reshaping to eliminate astigmatic irregularities.

The entire process typically wraps up in under 30 minutes for both eyes. Many patients notice improvements in vision within hours, though mild dryness or sensitivity can be expected early on. Follow-up appointments in the following days and weeks let us confirm stable healing and address any lingering side effects, helping you transition quickly to clearer, more focused sight.

Are You a Good Candidate for FAZE™?

Individuals diagnosed with mild to advanced astigmatism often benefit from FAZE™, especially if standard LASIK isn't viable due to corneal thickness or the complexity of refractive error. To qualify, you should have healthy eyes free from active diseases and a stable prescription for at least a year. Dr. Cohen will also factor in lifestyle demands, like high-performance sports or nighttime driving, to tailor a plan that delivers crisp vision where you need it most. A comprehensive consultation ensures we match the procedure to your corneal shape, dryness levels, and overall goals.

Frequently Asked Questions FAZE™

Eager to leave behind the frustrations of astigmatism? Contact us now to learn how FAZE™ in Queens can elevate your vision clarity.

Is FAZE™ primarily for astigmatism?

Yes. While it also addresses nearsightedness or farsightedness, the main aim is to refine and correct astigmatism more thoroughly than standard LASIK.

Do I need to stop wearing contacts before the procedure?

Yes, you'll discontinue contact lens use for a specified period so your corneas return to their natural shape, allowing for precise measurements.

Will there be pain or discomfort afterward?

Initially, you might feel mild dryness or irritation, but it usually subsides quickly. Your doctor will provide drops to ease any temporary discomfort.

Can FAZE™ fix astigmatism permanently?

Many patients experience long-term relief. However, natural aging or other factors may shift vision, making regular checkups important.

Are enhancements possible if my vision changes later?

Yes. Should your prescription shift or residual astigmatism develop, a follow-up enhancement can often refine outcomes.
