take online consultationMillennium Laser Eye Centers proudly offers LASIK in Fort Lauderdale and throughout South Florida. LASIK, or Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis (meaning to shape the cornea of the eye using a laser), is one of the most exciting and advanced laser procedures for correcting nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatic vision.
LASIK is a fairly simple process. This brief outpatient procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist using anesthetic eye drops that completely numb the eye, thus making it pain-free. While the patient is comfortably reclining, the surgeon creates a micro-thin protective flap, the approximate thickness of 3 human hairs. This is accomplished at our center by using an extremely precise Femtosecond Laser, the FS200 or the VisuMax. Dr. Lessner was the first in the Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County area to use this technology, making him the expert. As soon as the protective flap has been created, the surgeon uses state-of-the-art laser technology, the WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser, to gently sculpt the cornea to reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses. The protective flap is then replaced and heals instantly without the need for any stitches.
The entire LASIK process takes about 10 minutes (about 5 minutes per eye). The patient will experience a rapid recovery while instilling medicated eye drops for a short period. Vision should be fully restored within 1-4 days; however most patients return to regular daily activity within 24 hours.

Since all patients are required to watch the video and complete this consultation prior to being seen, doing so in advance will significantly streamline your experience.
Upon submission, you, our center, and if applicable, your eye care professional, will receive an email report about your candidacy. One of our coordinators will then reach out to you and if you have not already done so, set up an appointment to review this report, tour our center, examine your eyes, and take the scans required to confirm your candidacy.
