Lasik Evaluation

Mamaroneck, NY — Westchester Eye Care

Considering LASIK? Get the exam that matters first.

Serving Mamaroneck and greater Westchester County, Dr. Rubinstein provides comprehensive LASIK candidacy evaluations — and expert pre- and post-operative care — so your vision correction journey starts and ends in the right hands.

WHY IT MATTERS

The success of LASIK starts before the laser.

Laser vision correction is one of the most commonly performed elective procedures in the world — but it isn't right for everyone. Factors like corneal thickness, prescription strength, dry eye history, and overall eye health all play a role. Our Mamaroneck patients get a thorough, honest evaluation before any decisions are made.

• Full candidacy exam
  A thorough evaluation of your corneas, prescription, and eye health to assess LASIK candidacy with confidence.
• Pre-op preparation
  We partner with your surgeon to ensure you're fully prepared — and that any underlying issues are addressed first.
• Post-op management
  From dry eye treatment to long-term monitoring, we keep your vision clear and comfortable after surgery.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS

LASIK vs. PRK: what's the difference?

Laser vision correction (LVC) comes in a few forms. The right choice depends on your prescription, corneal anatomy, and lifestyle. Here's what Westchester patients should know:

LASIK — Laser Assisted Keratomileusis
The most popular form of LVC. The surgeon creates a thin flap in the cornea, reshapes the tissue underneath to correct your vision, then repositions the flap. Recovery is rapid — many patients notice improved vision within hours. The flap can be created with a precision femtosecond laser (the current gold standard) or a surgical blade, both with strong safety records over millions of procedures.

PRK — Photorefractive Keratectomy
PRK reshapes the corneal surface without creating a flap — making it preferred for patients with higher prescriptions or thinner corneas. Recovery takes slightly longer (3–7 days for initial healing, up to 4 weeks for full results), but there are no flap-related risks. For the right patient, it's an excellent and proven alternative to LASIK.

Standard vs. high-definition laser
Both procedures can be performed with a standard or high-definition (wavefront-optimized) laser. The HD option reduces nighttime glare and halos — an important consideration for many patients, especially those commuting in and around Westchester.

POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Dry eye after laser surgery: what to expect.

Dry eye is a well-known side effect of laser vision correction. For most patients it's temporary. For others it can persist longer — but it's manageable, and our Mamaroneck practice specializes in exactly this type of post-surgical care.
