When it comes to refractive surgery such as LASIK, it is best to trust your eyes to an experienced doctor such as Dean Dornic who have completed thousands of successful surgeries. As Dr. Dean Dornic knows well, LASIK and other refractive surgeries are complex and delicate procedures that must not be taken lightly.
When a patient comes to Dr. Dean Dornic in his Cary, North Carolina office to learn about their options in regards to LASIK surgery, he and his staff will explain the procedure carefully. It is necessary to create a corneal flap in LASIK surgery, for starters, followed by incising a very fine layer of the outer corneal surface with a laser or microkeratome and folding it back to expose the stroma, which is also known as the middle corneal layer. Then Dr. Dean Dornic will use a laser to remove microscopic amounts of tissue to reshape the cornea, and return the flap to its original position so it can re-seal itself. Patients are sometimes a bit frightened at the prospect of lasers cutting their eyes, but doctors like Dean Dornic have the experience and bedside manner to quell any fears.
Refractive surgery is more of a fine art than a simple medical procedure. Doctors like Dean Dornic are elevating this fine art and working to remain innovative in this field. Dr. Dean Dornic, for instance, was the first surgeon in the Raleigh and Durham areas of North Carolina to perform IntraLase, which lasers to make the LASIK flap instead of the traditional metal blades.
