LASIK Eye Surgery in Baltimore
What is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a specialized laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to treat refractive errors and improve vision.

With decades of experience and advanced LASIK eye surgery technology, Dr. Goel is a trusted LASIK surgeon serving Towson, Baltimore, and Columbia. His dedication to precision and patient care has helped thousands achieve their vision goals.
What Does LASIK Treat?
LASIK can be used to correct common vision problems, including:
Myopia
(nearsightedness)
Hyperopia
(farsightedness)
Astigmatism
(blurry vision at all distances)
The LASIK Procedure: Step-by-Step
1
Flap Creation
Dr. Goel begins the procedure by creating a tiny flap in the surface of your cornea using a precise laser. This laser forms microscopic bubbles just beneath the surface, ensuring accuracy and minimal discomfort.
2
Lifting the Flap
The corneal flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying tissue. This step prepares your eye for the reshaping process.
3
Reshaping the Cornea
Using our state-of-the-art excimer laser, guided by advanced eye-tracking technology and iris mapping, Dr. Goel reshapes the cornea with customized precision to correct your vision.
4
Replacing the Flap
After the cornea is reshaped, the flap is carefully repositioned. It begins healing immediately, and no stitches are required.
The entire procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes for both eyes. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day.
Custom Wavefront LASIK
For eligible patients, we offer Custom Wavefront LASIK—a highly personalized version of the standard procedure. Unlike conventional LASIK, which primarily addresses common refractive errors, Custom Wavefront LASIK uses detailed, wavefront-guided mapping to identify and correct subtle, unique imperfections in each eye’s optical system.
This advanced technology allows Dr. Goel to achieve a more precise reshaping, potentially leading to sharper, more refined visual outcomes for those with specific vision irregularities.

Results of LASIK
LASIK significantly improves vision for most patients, reducing their reliance on glasses or contacts. Many achieve 20/20 vision or better and become less dependent on eyewear for everyday activities like reading and driving. The results typically last for many years, though it may take a few months for vision to fully stabilize.
During your consultation, a specialist will assess your eye health and vision needs to provide a clear understanding of what you can expect.
