The LASIK Procedure
During the LASIK eye surgery procedure, Dr. Goosey uses this state-of-the-art laser to create a thin flap on the outer layer of the cornea. This precise laser technology reshapes the cornea, correcting refractive errors in each eye and improving vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
The key benefits of LASIK include:
- No bleeding or stitches
- Quick healing with minimal downtime
- Improved vision without reliance on corrective eyewear
Pre-Surgery Guidelines:
Dr. Goosey advises patients to NOT WEAR contact lenses for 3-7 days prior to surgery depending on the type of lenses used. This is important as contacts can temporarily alter the shape of the eye. Detailed instructions will be provided both before and after the LASIK experience to ensure a smooth recovery process.

What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK, which stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is a type of laser assisted refractive eye surgery that is used in the treatment and correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. In the procedure, an ophthalmologist uses a laser to reshape the eye’s cornea to help improve vision. LASIK eye surgery generally provides a permanent alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
What we now know as LASIK treatment originally stemmed from the mind of Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, in Bogota, Columbia, in the 1950’s. Fast forward several decades later, to 1980, where Rangaswamy Srinivasan, working in an IBM research laboratory, discovered the use of ultraviolet excimer lasers in etching human tissue with no thermal damage to the surrounding area in question; a phenomenon he coined as “ablative photo-decomposition”. Five years later, Steven Trokel, from the Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute, Columbia University in New York, published his work using the excimer laser. Leap a few more years, and in 1989, the first refractive laser eye surgery was conducted on a human.
It was this same decade that saw Dr. John Goosey enter the world of visual improvement. As early as 1984, Dr. Goosey was well versed in the area of keratoconus and corneal procedures, contributing his research to various journals and curriculums. In the early to mid-90’s, he began to perfect his craft in the art of laser assisted eye surgery, becoming one of the leading and foremost experts in the world. Since then, LASIK eye surgery has become the leading option in corrective vision treatments, and there aren’t really any better hands you could be in.
Today, Dr. Goosey has performed thousands of highly successful laser correction surgeries with the WaveLight® Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser, and is an eye surgeon who is considered an expert even by other surgeons.
