LASIK Eye Surgery
Why Consider LASIK?
Many contact lens wearers experience irritation, dryness, and discomfort, making daily use frustrating. Glasses, while effective, can be inconvenient during physical activities. LASIK eye surgery offers a quick, painless, and long-term solution to these common struggles—helping you achieve clear vision without dependency on corrective lenses. Although dry eye is the most common side effect following LASIK, it typically resolves quickly with proper care.
At Cullom & Farah Eye & Laser Center, we have been serving patients in Williamsburg, VA, for over 20 years. Our experienced ophthalmologists have performed hundreds of successful LASIK procedures using the latest technology to ensure safety, precision, and exceptional results.

Vision Problems LASIK Can Correct
Nearsightedness (Myopia)
Those who are nearsighted cannot see objects in the distance clearly since their cornea is too curved and needs to be flattened.
Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
Those who are farsighted cannot see objects nearby since their cornea is too flat and needs more curvature.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism can occur alongside nearsightedness or farsightedness and causes vision to be distorted because the cornea is an oval shape (like a football).
LASIK corrects your vision by reshaping these abnormalities with the use of a laser.
The LASIK Procedure Step-by-Step
Step 1: Advanced Eye Mapping
We use Iris Recognition and Wavefront technology to create a detailed, high-resolution map of your eye. This personalized "fingerprint" ensures the most precise laser treatment tailored to your unique vision needs.
Step 2: Corneal Flap Creation
A laser is used to create the corneal flap with the safety and precision of a computer-controlled laser beam. The surgeon then gently folds this flap back to prepare the eye for the treatment laser. The entire LASIK procedure relies on the latest laser technology and is blade-free.
Step 3: Laser Vision Correction
A cool laser beam reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. There are multiple tracking and alignment systems in place to ensure both safety and accuracy throughout your entire procedure.
Step 4: Corneal Flap Repositioning & Healing
The corneal flap is carefully placed back in its original position. The cornea begins healing immediately and you can return home.

LASIK Guide
"I had custom lasik with Dr. Farah. Everyone, from the staff, the nurses checking my eyes prior to being seen by Dr. Farah, and Dr. Farah himself, were professional, reliable, and really made me feel as though they cared about making my procedure go as smoothly as possible. Dr. Farah explained everything to me in depth on the first appointment and I had my surgery the next Wednesday. It's now two days later and I can see better than I did with contacts/glasses. My night time vision (halos and flares) have improved. The process was quick, painless, and it felt very reassuring having someone as professional as Dr. Farah talking me through what was going on. I highly recommend Dr. Farah and the Cullom Eye Center."
