Lasik Procedures
LASIK or Laser in Situ Keratomileusis is a procedure that offers many advantages over other forms of laser vision correction because it is performed under the corneal layer. As a result, there is less surface area to heal, less post operative discomfort, less risk of corneal haze, and vision returns more rapidly, usually within one day or so.
Dr. Bogart has performed over 18,000 LASIK procedures! He operates in Columbia, Greenville and the Myrtle Beach areas of South Carolina! 96% of Dr. Bogart's patients achieve 20/20 vision; 3% achieve 20/40 or better. Dr. Bogart has less than 1% of patients that are not 20/40 or better. Typically this patient was unusually far-sighted or had other difficulties prior to surgery. Each person needs to be screened individually to see whether they are a candidate for this procedure. Any questions or comments can be directed to us through this address: lindalasik@carolinaeyecenters.com for more information!

Testimonials:
Tara Cooley is one patient who is thrilled with her results. Tara tells us...
"I wore contacts for over 15 years! Since I have had the LASIK surgery I am seeing 20/15! The best thing about LASIK is being able to wake up and see the alarm clock. This is the best money I have ever spent!"
Grace Richards is another patient happy with her LASIK results! She is so pleased that her son is now wanting to have HIS eyes done! Grace tell us that...
"Since I was 12 years old I have had to wear glasses. I am now 42 years old and recently had LASIK surgery. My vision is PERFECT. LASIK changed my life! By not wearing glasses, I have even been able to change how I wear my make-up and wear a hairstyle I could never have had before having the procedure! I recommend LASIK and Dr. Bogart to anyone!"
Louise Burgess says...
I have worn contacts since middle school and have always had problems with my vision. LASIK has finally made it possible for me to wake up in the mornings and have one less thing to worry about. The procedure was fast and painless; the results are life changing. I would recommend this surgery to anyone. LASIK surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made! Now I see 20/20- all thanks to Dr. Bogart and his staff.
Nick Barfield says that...
I have always had pretty sensitive eyes. I wouldn't say that I am a huge fan of objects in or around my eye area either. I was tired of wearing glasses and unable to wear contacts comfortably. I went in for a consultation with Dr. Bogart just to see what my options were. Before having surgery I couldn't really make out the big "E" on the eye chart. I was very nearsighted with astigmatism. Dr. Bogart decided that the safest option for someone with my prescription would be to have a surface procedure. I had Epi-K surgery performed on both eyes. I knew the healing process would take a little longer and that my vision would not be perfect right away. I also knew that there would be some more discomfort associated with the procedure. I was basically down for a weekend, not feeling like doing a whole lot of anything. At my first follow up visit, my vision was already 20/30. A huge improvement from what I was before surgery. I wore my sunglasses a lot because my eyes were sensitive to light. I hung in there, and at my next follow up appointment my vision was 20/20! Although Epi-K does have it's cons...it was well worth it! It is comforting to find a Doctor that you can trust and a staff that truly cares about you. I know that I had the safest procedure possible and if you see me in glasses now...they're SUNGLASSES!
