Dr. JOHN WHITEHEAD's Expert Contributions
  • Why is LASIK performed awake?

    The LASER that performs the operation is working at the micron level and it has to track your eye precisely and it has to line up with the circle that is your cornea. When you are awake you help us do these things. When you are asleep your eye rolls up into the back of your head and it rotates, so if we tried LASIK with you asleep the LASER could not track your eye and the correction would not be on axis so it would not fully correct your glasses prescription.
