Imagine waking up tomorrow morning, opening your eyes, and seeing the Inland Empire’s mountains, city lights, and desert sunsets in perfect clarity—without fumbling for your glasses. That’s the kind of life-changing difference LASIK surgery can bring.
For many in Inland Empire, and beyond, LASIK isn’t just about sharper vision—it’s about reclaiming time, freedom, and confidence. Whether you’re tired of replacing lost contact lenses, frustrated with smudged glasses, or just ready to simplify your life, LASIK could be the step that transforms your daily routine.
And with Inland Eye LASIK’s limited-time offer of up to $1,500 off, there’s never been a better moment to take that first step toward crystal-clear vision.
What is LASIK and Who is a Good Candidate?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a quick, painless outpatient procedure that reshapes the cornea so light can properly focus on the retina—resulting in clear, sharp vision.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO):
LASIK has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates of any elective procedure, with studies showing over 96% of patients are satisfied with their results.
The procedure is safe and effective when performed on carefully selected candidates.
You may be a good LASIK candidate if:
You’re between 18 and 50 years old (though many people outside this range may still qualify)
Your vision prescription has been stable for at least a year
You have healthy eyes free from conditions such as glaucoma or severe dry eye
You’re free from uncontrolled medical conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders
You have realistic expectations about the results

Many people delay LASIK because they think they can “always do it later.” But here’s why it’s worth acting now:
Enjoy the benefits sooner – Every day without glasses or contacts is a day you could be enjoying freedom from lenses.
Avoid worsening vision prescriptions – The earlier you get LASIK, the more years you’ll have to enjoy its benefits.
Take advantage of limited-time savings – Inland Eye LASIK is currently offering up to $1,500 off LASIK, making it one of the most affordable times to get it done.
Use financing options – Spread out your payments while still enjoying the results right away.
Before LASIK Surgery: Your Consultation & Preparation
Your LASIK journey starts with a FREE consultation at our Inland Eye LASIK center. During this visit, you can expect:
Comprehensive eye exam – We’ll check your prescription, corneal thickness, and overall eye health.
Custom treatment planning – Our surgeons use advanced diagnostic technology to design a procedure tailored to your unique vision.
Lifestyle discussion – We’ll discuss your daily activities and vision goals to make sure LASIK is the right choice for you.
The AAO emphasizes that a thorough pre-operative exam is essential to determine whether your eyes are healthy enough for LASIK and to customize your treatment for the best possible results.
Pre-Surgery Tips:
Stop wearing contact lenses for a few days to weeks before surgery (your doctor will tell you exactly how long).
Arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home after your procedure.
Follow any special instructions from your LASIK surgeon, such as avoiding eye makeup the day of surgery.
During LASIK Surgery: Quick, Painless, and Precise
Many patients are surprised at just how fast LASIK surgery is—it typically takes less than 15 minutes per eye. Here’s what you can expect:
Numbing drops – These keep your eyes completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
Creating a corneal flap – Our advanced femtosecond laser gently creates a thin flap in the cornea.
Reshaping the cornea – A second laser precisely reshapes the cornea to correct your vision.
Flap repositioning – The flap is placed back into position, where it begins to heal naturally.
You’ll remain awake during the surgery, but your surgeon will talk you through each step so you feel confident and relaxed.
The best part of LASIK? You’ll notice improved vision within hours. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that most LASIK patients achieve 20/25 vision or better, which is good enough to drive without corrective lenses.
What to Expect Post-Surgery:
Slight tearing or mild discomfort for the first few hours
Light sensitivity during the first day
Rapid vision improvement—many patients achieve 20/20 vision or better
Multiple follow-up visits to ensure proper healing
Quick Recovery Tips:
Avoid rubbing your eyes
Wear protective eyewear at night (provided by us)
Use prescribed eye drops to prevent dryness and infection
Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and eye makeup for at least a week

“Dr. Blanton and the entire staff are phenomenal. I am so happy my vision is better than 20/20! The procedure was flawless, painless and easy. I wish i could give more than 5 stars. Thank you for changing my life in such a beautiful way with perfect vision. 100% recommend!”
“I got my LASIK done here about a month ago and have been very pleased. The staff and Dr. Blanton are nice and very good at what they do. The instructions for preoperative and postoperative care were easy to follow. The procedure itself was not what I expected; it was not a big deal at all. It was very fast, and I appreciated that the staff counted down the time for each part. My outcome was outstanding; I’m at 20/15 vision and my astigmatism is corrected. I’m one of the ones that had glare around lights and things were cloudy immediately after surgery. But I could still see perfectly fine during the day and at night. A month out and everything is far better than immediately after the procedure. What is left to heal is not a big deal and I don’t notice it most of the time. LASIK was life-changing for me in many ways and I highly recommend getting it done with Dr. Blanton.”
