Refractive Procedures Offered

Lasik stands for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. This literally means “to shape the cornea within, using laser.” For some patients, Lasik is the best way to achieve natural vision.

For example: Nearsightedness or myopia occurs when light rays entering the eye are focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia is usually a result of the curvature (power) of the cornea being too strong or the length of the eyeball being too long.

LASEK – Advanced Surface Treatment is an excellent alternative and an especially good option for people who have been previously advised that their eyes are not suitable for traditional Lasik. Your surgeon will decide which procedure will best suit your needs and give you the best outcome.

Custom Wavefront Lasik is another option for getting the most outstanding outcomes for our patients. It treats the higher order aberrations that conventional laser surgeries are not able to correct.

Your surgeon will decide which procedure will give you the best outcome.

Verisyse Intraocular Lenses are designed for very nearsighted people who may not be candidates for Lasik. It is very precise vision for highly myopic people who want independence from glasses and contact lenses.

Crystalens intraocular lenses allow patients to focus seamlessly for all distances. Near, far and intermediate.

ReZoom Multifocal vision is the result of over 20 years of advancements in treating cataracts. Called “customized cataract surgery” it is not necessary to have cataracts to take advantage of this technology that can reduce or eliminate your need for reading glasses.
