Procedures

Laser vision correction is a term for procedures used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, and, in some cases, presbyopia.

The decision to choose laser vision correction typically follows a complimentary screening, a careful evaluation of your goals and a comprehensive eye examination with one of our laser vision correction experts to determine the health of your eyes.

Procedures

• CustomVue™ LASIK with wavefront technology
  WaveScan-based digital photography helps our surgeons identify, measure and correct eye imperfections 25 times more accurately than with eyeglasses or contact lenses.
• Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK)
  Treats low to high levels of astigmatism and nearsightedness and low to moderate farsightedness.
• Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)
  Treats low to moderate amounts of astigmatism and nearsightedness. This may be the best choice for patients with thinner corneas or who participate in activities, such as contact sports.
• Laser-assisted epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK)
  Offers another option to those with thin corneas who do not qualify for traditional LASIK procedures.
• Conductive keratoplasty (CK)
  Treats farsightedness and presbyopia without using a laser.
• Verisyse™ Phakic IOL
  An intraocular lens implant for patients with a high degree of nearsightedness who are not LASIK candidates. Available for prescriptions from -5.00 to -20.00.
