LASER VISION CORRECTION

Tens of millions of Americans have vision problems that require correction with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. Problems such as nearsightedness (only seeing close objects), farsightedness (only seeing far objects) and astigmatism (blurred vision) are also corrected with the latest LASIK eye surgery vision correction procedures, or refractive surgery. We can usually eliminate the need for prescription glasses and contacts. Our LASIK surgeons can often treat:

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is an irregularly shaped cornea, which causes light rays to be focused at different points. The result is blurry vision both near and distant. With astigmatism, you may have distorted vision, double vision, halos or glare. Our LASIC eye surgeons may use one kind of LASIK eye surgery or another depending on your prescription needs.

Myopia

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition where light rays focus at a point in front of the retina. Vision is best close up. However, distance and mid-range vision is blurred. Based upon your age and prescription, our LASIK surgeons may recommend LASIK vision correction, ICLs or clear lens exchange with multifocal lenses.

Hyperopia

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a condition where light rays focus at a point behind the retina. Although vision is best at a distance, it is usually not good at any single focal point. Both distance and close vision are often blurred. Our LASIK surgeons may consider LASIK vision correction, CK and clear lens exchange with multifocal lenses based on your age and prescription.

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is part of the natural aging process. It eventually affects most people over 40. The natural crystalline lens of the eye begins to lose its natural flexibility. The eye loses it ability to switch between distant and near objects.

Correction alternatives include monovision LASIK laser eye surgery, PresbyLASIK, CK or clear lens exchange with multifocal lenses. Our board-certified and fellowship-trained refractive surgery specialists will guide you in determining the best vision correction based upon your age and prescription. In a matter of minutes, we can help you see better than you have in years.
