Your visual skills and abilities are carefully evaluated and appropriate treatment is prescribed, whether it is medication or lenses. We are prepared to handle whatever your eye care needs are, and will treat them with the latest in diagnostic equipment and are committed to keeping up to date with eye care technology.

Laser Vision Correction
Most people with vision correction issues want to know more about LASIK and whether it is right for them. The following is a brief description of the procedure:
A flap is surgically cut in the cornea and gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea into a flatter shape (this is much like a contact lens corrects vision by forming a new shape on the cornea). The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage. The healing process is quick and the discomfort level is minimal. People will often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. Most people have improved vision within 24 hours. Yet, it must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, often continues to improve for some weeks and even months.

LASIK is not for everyone. People's eyes are different so even though you may have had a friend who has had LASIK, it may not be the best course of treatment for you. If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to guide you in picking the right surgeon, procedure and laser appropriate for you.

PRK is a similar procedure without corneal flap surgery. After the procedures, we take great care to monitor your eyes and adjust your medication for the best possible results.
