Our highly trained ophthalmologists offer LASIK surgery, as well as other refractive surgery options. LASIK is a laser eye surgery that uses a safe, minimally invasive laser to reshape the cornea, thereby improving or correcting vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
Procedures are done right in our office and more than 90% of patients will have results between 20/20 and 20/40 vision.
What is refractive surgery?
Refractive surgery is used to correct or improve vision problems such as:
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia
LASIK is the most common type of refractive surgery. However, there are other types of procedures used to correct refractive issues. These may involve reshaping the cornea to correct or adjust the eye's focusing ability or implanting a lens inside the eye.
