How We Determine Your Refractive Surgery Suitability
We begin with a thorough evaluation to assess your candidacy for refractive surgery. This includes:
Reviewing your visual goals
Assessing eye dominance

Evaluating your cornea and overall eye health
Checking your current refractive status
If you're deemed suitable for surgery, we'll guide you through the pre-operative process, including a consult with the surgeon. Our post-operative care is comprehensive, with multiple visits to manage your vision and corneal healing. We also address additional needs like reading glasses, sunglasses, or enhancement laser procedures.
Expert Care for All Vision Correction Procedures
Our doctors are highly experienced in pre-operative assessments and post-operative care for various vision correction procedures. While LASIK remains popular, we offer a range of options tailored to your specific needs and partner with top surgeons for optimal outcomes.
Discover the LASIK Difference in Vision Correction
LASIK, short for “laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis,” is a widely performed refractive surgery. It stands out due to its minimal post-operative discomfort and rapid improvement in vision.
During LASIK, a microkeratome or a laser creates a thin flap in the cornea. The surgeon then uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea by removing tiny amounts of tissue. This reshaping enables better light focus onto the retina, significantly enhancing vision.
This procedure is effective for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. For nearsighted individuals, it flattens the cornea, while for farsighted individuals, it creates a steeper cornea, improving their vision.
