LASIK and Refractive Surgery Evaluation

LASIK, a form of refractive surgery, is an option for vision correction without needing to wear glasses or contact lenses. Simply put, LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser.

Recently, other surgical alternatives have become available. Among these is a technique called phakic IOL implantation which involves implanting a lens behind the cornea, but in front of the iris. With this new option, many of those who were too highly nearsighted for LASIK are now candidates for refractive surgery.

If you are interested in refractive surgery, please let us know. Refractive surgery is not to be taken lightly. If testing shows you to be a good candidate, our doctors can assist you in choosing the refractive surgeon who is most appropriate for you.  Drs Kyle and Michaela provide pre and post-operative care for refractive surgery.
