Our philosophy has always been "quality not quantity." If you are considering a LASER Refractive Procedure, an upcoming seminar is an excellent opportunity to learn about LASIK and PRK and to have your questions answered.
Sight is our most precious sense. People who need their glasses to read the alarm clock each morning know all too well the frustration of total dependency on glasses and contact lenses. However, because sight is precious, the decision to have surgery must be made only after careful consideration and education. In the following pages, we will help you understand refractive surgery, and what it can mean to you.
We will discuss procedures that are commonly used today to correct your vision, including, LASIK, Surface Laser , PRK, LASEK, CK, Multifocal implants (ReSTOR®, ReZoom®), accommodating implants (Crystalens), implantable contact lenses (Visian ICL) and others.
Refractive surgery is a family of surgical procedures designed to reduce or eliminate common vision abnormalities, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. These procedures help alter the way the light is focused on the retina by using precise surgical techniques to reshape the front surface of the eye called the cornea.
Refractive surgery was revolutionized by the invention of the Excimer laser in the early 1980's and has been through numerous clinical trials to determine its safety and effectiveness. It is now commonly used to treat these common vision abnormalities. |
