Refractive Surgery
The field of refractive surgery has progressed over the last several years. Thanks to advanced procedures, like CK, PRELEX, LASIK, E-LASEK AND PRK, almost everyone is a candidate for some type of refractive surgery.
Are you a candidate?
The decision to have any type of refractive surgery is an important one that ultimately, only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes or misconceptions. The goal of any refractive surgery procedure is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. Refractive surgery does not always create 20/20 or even 20/40 vision. It cannot correct a condition known as presbyopia, or aging of the eye, that normally occurs around age 40 and may require the use of reading glasses. In fact, people over 40 who have their nearsightedness reduced with surgery may find that they need reading glasses after the procedure. Our doctors will provide you with additional information that will allow you to make an informed decision.
