Our Laser Vision Correction Treatments
We offer a range of advanced options tailored to various prescriptions, lifestyles, and corneal anatomies. Below are some of our most popular treatments.
All-Laser LASIK
All-Laser LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of traditional blades, enhancing precision and potentially speeding up recovery. The excimer laser then reshapes the underlying corneal tissue to correct refractive errors, often yielding fast improvements in eyesight.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
PRK removes the outermost layer of the cornea (the epithelium) before reshaping the surface to correct vision. Ideal for those with thin corneas or at higher risk of eye trauma, PRK can take a bit longer to heal compared to LASIK, but the final visual outcomes are typically very similar.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
SMILE involves removing a thin, lens-shaped layer from within the cornea through a tiny incision, bypassing the need for a flap. This approach can reduce corneal weakening and dry eye symptoms, making SMILE a good choice for individuals concerned about corneal stability.
FAZETM
FAZETM is our specialized laser technique for those with significant or complex astigmatism. By customizing the laser's energy to precise astigmatic corrections, FAZETM can yield sharper vision and faster recovery times for many patients.
Topo-Guided LASIK
By using topography to map the cornea's unique contours, Topo-Guided LASIK fine-tunes the laser's reshaping process for an even more personalized procedure. This approach can correct subtle irregularities, leading to enhanced clarity, night vision, and overall visual comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions Laser Vision Correction
Is laser vision correction painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort or pressure. Numbing eye drops are used during the procedure, and any post-surgery irritation usually subsides within a few days.
How quickly can I get back to work or daily activities?
Many people resume normal activities within a day or two, although it's advisable to follow your surgeon's guidelines for rest and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.
Are the results permanent?
Laser vision correction aims to provide long-term improvements. However, natural age-related changes—such as presbyopia—may occur over time. Regular checkups can help maintain your eye health.
Can I have both eyes treated on the same day?
Yes. Most procedures treat both eyes at once for convenience and to minimize downtime. If one eye needs additional adjustments, your surgeon will discuss any necessary follow-up care.
Will I need reading glasses after surgery?
This depends on factors like age and presbyopia. While laser vision correction targets refractive errors, presbyopia can still develop as part of the normal aging process, necessitating reading glasses.
