Vision Correction Procedures Include:

• LASIK Eye Surgery – LASIK is a corrective procedure to improve your vision. It uses a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear dome at the front of your eye. This helps light focus properly on the retina in the back of your eye, potentially reducing your need for glasses or contacts. LASIK is a popular option for people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
• PRK Surgery – Similar to LASIK, PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a laser vision correction surgery. Unlike LASIK, PRK doesn’t create a flap in the cornea. Instead, the surface layer of the cornea is removed, then a laser reshapes it to improve focus. PRK is suitable for some patients with regular prescriptions or those who participate in activities where a flap could be dislodged.
• EVO ICL – EVO ICL is an implantable lens for nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, it doesn’t involve reshaping your cornea. Instead, a thin, foldable lens is placed behind your iris to correct your vision. This is a good option for those with high prescriptions, dry eyes, or unsuitable corneas for LASIK. The EVO ICL is reversible and offers clear vision without affecting tear production.
• Refractive Lens Exchange – Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a surgery for vision correction that targets people over 40. It replaces your natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), similar to cataract surgery. This implanted lens corrects vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and even presbyopia (difficulty focusing on near objects). RLE is a good option for those who want to reduce dependence on glasses or contacts and may be suitable for people with early cataracts.
• Corneal Cross Linking – Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) is a minimally invasive procedure to strengthen a weakened cornea. It’s particularly helpful for keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. CXL uses riboflavin eye drops and ultraviolet light to create new bonds between collagen fibers in the cornea, making it stiffer and more stable. This can help halt the progression of keratoconus and potentially prevent the need for a corneal transplant.
• Intacs for Keratoconus – Intacs are tiny, crescent-shaped implants inserted into the cornea to treat keratoconus. They act like braces, flattening the bulge and improving the cornea’s shape. This can reduce astigmatism and improve vision, though glasses or contacts may still be needed. Intacs are a minimally invasive surgery with a faster recovery time compared to a corneal transplant.
