Are Glasses or Contacts Getting in the Way?

Common signs you may be ready for laser vision correction:

  • Blurry vision without glasses
  • Dryness or irritation from contact lenses
  • Difficulty with sports or outdoor activities
  • Fogging glasses at work or during exercise
  • Desire for greater visual freedom

If these sound familiar, a refractive consultation can determine which procedure best fits your eyes and lifestyle.

Your visit includes:

  • Comprehensive dilated refractive eye exam
  • Corneal mapping and thickness measurements
  • Wavefront‑guided diagnostics
  • Tear film and ocular surface evaluation
  • Determination for LASIK, SMILE, or PRK candidacy
  • Personalized treatment plan based on your visual goals

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of which procedure is safest and most effective for your eyes.

Your Treatment Options: LASIK, SMILE & PRK

LASIK

Fast, precise, and highly customizable. Ideal for many patients seeking rapid recovery and excellent visual outcomes.

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)

Flapless, minimally invasive laser vision correction with excellent comfort and stability. A great option for active lifestyles.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

A surface‑based procedure recommended for patients with thinner corneas or those who may not be ideal LASIK or SMILE candidates. PRK offers the same visual outcomes as LASIK and SMILE with a slightly longer recovery.
