Considering Laser Eye Surgery? We Can Be Your Guide & Support
Many people consider getting laser eye surgery to gain clearer vision and be free from wearing glasses. If you’re a good candidate, laser eye surgery can make your daily life more convenient, comfortable, and clearer. But it’s helpful to know all the factors before you decide.
If you have any questions about the procedure or what to expect, we’re here to help. Book a consultation with our optometrists today to find out if you’re eligible for laser eye surgery.
Request AppointmentSet Your Sights on Laser Surgery
Laser eye surgery is a common procedure that helps correct or improve myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The 2 most common laser eye surgery types are PRK and LASIK. And if you’re considering cataract surgery, we can also help you prepare and care for your eyes afterward.
Our priority is to support you and your eye health.
PRK
With PRK, the surgeon will remove the cornea’s outer layer with a laser. Then, the laser (guided by a computer) will vaporize small amounts of tissue under the cornea’s surface, removing just enough to reshape the cornea and correct vision. The initial PRK healing process typically takes around 1 week.
LASIK
With LASIK surgery, the surgeon will cut a flap in the cornea and lift the flap. A computer-guided laser removes tissue from the inside layers of the cornea to reshape the eye’s surface, and then the flap is placed back into its spot. The healing time from LASIK is typically quicker than PRK.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts are cloudy spots that form on the eye’s lens, blocking light and causing vision problems. Cataract surgery replaces the natural lens with an artificial one to restore clear vision.
In some cases, follow-up laser surgery (posterior capsulotomy) is needed months or years later to help with scar tissue or a lens that has “wrinkled” after placement.
Before surgery, our team can answer your questions, discuss your options, and create a customized treatment plan. After your surgery, we provide follow-up care, monitor your progress, and help maintain your vision long-term.

- Are trying to decrease your use of corrective glasses or contact lenses
- Are free from eye diseases or conditions, including severe dry eye, that might interfere with recovery
