Procedures Offered

Listed below are some of our most requested procedures.

  • Blade Free LASIK (IntraLase)

  • Custom Wavefront LASIK

  • Implantable Contact Lens

  • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
    Approx Cost:
    N/A

    Ideal Candidate: PRK was the first procedure performed using the Excimer laser. It corrects vision by reshaping the cornea. The difference between LASIK and PRK is that with LASIK a corneal flap is created and the laser is applied to the inner tissue of the cornea. With PRK, the epithelium (or outer skin of the cornea) is removed and a laser is applied to the surface of the cornea. PRK can be used to correct low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

  • Pterygium Surgery

  • Cataract Surgery

  • Cataract Treatment

  • CK - Conductive Keratoplasty

  • IntraLASIK (Intralase)
    Approx Cost:
    N/A

    Ideal Candidate: LASIK using the IntraLase FS Laser is called IntraLASIK. To make the corneal flap, the IntraLase FS Laser, the laser beam is focused into a tiny spot of energy that passes harmlessly through the outer layers of the cornea until reaching its exact focal point within the central layer of the cornea. There the corneal flap procedure is initiated, silently and painlessly, with remarkable precision. The IntraLase FS Laser can also be used to create the channels and entry cuts for placement of Intacs.

  • LASIK Eye Surgery
    Approx Cost:
    N/A

    Ideal Candidate: One of the most popular ways to correct vision is with a procedure called LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis), which uses a laser to change the curvature of the cornea (outer window of the eye). LASIK has quickly become the procedure of choice for most patients because they recover quickly and have fewer side effects and complications than with other methods of vision correction. In fact, most LASIK patients notice a significant improvement in their vision soon after surgery.

  • Phakic IOL Intraocular Lens
    Approx Cost:
    N/A

    Ideal Candidate: The word "Phakic" refers to those who have not undergone cataract surgery and still have their eye's natural internal lens. IOL stands for "intra-ocular lens." In the Phakic IOL procedure, an intra-ocular lens is placed inside the eye. The patient's natural lens is not removed, as it would be in cataract surgery. There are three lens designs under development. The NuVita lens is placed in front of the iris. The Verisyse?, or iris claw lens is attached on the front of the iris.

  • Wavefront
    Approx Cost:
    N/A

    Ideal Candidate: At Laser Eye Center, our surgeons are the first to utilize LADARWavey? CUSTOMCORNEA? wavefront technology to measure and address both lower and higher order aberrations (visual imperfections in the eye's optical system). Unless both lower and higher order aberrations are addressed during laser vision correction, the quality of your vision may not be ideal, even if you have post-operative vision of 20/20.
