PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, is a laser procedure for the treatment of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism with the excimer laser. A computer generated, cold laser beam is used to precisely remove and sculpt corneal tissue at the microscopic level. Currently, PRK is being used to treat between 1.0 and 12.0 diopters of myopia (with up to 4.0 diopters of astigmatism) and 1.0 to 6.0 diopters of hyperopia (with up to 4.0 diopters of astigmatism). Ideal Candidate:
Nearsightedness

Custom LASIK involves measuring the eye from front to back with a special laser, using what's called "wavefront" technology, to create a three-dimensional (3-D) image of the eye. The information contained in the wavefront-map guides the laser in customizing the treatment to your individual visual system.

Your eyes tell a great story, why hide them behind glasses?
When it comes to something as important as your vision, there should be no compromise in the level of medical expertise you devote to it.
As an ophthalmologist who performs LASIK surgery on a regular basis, I understand the importance of excellent visual acuity. I chose Dr. Manche to perform my LASIK surgery because of his experience, expertise and most importantly, his high ethical standard. I now enjoy 20/20 vision in both eyes without glasses or contact lenses.

See if Laser Vision Correction is for you
If glasses or contacts seem to interfere with your enjoyment of daily life and activities, laser vision correction can help. Low, moderate and severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism may be corrected by one of the procedures.
Before your eyes can be corrected a thorough exam must be conducted. Most people with slight abberations in their sight have otherwise healthy eyes, so this is generally little more than a routine examination.
