Conditions we treat

• Nearsightedness: Distant objects appear blurred.
• Farsightedness: Difficulty focusing on close objects.
• Astigmatism: Abnormal curvature of the cornea causes vision to be out of focus.
• Keratoconus: Degenerative condition that changes shape of cornea over time, impairing vision.
• Cataracts: Clouding in the lens of your eye.

Advanced techniques, technology & procedures

Our leading-edge techniques, technology and procedures lead to outstanding results. We offer:

LASIK: Most common type of laser vision correction; uses a laser to reshape the cornea's curvature. (Also known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis.)

• IntraLase FS technology: Highly accurate, blade-free technique; uses tiny, rapid laser pulses to create the corneal flap, which is the first step in the LASIK procedure.
• Allegretto Wave Eye-Q: Surpasses older LASIK technology by tracking eye movements in milliseconds to allow for extremely precise corneal shaping, the second step of LASIK.

PRK: Traditional corrective laser surgery for people who aren't candidates for LASIK. (Also known as photorefractive keratectomy.) Learn more.

Intacs: Corneal implants designed to treat patients with keratoconus. Learn more.

LenSx: Bladeless procedure allowing more precision, individualization and safety during cataract surgery. Learn more.
