Decreasing Reliance on Glasses & Contacts
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you’ve probably thought about what life might be like if you didn’t have to. We provide consultations and co-management for laser vision correction. If you’re a good candidate for surgery, we can recommend a surgeon for your procedure.
In your consultation, we’ll be sure to discuss your expectations for the surgery. Many people experience improved vision after their procedure, but there are certainly those who still need glasses or contact lenses post-surgery.
But laser eye surgery almost always decreases reliance on corrective lenses.
We will help you navigate the different types of laser eye surgery available and determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure. After a comprehensive eye exam, we can help you understand your options and which style of laser vision correction might suit your situation.

In order to be considered a candidate for laser eye surgery, your eyes must be in good health. Infections, severe dry eye, or recent trauma may mean you’ll need to delay the procedure.
Here are a few other considerations for surgery:
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- Your refractive error must not be too great.
- Your prescription must be stable.

Request AppointmentWhat Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery is a group of procedures—all just a little bit different—that use a laser to correct refractive errors in your vision.
Technological advances have made several types of laser vision correction possible, but 3 of the most common types are LASIK, PRK, and SMILE.
LASIK
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) involves a surgeon cutting a flap in your cornea. This flap is then folded back, and the remaining layers are reshaped with a precision laser.
Once the reshaping is complete, the surgeon will return the flap to its original position and the cornea will repair itself. Post-surgery surveys report extremely high levels of satisfaction with LASIK.
PRK
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) involves the surgeon removing the top layer of the cornea altogether, then reshaping the remaining layers.
Is Laser Surgery Right for Me?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with laser eye surgery. We can help you understand the risks and support you in making an informed decision.
