Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis, better known as LASIK, is the most commonly performed laser eye procedure in the world. It’s one of the safest and most effective ways to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Our ophthalmologists also offer Photorefractive Keratectomy, more commonly called PRK, a laser vision correction that is often a good solution for people with thinner-than-normal corneas. Both LASIK and PRK represent advances over previous surgical treatments of vision problems and are thus viable alternatives to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses for many patients. Your surgeon will determine which procedure is best for your individual needs.

Cataracts are the leading cause of visual loss in adults 55 and over. A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside your eye. This lens, located behind the iris, works just like the lens of a camera – focusing light images on the retina, which sends images to the brain. The human lens can become so cloudy that it prevents light and images from reaching the retina. A cataract can be the reason sharp objects become blurred, bright colors become dull, and night vision becomes poor. Other symptoms of cataracts are trouble reading and halos or glare due to sunlight or oncoming traffic.

The Visian ICL is an Implantable Collamer Lens that works with the eye to correct vision. Unlike traditional contact lenses that go on the surface of the eye, the Visian ICL is positioned inside the eye between the iris (the colored part of the eye) and the natural lens where it stays indefinitely. If your vision changes dramatically, however, it can be removed.

Chances are high if you are in your 40s or beyond; you have begun to notice the effects of presbyopia. It might seem as if your arms aren’t long enough to read that menu. And, now you have an ever-growing collection of reading glasses. Most likely, presbyopia or “old eye” is the culprit. This normal, age-related loss of near focusing ability, requires vision correction solutions including presbyopia correction.

Glaucoma is not just one disorder, but is a group of eye disorders that may eventually lead to blindness. It is defined as damage to the optic nerve associated with a characteristic loss in the field of vision. Unfortunately, glaucoma has no signs or symptoms in the early stages, and by the time people notice loss of vision, the glaucoma has reached a very advanced stage.

The cornea is the front, dome-shaped, transparent part of the eye. The clarity and shape of the cornea are vital in its main role: focusing light onto the retina. There are a number of conditions that can affect the clarity and shape of the cornea, and in turn the quality of vision. Some of these conditions include: Keratoconus, Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy, scarring, and infections.

Nearly every disease affecting the human body has some sort of manifestation in the eye. For this reason, eye doctors refer to the eyes as the windows into our bodies. On many occasions, eye doctors are the first to diagnose a number of medical problems such as diabetes, thyroid disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sometimes even cancer.
