Refractive Surgery is a general term that encompasses various surgical methods to correct a patient's vision – primarily nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), presbyopia and astigmatism -- without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
These methods include reshaping the cornea, the outer clear portion of the eye; implanting an artificial lens within the iris (the colored portion of the eye); or replacing the natural crystalline lens, a part of the eye that sits behind the iris, with a clear, fixed-power lens.
With continued improvements in technique and equipment, today's refractive surgery options can be confusing. Our surgeons utilize the very latest, most effective surgical procedures including NuSite™ Advanced Surface Ablation, Lasik, Visian ICL, Refractive Lens Exchange and Crystalens. Depending on your eye anatomy, lifestyle, and needs, certain procedures may be more suitable for helping to achieve better vision without glasses or contacts.
