REFRACTIVE SURGERY EVALUATION

Resolving Vision, One Eye at a Time

Refractive eye surgery involves reshaping the cornea (front surface of the eye) to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (an irregular shape of the eye). This type of surgery requires a refractive surgery evaluation to determine which method is best for our patients. For more information on RES check out the American Academy of Ophthalmology website.

If Refractive Eye Surgery is an option you’d like to explore, we can conduct the specialized refractive eye evaluation testing necessary to determine if it’s suitable for you, and if it is, we can also help you find the right refractive surgeon for your needs. Once the surgery is complete, we can provide post-op care, which includes working with your surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome for your treatment.
