Laser eye surgery can reduce or even remove the need for glasses or contacts by reshaping the cornea to correct vision. It’s a safe and common option for people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or cataracts.
The first step is a consultation and a full eye exam to see if you’re a good candidate.
That’s a good question! Not everyone is suited for laser vision correction. Ideal candidates are adults with stable prescriptions and healthy eyes.
Laser surgery may not be recommended for people with very high or very low prescriptions, thin corneas, or certain health conditions.
A consultation and full eye exam will help determine if it’s right for you.
Laser eye surgery is usually quick, often taking less than 30 minutes for both eyes. Most patients notice clearer vision within a day or two, though full recovery can take a few weeks.
After surgery, follow-up visits are key to checking your healing and results. Our team provides ongoing eye exams and support to track your progress, answer your questions, and make sure your recovery is as smooth as possible.
We’re here to guide you through every step of your laser vision journey. From your first consultation to post-surgery follow-ups, our team provides the support you need to feel confident in your care.
We co-manage procedures like LASIK, PRK, and cataract surgery, working with trusted surgeons—including Dr. Mark Mandel at Optima Eye—to deliver safe, seamless treatment and recovery.
LASIK involves creating a thin flap in your corneal tissue, then reshaping it with a laser. LASIK is the most common laser eye surgery and often provides quick results with little downtime.
PRK reshapes the surface of the cornea without creating a flap. Recovery takes longer than LASIK, but it’s often preferred for patients with thinner corneas.
Once cataracts result in cloudy vision, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with a clear, artificial lens during cataract surgery. We provide exams and follow-ups, co-managing with your surgeon to provide complete care.
Thinking about laser eye surgery is a big decision, but it’s one that you don’t have to make alone. Our team can provide you with guidance, from your first consultation to post-surgery care.
