Laser Vision Correction
Laser vision correction – often referred to as refractive surgery –
is an eye care procedure that reduces refractive error and
presbyopia without using glasses or contact lenses.
The term, “refractive surgery” refers to several procedures,
including LASIK, PRK, LASEK, Intacs, LTK, CK, AK, RK, and several
emerging techniques.
Today, LASIK is the most widely performed of all laser vision
correction procedures. For many patients – but certainly not all –
LASIK is the procedure of choice.
Laser vision correction is a process that starts with a
thorough preoperative evaluation to determine your candidacy for
success, and ends with regular postoperative care. In fact, the pre-
and postoperative exams are actually more important than the surgery
itself for maximizing the likelihood of your success.
At The Eye Site, we work with the finest refractive surgeons
in our area, managing your pre- and postoperative care right in our
offices – close to home – to optimize your success in reducing your
