Considering LASIK

LASIK Candidates: Conditions Of The Eye

Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are common causes of blurred vision. Traditionally, the treatments for these eyesight conditions have been contacts or eyeglasses. These solutions are only temporary, but LASIK can enhance your vision for life. Utilizing the latest in laser technology, our LASIK specialists, Dr. Gary Schwartz, Dr. Jesse Vislisel, and Dr. David Park, are able to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

If you’re ready to eliminate the inconvenience of glasses or contact lenses, LASIK vision correction may be right for you. For information or to schedule your free LASIK screening, call 888-466-2020.

LASIK: Self-Test

Monovision

The lens inside the eye becomes stiffer with age and loses its ability to bring close objects into clear focus. LASIK can restore some degree of near vision using a technique called monovision. With monovision, the dominant eye is placed in best focus at far distances and the non-dominant eye is placed in focus at near. Using the two eyes together, both distant and near images are received. Monovision treatments are commonly recommended to patients over 40 to reduce dependency on reading glasses. Ask your surgeon if monovision is right for you.

Financing Your Most Important Investment

We know that navigating through the many different financing options for LASIK can be stressful. That’s why we promise to present you with all the different available options to help you select the one that is right for you. LASIK is an investment but it’s an investment in your vision, and money should never stand in the way. That’s why we offer a variety of financing options, including flexible interest plans.

What Else Should I Ask My Doctor?

It’s very important to be sure that you are a good candidate. While it’s important to know how many procedures your surgeon has performed, it’s perhaps more important to ask how many patients your surgeon turns away. Associated Eye Care is conservative and will not recommend LASIK for those it does not feel are good candidates—this is why we perform such thorough pre-operative examinations. Fortunately, the vast majority of people are excellent candidates for the procedure.

LASIK: FAQ

LASIK Alternatives

Not all patients are candidates for LASIK. Some are more suited to other procedures such as PRK or Refractive Lens Exchange. During your Free Personalized LASIK Evaluation, your surgeon will determine which procedure is most suited to your visual needs.
