LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at Bucci Laser Vision corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using advanced laser technology. Our Bladeless LASIK option ensures a precise, flapless procedure for enhanced safety and faster recovery. Patients achieve improved vision within days, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. CustomVue technology tailors treatments to individual eye anatomy, optimizing outcomes for active lifestyles and professional demands.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular implants. Using the LensAR femtolaser, we ensure precision and minimal recovery time. Multifocal and extended-depth-of-focus lenses restore clear vision at multiple distances, eliminating bifocals. Dr. Buccis expertise in advanced techniques, including Light Adjustable Lenses, allows post-operative customization for optimal clarity and patient satisfaction.
Premium Lens Implants
Premium lens implants offer superior vision correction beyond standard monofocal lenses. Multifocal and toric implants address presbyopia, astigmatism, and cataracts in one procedure. Patients enjoy clear distance, intermediate, and near vision, reducing dependency on glasses. Dr. Buccis pioneering work in multifocal lens combinations ensures high satisfaction rates and long-term visual independence.
Bladeless LASIK
Bladeless LASIK utilizes femtosecond laser technology to reshape the cornea without manual incisions. This method enhances safety, accuracy, and comfort compared to traditional LASIK. Patients experience minimal downtime and achieve sharper vision within hours. CustomVue treatments address unique imperfections, making it ideal for those with active lifestyles or high visual demands.
Light Adjustable Lens
The Light Adjustable Lens allows post-operative vision fine-tuning using UV light. After cataract removal, this FDA-approved implant is adjusted to meet individual preferences, ensuring optimal clarity. Patients preview adjustments before finalizing results, achieving personalized outcomes unattainable with standard lenses. This technology reduces the risk of post-surgery refractive errors and enhances satisfaction.

I struggled with really bad/poor vision from 13-45 yrs old- heavy glasses requiring "thinnest possible lenses" always! I feel like what Dr. Bucci does is a true miracle! After having new lenses inserted- I didn't feel any pain; After a couple days my vision was excellent. I can wake up in the middle of the night & see automatically without reaching for my glasses. I'm impressed!

.BUCCI Sucks. He operated on my eye and I left his office with an Infection. The pain was Terrible. I tried to contact him and he was no where to be found. I had an appointment the next day and told him how my eye was and he said to give it some time. He told me to come back in a week. I went to Wills Eye in Philadelphia and they had to Drain the Infection and Inject Antibiotics into my eye to try to save it.
They said If I waited the week the Infection could have blinded my eye. They told me the infection did do some damage to my eye. I now cannot see as good as I did before he operated on me. Total Nightmare. He has cost me good vision, pain, stress, anxiety, and thousands of dollars out of pocket and I still cannot see good out of my eye. He never even got in touch with me to see how I was doing. Find yourself a Doctor that cares about his patients, not one that is running an Assembly Line. It's all about the Money, You are only a Number and Dollar signs at his practice.

I had the worst experience going to Dr. Bucci. More interested on how much he can get out of you and not your care. Had cataract surgery and he never explained anything about the procedure just how much the lenses would cost. Had 1st one and felt everything. Went back in two weeks for the other eye. Told anesthesiologist that I felt the 1st one and didn't want to feel anything on this one. It was worse and the pain was so bad. Having nothing but problems now and going to a new eye surgeon to fix. Hated the whole experience. It was like an assembly line and no one cared about you, just about billing you.

Dr. Bucci has just recently done lasik surgery on my son and we're beyond satisfied with the results. Himself along with his staff are very helpful and professional. They do excellent work, we've been using their service for the last 10 years and will continue to go to them.

I didn't know what to expect when getting the lasik surgery, it's quick, no pain, and Dr Bucci was so professional and clear about the procedure, today 20 years later I'm still going strong, .only downside is it's expensive but it works. Lol
