iLASIK
iLASIK is a bladeless laser procedure correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using advanced mapping technology, it reshapes the cornea for 20/20 vision. Ideal for patients seeking long-term freedom from glasses or contacts.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange replaces the eyes natural lens with an artificial one to correct severe refractive errors. This procedure benefits patients over 40, reducing dependency on reading glasses while improving distance vision.
Corneal Cross Linking
Corneal Cross-Linking strengthens weakened corneas in keratoconus patients. Using UV light and riboflavin, it halts disease progression, preserving vision and preventing further deterioration for improved long-term eye health.
Advanced Surface Ablation
Advanced Surface Ablation reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, ideal for patients with thin corneas. It offers a safer alternative to traditional LASIK, with comparable visual outcomes and reduced flap-related risks.
EVO Procedure
The EVO Procedure involves implanting a collamer lens to correct high myopia. This reversible option preserves natural eye anatomy while providing clear vision, suitable for patients unsuitable for laser-based surgeries.

INCREDIBLE. Accommodating, personable, professional, so fast. Worth every penny, and frankly then some. I was amazed by the entire experience from initial phone call to post-op visit. I could not recommend them more highly. All of their staff were kind, understanding, patient, and obviously well equipped and skilled to do what was needed of them at the time it was needed. So very very thankful for the team!

The surgery was quick and even though I had a difficult time keeping my eyes open the doctors were able to work around it and never got frustrated with me. I had some general discomfort for the first few hours following the surgery but by the next day I was seeing 20/20 and the dryness is all but gone. It was an uncomfortable surgery in the moment, however it was entirely pain free and the recovery time is extremely fast! I'd recommend I LASIK to any one who can handle 15 minutes of discomfort!
