LASIK

LASIK is a 15-minute laser procedure that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea. Using FDA-approved WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser technology, our board-certified surgeons create a personalized treatment plan for each patient. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within 24 hours, with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery. This elective surgery eliminates dependence on glasses or contacts for active lifestyles.

SMILE

SMILE is a blade-free, flapless procedure that corrects myopia and astigmatism using the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser. A small 3mm incision removes corneal tissue for faster healing and reduced dry eye risk. The 25-second treatment requires no excimer laser, making it quieter and odorless. Patients typically resume normal activities within 1-2 days, with visual recovery occurring faster than traditional LASIK.

Cataract Surgery

Robotic laser cataract surgery combines femtosecond laser precision with advanced intraocular lens implants. This FDA-approved procedure removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium options like multifocal or toric lenses. The automated system creates precise incisions for improved accuracy, reducing dependence on glasses post-surgery. Recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks with significant vision improvement within days.

PRK

PRK reshapes the cornea's surface without creating a flap, making it ideal for patients with thin corneas. The excimer laser treatment takes less than a minute per eye, with vision stabilizing over 3-6 months. Recovery involves a protective contact lens worn for 4-5 days and medicated drops to manage discomfort. This FDA-approved procedure offers long-term visual acuity comparable to LASIK with enhanced corneal stability.

EVO ICL

EVO ICL is a reversible procedure for severe myopia, implanting a collamer lens behind the iris. Unlike laser procedures, it doesn't remove corneal tissue, making it suitable for thin corneas. The 10-minute surgery provides immediate vision improvement with UV protection benefits. Patients enjoy 20/20 vision without altering natural eye anatomy, with lens removal possible if needed.

Scheduling was fairly smooth. Billing was straight-forward. Office staff is friendly. Doctors are more than competent and provide time for questions and listen to answers. Facilitating getting medication for eye laser surgery was also hassle free and affordable. Consultation was very thorough and used actually fun and very advanced tech equipment. The actual laser surgery was much quicker and easier than I could have ever imagined.

I received SMILE. Expensive but great decision! I could see immediately after the surgery. Office provided me safety sunglasses to prevent debris entering my eyes while outside and comfortable "glasses" to wear at night to keep from rubbing my eyes. One week after surgery, I have 20/15 vision!

Super fast, efficient, service. Getting an appointment was quick and painless. Everyone there is professional and knowledgeable and personable. And 20/20 eyesight on the day after my SMILE operation?!?! Waaaat! Hell yeah! I have nothing but great experiences!

The ENTIRE team at LaserVue Eye Center was and has been fantastic from start to finish. I was able to schedule my initial consult online to learn about the process and costs, and then scheduled an in-person visit easily. The actual procedure was very quick! Recovery was 1 day, and I was back to work the next day. My vision before surgery was pretty good, 20/30, and I always wore glasses for movies, driving, sports, etc. After surgery, I am 20/15! Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with my Lasik. I have more than perfect vision now. The healing process was quick and painless. Everyone was so nice at the office and they were very reasonable regarding price and payment. I was very scared for the procedure but Dr. Bansal and his assistant were very professional and the procedure only took five minutes. I wish I would have done this yers ago and I highly recommend getting it done and getting it done at LaserVue.
