Vision Correction Procedures in Wayne, PA

Vision Correction Procedures We Offer

LASIK

LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser so light can focus more accurately on the retina. It may be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism in appropriately selected patients. Recovery is typically relatively quick, and many patients notice clearer vision within the first few days.

PRK

PRK also reshapes the cornea with a laser, but it does not involve creating a corneal flap. Instead, it removes the outer surface layer of the cornea and allows it to regenerate after treatment. PRK may be a better option for some patients with thinner corneas or other factors that make LASIK less suitable.

SMILE

SMILE, short for small incision lenticule extraction, is a flap-free laser vision correction procedure primarily used for nearsightedness with or without astigmatism. A small piece of corneal tissue is created with a laser and removed through a tiny incision, changing the cornea’s shape and improving focus.

Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive lens exchange, also called clear lens extraction, replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens. The procedure may be considered for patients who are not ideal candidates for corneal laser procedures or who want to address certain refractive and age-related focusing concerns with a lens-based approach.

EVO ICL

EVO ICL is an implantable collamer lens placed inside the eye without removing the natural lens. It may be an option for patients with moderate to high nearsightedness, including some patients whose corneal thickness or prescription makes laser vision correction less appropriate. The toric version can also address astigmatism.
