The predecessor to LASIK, Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is an alternative technique used to help many individuals who struggle with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to achieve clearer vision and independence from glasses or contact lenses. Similar to LASIK, the procedure involves first removing the outer layer of cells of the cornea known as the epithelium and second treating or smoothing the corneal tissue using an excimer laser to deliver you your best vision yet – free of contacts & glasses! With advents in topography-guided procedures, patients are experiencing the vibrancy of colors and textures in a whole new prism of light!

The Implantable Contact Lens (ICL), also known as phakic intraocular lens (IOL), is an excellent alternative for patients who may not be good candidates for traditional LASIK or PRK treatment because of a high level of myopia, thin corneas, or due to suffering from dry eyes.

At Laser Eye Center™, we are proud to have introduced the latest in vision care technology, namely EVO Visian ICL™ by STAAR® Surgical.  This incredible phakic IOL is an Evolution in Visual Freedom.  It has been crafted to provide exceptional refractive outcomes, concurrently enhancing patient comfort. EVO is an excellent treatment for myopia and astigmatism, capable of effectively treating a wide range of refractive error.

Our surgeons are at the cutting edge of technology and have pioneered the adoption of this new generation of EVO Visian ICLs adding to our suite of leading vision care solutions.  The procedure involves placing the ICL behind the iris of the eye by making a small incision to correct for myopia, or near-sightedness, as well as astigmatism. We use the latest technology to retrieve the exact dimensions for the lens implant. This allows our doctors to complete the process with outstanding accuracy, therefore achieving remarkable results. In under a half hour, the lens is rolled up, and implanted in the eye where it gently opens, virtually undetectable.

Patients love the visual acuity and convenience ICL offers, instantly noticing an improvement in their vision.  No longer worried about their need for glasses or regular contacts, they are now able to freely participate in the most mundane to adventurous of activities such as reading, swimming, or scuba diving, hassle-free.

ICL as a treatment has a 99% patient satisfaction rate given its fast recovery, superb acuity, and excellent night vision potential with more than 23 million patients choosing this solution world-wide over the last 23 years to achieve freedom from contacts and glasses for good.   Additional benefits of ICL include built in UV protection, excellent night vision, and in 94% of cases patients gain one or more lines in terms of their best corrected vision.  Lastly, ICL is 100% reversible since the cornea tissue will not be changed in any way.

Just like eyeglasses, the primary purpose of contact lenses is to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. For some, contacts are a preferable alternative to glasses, allowing more freedom than glasses can provide.

The process of fitting ‘hard’, or rigid gas-permeable, contact lenses is a two-part process. First, we will arrange for a comprehensive consultation to qualify you for fitted contacts as the best way for you to proceed based on your particular needs. Next, we will schedule you the contact lens actual fitting when our doctor will measure your eye’s surface, thoroughly examining your ocular surface quality, tear film, corneal curvature, eye structure, and other refractive data necessary to fit the lenses correctly. Based on the results, our doctor will prescribe the appropriate lens prescriptions and schedule any necessary follow-up visits.

With hard contact lenses, there is a longer adjustment period than with soft contact lenses. You should allow for a 2 to 4 week period for your eyes to adjust; And, once your eyes become accustomed to the new lens, you can expect to experience complete comfort even wearing these lenses overnight and as long as a week without the need to changd them.
