How Vision Works

Understanding how we see is crucial to understanding how vision correction works. When we look at an image, light first passes through the cornea, the outermost part of the eye. It then travels through the lens, which focuses on objects both near and far. As we age, the lens loses its ability to focus, often resulting in the need for reading glasses. Finally, the image is projected onto the retina, which sends the visual information to the brain via the optic nerve. Imperfections in vision can occur in any of these three areas: the cornea, lens, or retina.

Most vision correction procedures aim to improve the image entering the eye by reshaping the cornea’s surface. These imperfections, known as refractive errors, include nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

The cornea is steeply curved causing light to focuses in front of the retina, resulting in blurry distance vision requiring glasses to see object far away.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

The cornea is very flat causing light to focus behind the retina, resulting in blurry near vision, requiring glasses to objects up-close.

Astigmatism

The cornea is irregular shaped causing light to focus on multiple points on the retina, resulting in overall blurry vision. A common myth, people with astigmatism think they can not have vision correction – is false.

Laser Vision Correction Options

LASIK is a well-known term, but it’s just one of many Laser Vision Correction (LVC) options. Often, when people say they’ve had LASIK, they might actually have a different procedure.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution in vision correction; each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. With our expertise in vision correction, we can create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique vision, medical history, and lifestyle needs, ensuring outstanding results every time.

SMILE

SMILE Pro is a minimally invasive gentler type of laser vision correction. SMILE offers improved results and faster recovery.

Lens Replacement Options

While laser vision correction reshapes the cornea at the front of your eye, lens-based procedures work inside your eye to correct vision as light travels through. These advanced treatments can address vision problems that laser procedures cannot, including presbyopia (need for reading glasses) and cataracts. Lens replacement options are ideal for patients over 40, those with very high prescriptions, or when the natural lens has become cloudy.

These procedures involve replacing or supplementing your eye’s natural lens with advanced artificial lenses that can provide clear vision at all distances, often eliminating the need for glasses or contacts entirely.

Cataract Surgery

Advanced cataract surgery removes cloudy natural lenses and replaces them with artificial lenses for clear vision at all distances.

Is there any pain?

This depends on the type of treatment. With SMILE and LASIK there is no pain during or after treatment. With PRK you may experience a moderate amount of discomfort during the healing process.

How long is recovery?

This depends on the type of treatment. With SMILE recovery is instant with no restrictions. With LASIK recovery is one day with some restrictions that may injure your eyes for two weeks. With PRK recovery is one to three weeks with restrictions that may injure your eyes.

What results can i expect?

Results depend on your unique eyes. The majority of patients achieve their personal best vision and over 99% of patients are able to pass a drivers test without glasses.

I use reading glasses, can LASIK help?

It depends. If you only use over-the-counter reading glasses you may have Presbyopia, in this case No, LASIK is unable to treat presbyopia. If you use bifocal or progressive glasses – Yes LASIK may be an option.
