Laser Vision Correction
The cornea is the front surface of the eye that help focus light on the retina so we are able to see clearly. In most cases, the reason patients have blurry vision is because their corneas are not the ideal shape. By using a laser to re-shape the cornea, many patients are able to achieve the clear vision they desire.
Laser vision correction has become a very safe and effective way to correct vision. The most common type of laser vision correction today is called LASIK. It involves a quick and relatively painless recovery that provides the majority of patients with great vision results. Another common type of laser vision correction is called PRK. It involves a longer and slightly more uncomfortable recovery time than LASIK but is a much safer procedure for patients with higher prescriptions or that have had previous LASIK procedures.
The doctors at Casper Vision Center are very experienced in identifying which patients are good candidates for surgery and which patients would not benefit from the surgery.
