Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery has become one of the most popular solutions for reducing dependence on corrective lenses. Our optometrist co-cares both LASIK and PRK surgeries at our clinic, and works directly with our surgeons. Both LASIK and PRK reshape your cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Overnight Vision Correction Retainer
For patients seeking a non-surgical option to correct their vision problems, our doctor can prescribe a special contact lens that gradually reshapes the cornea during sleep. Corneal refractive therapy (CRT), also known as orthokeratology, can safely and effectively correct the vision of children and adults.
