Laser Vision Correction

Our office prides itself on keeping current with all the changes and enhancments in eye care, so that we can make recommendations that improve your quality of life and vision.

Since the early '90's, laser vision correction has been available on a widespread basis. LASIK, the most commonly performed procedure, uses a laser to sculpt and precisely reshape the cornea, to correct prescriptive imperfections such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This reshaping helps the eye focus properly, thus reducing or eliminating the need for contact lenses or glasses.

Not everyone is a good candidate for laser vision correction, and only a specially trained doctor can determine whether or not you are a suitable candidate for this treatment. In order to provide this service to our patients, we have undergone rigorous instruction in this area and have been granted Clinical Affiliate status with the UCL.A Laser Center, and with Freedom Vision Laser Center.

If you are interested in laser vision correction, please call our office. We will review your most recent examination results to determine whether you are eligible for laser correction and will schedule an appointment.

We are pleased to work with some of the most experienced and well-respected refractive surgery specialists in the Southern California area, including:

Robert K. Maloney, M.D. - Maloney Vision Institute

David A. Wallace, M.D. - L.A. Sight Medical Center

Alan M. Berg, M.D. and Robert Feinfield M.D. - Berg / Feinfeld Vision Correction

Brad S. Elkins, M.D. - Ophthalmology Associates of the Valley
