We use a state of the art laser that adjusts to the unique curvature of each individual's corneal shape, improving visual results and reducing nighttime glare. The laser also tracks eye movement and makes adjustments 200 times per second. Each laser pulse is automatically checked three times and adjusted if necessary before it is delivered to the cornea. Each pulse is also non-overlapping, increasing accuracy and safety.
We offer free laser vision evaluations. Below are a few things to know in order to prepare for your consultation.

Lasik technology has been approved by the FDA and has been used in millions of vision correction procedures worldwide.
