Surgical Vison Correction
Paula Hearld
I had contemplated the LASIK procedure for quite a while before I approached Dr. Peterson. Because I wore hard contact lenses for over 20 years, Dr. Peterson warned me that I might have a 6-12 month waiting period because my eyes needed to return to their original state before LASIK. The wait was well worth it. Now I love getting up in the morning without fumbling for my glasses...read more LASIK success stories
LASIK, a form of refractive surgery, is an option for vision correction without needing to wear glasses or contact lenses. Simply put, LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser.
Recently, other surgical alternatives have become available. Among these is a technique called phakic IOL implantation which involves implanting a lens behind the cornea, but in front of the iris. With this new option, many of those who were too highly nearsighted for LASIK are now candidates for refractive surgery.
 If you are interested in refractive surgery, please let us know. Refractive surgery is not to be taken lightly. Detailed testing is necessary to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the surgery. If testing shows you to be a good candidate, we can help you choose the refractive surgeon who is most appropriate for your case. In addition, we provide post-operative care for refractive surgery.
