Since lasers are light, and the eye is designed to let in light, lasers can be used to treat eye disease without cutting.
Lasers can restore or stabilize vision and prevent severe loss of vision in many situations.
They can also be used cosmetically to remove wrinkles and scars, and to improve the quality of life by correcting near sightedness. Laser surgery is convenient and usually painless. All of our physicians and technical staff are specialty trained in laser procedures. When people are nearsighted the surface of the eye is too curved. Lasers can be used to flatten the front of the eye to correct the near-sightedness.
