By changing the shape of the cornea, laser and refractive procedures can make blurred images clearer. Each procedure flattens or steepens the cornea as necessary either by the use of small bursts of laser energy or by a series of tiny, microscopic incisions.

This is good enough to pass a driver's exam in most states. In addition, we have a variety of monthly payment plans. Your insurance plan may cover this procedure, and your annual health plan may also cover the laser procedure. Again, because of the individualized cases, please ask one of our staff members. A no-interest financing plan is available with approved credit.
