Discover Clearer Vision Without Glasses or Contacts

If you’re tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses, laser vision correction might be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Van Buren Optical, we begin with a thorough eye exam and personalized consultation to understand your visual needs, overall eye health, and lifestyle. 

During this visit, we’ll review what you hope to achieve and determine whether refractive surgery could help reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. Many patients experience significant improvements after treatment, though a small number may still need glasses or contacts afterward.

Who Should Consider Laser Vision Correction?

Not everyone is a good candidate for laser eye surgery. Ideal candidates typically:

  • Are 18 years or older
  • Have a stable prescription
  • Are free of active eye infections or certain health issues

Certain conditions, such as severe dry eye or recent eye trauma, may require addressing before moving forward. To find out if laser vision correction is right for you, schedule a consultation with our team.

What Is Laser Vision Correction?

Laser vision correction refers to procedures that use advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. These procedures aim to improve visual clarity and reduce dependency on glasses or contacts.

LASIK
Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is one of the most commonly performed vision correction procedures. It involves creating a small flap on the cornea, reshaping the underlying tissue with a precision laser, and then replacing the flap so the eye can begin healing.
PRK
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) smoothes the cornea’s front surface by removing the outer layer before reshaping the eye with a laser. This method can be a good alternative for patients who aren’t ideal candidates for LASIK.
