Refractive Eye Surgery has become well known over the past
few years. Advances is technology and techniques have made
this more predictable and safer. Laser Assisted Surgical InSitu
Keratomelusis involves removing a flap of cornea and modifying
the shape of the underlying tissue which alters the prescription.
There are other procedures such as Lasek, PRK, RK, ALK. Sunset
uses a laser and is similar to Conductive Keratoplasty (CK),
which uses a radio/high frequency probe, to induce a change
in the shape of the cornea through scarring in the periphery.
These refractive changes are not considered to be permanent.
Wavefront Technology is another advancement that allows additional
customization when applying the laser. This allows the potential
for crisper vision. The Laser Optic Center has certified Dr.
Guhl in refractive surgery management. From his initial consultation
and pre-operative evaluation to post operative follow up,
he will manage your laser vision correction care. There are
several competent surgeons that we work together with depending
on your requirements.
