Refractive Eye Surgery

Refractive Eye Surgery

Advanced Eye Specialists For the Plano, TX Region

At Vision Source Plano, we co-manage two major types of refractive eye surgery - LASIK and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). We work with the top surgeons in DFW. The procedures of LASIK and PRK can procedure excellent results for most patients. Both procedures contour the cornea, but LASIK creates a flap that is used as a bandage to help the eye heal. Both of these techniques are used to reshape the cornea.


Our doctors would be more than willing to sit down with any interested patient to answer questions about which procedure might be best for them. In addition to our work on refractive surgeries, we also specializes in dry eye treatment, glaucoma, and diabetic management. Our vision center continues to provide patients with the advanced eye care, contact lenses, diabetic eye treatment, dry eye treatment, and preventative eye care services they need to live a better and healthier life.

Reasons for Refractive Eye Surgery



Refractive eye surgery can improve a variety of vision conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatisms. There are many reasons to consider refractive eye surgery. When you're considering any vision surgery, consult with your optometrist. They will be able to determine which type of refractive eye surgery is best for your vision condition. Check out the following section to see if refractive eye surgery is right for you.


Improve Vision

One of the greatest benefits of refractive eye surgery is that it will improve your vision. During both LASIK and PRK surgeries, the cornea is reshaped. This can immensely improve your vision, to the point where you will no longer need corrective lenses.


Convenience

Ultimately, improving your vision means that you will no longer need corrective lenses. You say goodbye to wearing glasses and inserting contact lenses in your eye. Over time, contact lenses can cause pain and discomfort to the eye from consistent wear. This is called contact lens intolerance (CLI) Even if you never had issues with contact lenses initially, the intolerance could still develop. Refractive eye surgery is a perfect option for those who don’t want to wear glasses and are suffering from CLI.


Cost-Effectiveness

Refractive eye surgery may seem pricey but it’s a long-term investment. Think of all the glasses and contact lenses you’ve bought over the years. Refractive eye surgery can improve your vision, meaning you’ll no longer need glasses or contact lenses. Ultimately, this one-time investment will save you a lot of money in the long run.
