Laser Eye Surgery Consultation

Achieving Your Vision Goals at Ora Eyecare

If there’s one thing we love doing at Ora Eyecare, it’s helping our patients achieve their vision goals. Laser eye surgery is a vision correction procedure that helps our patients see clearly without the assistance of corrective aids.

We provide comprehensive laser eye surgery consultations for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and cataract surgery.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Laser eye surgery is a procedure that reshapes the cornea to address and correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

During your consultation, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation that may include:

A full medical evaluation of the eye
Eye dominance testing
Reviewing your eye history
Reviewing your different refractive surgery options

Laser vision correction is an excellent option for patients looking to reduce their reliance on their glasses or contact lenses, and we want to help our patients find the right procedure for them.

Exploring Different Procedures

Laser vision correction comes in various forms and different procedures. At Ora Eyecare, we’re here to help you understand the different procedures and find the best option for your unique visual needs.

LASIK Eye Surgery

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most well-known and commonly performed laser refractive surgery option to correct vision. LASIK is a quick procedure that can usually be done in 30 minutes or less.

During the procedure, your surgeon will use a precision instrument to create a small flap to access the part of your cornea that requires reshaping. Using the precision instrument, your surgeon removes tiny amounts of corneal tissue. Once the reshaping process is complete, your surgeon carefully places the flap back into place to heal.

Our team provides comprehensive post-surgery care, including follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process.

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

PRK surgery involves removing the cornea’s surface layer and reshaping the corneal bed with a precision laser. PRK can be ideal for patients whose cornea may be too thin to allow for LASIK safely.

A big difference is the recovery process between the 2 procedures—PRK recovery can take longer. Healing and visual recovery can take longer with PRK surgery because the outer layer of the cornea has to fully regenerate itself.

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts develop when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes clouded. When cataracts begin interfering with your daily activities, such as reading or driving, surgery is the only option to remove them.

During cataract surgery, your surgeon removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial implant known as an intraocular lens. Your surgeon will place the artificial intraocular lens in the same position as your removed natural lens.

Our team will provide post-surgery care to help check that your vision is optimal and there are no complications. For more information on cataracts, please visit our eye disease management page.
