Clear Vision Starts with the Right Guidance
Laser eye surgery can be a great option for people who want long-term vision correction without relying on glasses or contact lenses. At Legacy Eye Care, we offer comprehensive laser surgery consultations and co-management to help you understand your options and make informed decisions about your eye health.
Whether you’re considering LASIK, PRK, or cataract surgery, our team is here to assess your candidacy, explain the process, and guide you through every step, from referral to post-operative care.
Let’s find the right path for your vision. Contact us to book your laser eye surgery consultation today.
What Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery corrects refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia by reshaping the cornea.
It can greatly reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear, depending on your vision and lifestyle. 2 of the most commonly recommended procedures are LASIK and PRK, but we also offer co-management services for your cataract surgery procedure.
What Is LASIK?
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is the most popular laser vision correction option.
The surgeon cuts a flap in the side of the cornea and folds it back. They will then use an excimer laser to reshape the tissues below, correcting refractive errors. The flap is then replaced to act as a bandage and is left to heal on its own.
LASIK tends to heal quickly and with less post-operative discomfort than PRK. However, the flap created during the procedure may be prone to injury and complications.
What Is PRK?
Photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK) corrects refractive errors by reshaping the cornea, the eye’s clear outer dome.
The surgeon begins by removing the epithelium (the outer layer of the cornea) with a surgical blade and then uses the excimer laser to reshape the tissue under the cornea just enough to correct vision. A bandage lens is then placed on the eye to help with healing.
PRK has a high success rate and is generally considered safer and more effective than LASIK because it doesn’t leave a corneal flap. However, it takes longer for your eyes to heal and can be a more uncomfortable procedure.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
If you’re considering cataract surgery, we also offer co-management services. We’ll work closely with your cataract surgeon to provide continuity of care, from pre-surgical assessments to post-operative checkups.
Our team will monitor your healing and visual outcome to ensure you achieve the best results from your procedure.
What to Expect from Your Consultation
Your consultation is a complete evaluation of your vision, ocular health, and goals. During your visit, we’ll:
- Conduct a thorough eye exam
- Review your prescription history
- Discuss your expectations and lifestyle
- Explain the pros and cons of available surgical options
- Refer you to a trusted local laser surgery provider if appropriate
We’ll also address any potential risks or side effects and talk honestly about what to expect after surgery, including whether you may still need reading glasses as you age.
