Laser vision corrective surgery is one of the newest options to see clearly without the use of glasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery (at this time the treatment of choice) can treat myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia most often with outstanding results.
Just as with all elective surgeries, the decision to have laser corrective surgery should be made on an informed basis weighing all of the advantages, disadvantages and potential risks.
We at Spectrum Optometry have a long history of co-managing refractive surgery and can help you make the correct decision for your individual case. While we co-manage with several surgeons we are also affiliated with NVision in Newport Beach, one of the leading refractive practice groups. Even our own Dr. Pamela Wu had LASIK done in 2006 by Dr. Tooma.
If you are interested in this procedure our office is a great place to find out if you are a candidate for seeing clearly without glasses or contacts.
