The doctors at Vista Alliance are committed to providing the most advanced, safest, and best vision correction procedures available. We are actively involved in the research and development of every modern vision correction method. Instead of trying to fit every patient's vision correction needs into one type of procedure, we can offer each patient the best method available for their needs.
After a complete examination and consultation we will be more fully able to explore your options. In order to allow you to begin thinking about the options available to you, we are providing the general indications for each type of procedure, with a link to the procedure information area of this web-site below.
LASIK is a procedure that can treat a wide variety of vision problems. It is used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and even astigmatism. Although it cannot treat presbyopia, many patients with this problem choose to have their non-dominant eye corrected for reading. Due to the wide range of correction available, it is the most common vision correction procedure performed at Vista.
LASEK is a new procedure that uses the excimer laser to reshape the front of the eye. It is currently being used instead of PRK for patients with corneas that are to thin to treat with LASIK.
INtacs were developed specifically for the correction of low levels of nearsightedness. Although they do not treat astismatism, they are removable, returning the patient to their pre-operative refractive state.
SRP is surgery that places implants in the white portion of the eye to reverse the effects of lens growth and the eye's reduced ability to focus up close as we get older.
ICL is a lens that is placed in the eye for patients who are not candidates for LASIK.
