Our optometrists will explain the purpose of your glasses’ prescription and when they should be worn. In the majority of cases, glasses will not cause any decreased vision that would not otherwise occur.

Laser eye surgery is used to correct cases of myopia (blurred distance vision), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Presbyopia, which causes the need to wear reading glasses or bifocals, cannot be corrected by laser surgery. As a result, individuals over 45 years will require reading glasses in most cases following surgery. Amblyopia (lazy eye) or other existing conditions that have caused damage to the eye or loss of vision, cannot be repaired by laser surgery.
