LASIK is a refractive surgery which can reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser, causing light to focus correctly on the retina. Success rates with LASIK are very impressive. Today LASIK is able to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Not everyone can be a candidate for LASIK. To find out if you are a candidate, call 801-676-2020 today or click to request your FREE LASIK Consultation.

Trying to make sense of refractive surgery jargon can be confusing.  We’ll take the time to explain the terminology – things like the difference between “conventional LASIK” and “custom LASIK”.  We’ll tell you about “blade free” Intralase and help you understand the risks and benefits of all these options.

If testing shows you to be a good candidate, we arrange your surgery with one of our affiliated surgeons.  When it's time for surgery, we coordinate with your surgeon and provide pre-operative testing, post-LASIK follow-ups, and ongoing care after surgery.

Those who are not LASIK candidates may be candidates for other surgical alternatives.  PRK is an option for some.  Others may benefit from “clear lens extraction” or “intra-cameral lens implants” which place lenses inside the eye.  With these options, many who were too highly nearsighted for LASIK are now candidates for refractive surgery.  New multifocal lens implants are also available which offer an option for people to replace their bifocal glasses.

Each person's visual demands are different.  Recommendations for refractive surgery should be based on your individual circumstances.

No one is better able to advise you about your surgical options than your optometrist—the one who knows your vision needs best.
