Excimer Laser

A number of procedures are available for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. This is called refractive surgery. Most people are familiar with Lasik, which is only one method utilizing the excimer laser. With these procedures, the cornea is reshaped. In order to determine if one is a candidate for any of these, various measurements must be taken first. Your Ophthalmologist would then decide which type of surgery would offer the best chance of success.
