Laser Vision Correction in the Spring at North Shore Eye Care, what you need to know.

 Here at North Shore Eye Care, we offer free consultations to see if you are a LASIK candidate. One of the reasons why we are so successful here at North Shore Eye Care is because we are very meticulous with our testing and strive to provide the most accurate results for our patients. Is it time for you to think about LASIK surgery. Not every one can have laser corrective surgery. There are many diagnostic tests that need to be done in order to make this decision. This includes but is not limited to: assessing pupil size, cornea thickness, cornea’s shape (topography), the health of the cornea, checking for dry eyes, patient’s prescription and age and the overall health of the eye. Laser refractive surgery has become so advanced in the last ten years and has had tremendous results. Laser vision correction (LASIK, PRK, LASEK) can correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Although there is currently no correction for presbyopia, some patients desire monovision where one eye (dominant eye) sees for distance and one eye (non-dominat eye) sees for close. If this is acceptable after a trial with contact lens to the patient, it is reasonable to proceed and customize the treatment with this prescription. At North Shore Eye Care we offer an unprecedented 2 years of interest free financing which makes having LASIK more affordable.
