Laser Refractive Procedures

When considering LASIK and other laser-refractive procedures, Pearle Vision recommends that you select a reputable surgeon who has extensive experience in this area.

"When I became an optometrist over 50 years ago, there was basically one option for vision correction — eyeglasses," explains Dr. Stanley C. Pearle founder of Pearle Vision.

Today, laser refractive procedures may reduce individuals' dependence upon other forms of vision correction. A laser light is used to reduce or correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Statistics show that myopic or near-sighted patients respond better to laser refractive surgery than those with other conditions.This procedure cannot correct presbyopia, or the gradual inability to read small print or focus on close objects, due to the aging process.

An independent doctor of optometry located at the Pearle Vision near you is qualified to form an initial evaluation and discuss your refractive surgery options.
