Optical procedures have come a long way. From the early days of PRK surgery to the carefully personalized custom LASIK surgery of today optometry in the hands of skillful surgeons can bring back sight for most conditions. Cataracts that used to leave people blind can now be easily removed and new lenses implanted. Until recently, however, these lenses left people needing correction for either near or distance sight. No more. The ReSTOR lens is different:

• 97% with this lens have 20/40 vision near and far without correction
• Uses the same technology as microscopes and telescopes to adjust focus with distance
• Uses materials specifically developed for ocular application
• Filters UV light to protect delicate eye structures from sun damage

Tidewater Eye Centers has partnered with Care Credit to insure you can afford this superior option. Contact us today for more information.

It's easy to be fooled into believing new technology is always better than old. That's definitely not true in vision correction. Custom LASIK surgery is the right choice in many circumstances, and cataract procedures with the ReSTOR lens can't be beat in others. Still, sometimes the best choice is older PRK surgery. Photorefractive Keratectomy uses cool ultraviolet light to reshape the cornea by precisely removing, or ablating, tiny bits of it. Using an Excimer laser it is preferable for people with thin corneas or to correct astigmatism. Other surgeons are impressed that this procedure has less structural alteration of the ocular structures than newer procedures and avoids the risks corneal flaps from these approaches have. Only a skilled professional should decide what is right for your eye condition, like those at Tidewater Eye Centers. We invite you to contact our LASIK Virginia offices today.
