Lens-Based Refractive Surgery: Exploring Advanced Options for Vision Correction

Image
  For individuals who may not be ideal candidates for traditional laser refractive surgeries like LASIK and PRK, lens-based refractive surgery presents a valuable alternative. Our experienced team, led by some of the best LASIK surgeons in Jacksonville , provides cutting-edge solutions in this field, ensuring optimal outcomes for a wide range of patients. One of the most common types of lens-based refractive surgery is modern cataract surgery, which involves replacing a cloudy lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure can also be performed preemptively to address refractive errors before cataracts develop, a process known as refractive lens exchange (RLE). Depending on the type of IOL used, RLE can effectively treat conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Premium Lens Implants While standard monofocal IOLs improve vision at a single distance, typically far, many patients find they still need glasses for near and intermediate tasks after cataract sur

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK): A Minimally Invasive Vision Correction Method

Image
  Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape the cornea, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. While often compared to LASIK surgery , PRK is a unique approach that provides similar outcomes with distinct differences in the surgical process and recovery. We utilize advanced computerized excimer lasers to perform this procedure, ensuring precision and safety for our patients. The PRK Procedure PRK involves the gentle removal of a thin layer of tissue from the corneal surface using a state-of-the-art excimer laser. This laser reshapes the cornea, allowing it to better focus light onto the retina, which improves vision clarity. Unlike LASIK, which involves creating a flap in the cornea, PRK directly targets the surface layer, making it an excellent option for patients with thinner corneas or other considerations that may not make them ideal LASIK candidates. The entire PRK treatment typically takes between 10 t
