LinkWe Help You Choose the Right Procedure
Each procedure we offer works a little differently—and the best choice depends on your eyes, your lifestyle, and your long-term vision goals. Here's a closer look at how they compare, so you know what to expect when you meet with your specialist.
- LASIK Eye Surgery
A widely performed laser procedure that creates a corneal flap and reshapes the tissue underneath. Most patients experience quick recovery and minimal discomfort. - PRK Surgery
A good alternative to LASIK for patients with thinner corneas or certain corneal conditions. PRK removes the outer layer of the cornea before applying the laser. Healing takes slightly longer, but the long-term results are excellent. - SMILE Eye Surgery
A minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to create and remove a thin disc (lenticule) within the cornea. SMILE preserves more corneal tissue and may be a better fit for active lifestyles or patients with dry eye sensitivity.
Not sure which procedure is right for you—or whether laser vision correction is the right choice at all? That’s exactly what your consultation is for.
During your consultation, our ophthalmologists will perform detailed testing to determine whether one of these procedures is the right option for your vision needs.
Note: Certain factors, such as chronic dry eye, autoimmune conditions, or pregnancy, may affect eligibility for surgery. Your provider will review these considerations with you and discuss all risks, benefits, and alternatives.

FAQs
Most patients qualify if they are over 18, have a stable prescription for at least a year, and don’t have conditions like keratoconus, uncontrolled dry eye, or autoimmune disorders. Pregnancy and certain medications may also affect eligibility. We’ll perform a detailed evaluation—including corneal scans and tear tests—during your consultation to determine if LASIK, SMILE, or PRK is right for you.
All three procedures reshape the cornea to correct vision, but the techniques vary:
- LASIK creates a flap before laser treatment.
- PRK removes the outer corneal layer before reshaping.
- SMILE uses a small incision to remove a thin disc inside the cornea.
Each has its own recovery timeline and advantages. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your eyes and lifestyle.
Recovery varies by procedure:
- LASIK: Most return to normal activities in 1–2 days.
- PRK: Takes longer, with 4–7 days of initial healing and gradual vision improvement.
- SMILE: Visual recovery often takes just a few days.
We’ll provide specific guidance and follow-up to support your healing.
No. Numbing drops keep the procedure comfortable. You may feel light pressure, but not pain. Afterward, LASIK and SMILE cause mild discomfort like dryness or irritation. PRK recovery involves more surface sensitivity for a few days, but we’ll help manage it with eye drops and medication if needed.
Laser vision correction is very safe when performed by experienced surgeons using advanced diagnostics. Side effects like halos or dry eye are usually temporary. Serious complications are rare. We take every step to evaluate your risk profile and create a personalized treatment plan.
Most insurance plans don’t cover LASIK because it’s considered elective.
Yes—LASIK, PRK, and SMILE are all approved for correcting astigmatism. Our advanced diagnostic tools help ensure precise treatment. Whether you have low, moderate, or high astigmatism, we’ll assess your eligibility and explain your best options.
To protect your eyes while they heal, avoid rubbing them, swimming, hot tubs, dusty environments, and eye makeup for at least 1–2 weeks. Wear sunglasses outdoors and use lubricating eye drops as directed. We’ll walk you through a full recovery plan after your procedure.
Yes—laser vision correction is typically done on both eyes in one appointment. This approach is safe and allows for a single recovery period. You’ll need a driver on surgery day and may experience temporary blurry vision for a few hours.
Vision results are long-lasting for most patients. The changes to your cornea are permanent, but age-related conditions like presbyopia may still develop later. Some patients may eventually need reading glasses or enhancements. Regular eye exams help monitor long-term outcomes.
