Laser Correction

LASIK vision correction is not for everyone, but it might be suitable for your refractive error. People are concerned about this type of surgery including night driving problems.

The patients we have followed, who have under gone corrective laser surgery, rarely have this complication. The most common complication we see is dry eye for 6 to 12 months following the surgery. Be sure to use the eye drops as prescribed to reduce complications. Dr. Thompson will perform your post surgery visits.

If you are contemplating having the procedure done, be aware that a mild eye glass prescription may be required for either reading or distance. This is especially true for those who are over 45 years of age, since this is when presbyopia occurs.

TLC Laser Eye Centers

LASIK (Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis) is currently one of the most frequently performed elective procedures in North America. It is a highly effective outpatient procedure that is suitable for most low, moderate and higher prescriptions. LASIK uses a cool beam of light from the excimer laser to gently reshape the front surface (cornea) of your eye.

Our office works with TLC since their ophthalmologists are full time LASIK surgeons who have an excellent track record. TLC invests in the most up to date equipment while exceeding medical standards. In addition, TLC works closely with Dr. Thompson, Dr. Peddle and Dr. Donati.
