LASIK and other types of refractive surgery can be life-changing for the right patient, but deciding if it’s the right option takes thoughtful evaluation. At Livermore Optometry Group, we don’t perform surgery in-house, but we provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care for patients exploring vision correction.
Our role is to help you make an informed decision and support you through every step of the process, from your initial consultation to recovery and beyond.
Refractive surgery is a procedure designed to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses or contact lenses. The most common types include:
LASIK: Uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
PRK: A surface-based procedure for patients with thinner corneas or specific medical considerations
Depending on your prescription and eye health, your eye doctor may recommend emerging treatments. Not everyone is a candidate for surgery, which is why a thorough exam and honest discussion are essential.
As your primary eye care provider, our team is vital in preparing you for surgery and supporting your recovery.
