Refractive Surgery / LASIK

The Refractive Surgery Division is devoted to improving patients' vision. 

Refractive surgery is any eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea or cataract surgery. The most common methods today use excimer lasers to reshape curvature of the cornea. Successful refractive eye surgery can reduce or cure common vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. 

The most common refractive surgery technique used at the Havener Eye Institute is Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). Click here to Learn more about LASIK.
