Thank you for inquiring about the Refractive Surgery Services at Cornerstone Eye Associates. We welcome the opportunity to provide information on this exciting field.

Simply put, "refractive surgery" is to reduce or eliminate the dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Technology has improved dramatically over the last several years, making this type of surgery very safe, predictable and stable. These are outpatient procedures, enabling people to promptly get back to their regular activities with the freedom to see more clearly.

The most popular form of refractive surgery is called LASIK (Laser in situ keratomileusis). This procedure utilizes laser to reshape the inner layer of the cornea.

However, LASIK is not for everyone. Some patients have prescriptions or other ocular conditions for which LASIK may not be most efficacious. There are other options such as PRK, LASEK, intraocular lens implants and other investigational possibilities.

To perform such technologically advanced procedures, Cornerstone Eye Associates insists on the highest standards of care and the best technology. Our refractive surgeon, Dr. Omar Hanuch, brings more than 10 years of experience in this specialty and has made every effort to remain at the forefront of vision care by employing the latest technologies available.
