As your trusted optometry practice in San Diego County, our experienced optometrists play a crucial role in helping you achieve visual freedom through careful evaluation, referral to trusted surgical partners, and comprehensive post-operative care.
Understanding Your Vision Correction Options
LASIK and PRK are revolutionary laser vision correction procedures that reshape your cornea to improve sight. While both procedures achieve similar results, they use different approaches. LASIK creates a small flap in the cornea’s outer layer, while PRK removes the surface layer, which naturally regenerates during healing.
