The recent advancement of medical lasers now makes it possible
to correct your vision for nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia)
and astigmatism. The entire surgical process takes place in about 20 minutes
and can eliminate the need for corrective lenses. Laser vision correction
can truly change your life.
LASIK was first approved in America by the Food and Drug Administration
in November 1995, although the first laser procedure
was performed in Germany back in 1987. To date, there
have been over 4 million laser vision procedures
performed throughout the world.
Virtually all people treated have experienced an improvement
in vision that would allow them to pass a drivers' license exam without the
aid of eyeglasses or contacts. You may contact Northwest
Eye Physicians to schedule a free consultation to
determine if you are a candidate for laser vision
correction.
