Services > LASIK

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.
