LASIK Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is a refractive surgery used to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. LASIK is done with a laser to reshape the cornea of your eye. LASIK improves your vision and eliminates the need for corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. The LASIK procedure takes only 20 to 30 minutes and is usually very painless. LASIK surgery is not for everyone and thus it is essential that you schedule a consultation with the professionals at BoulderEyes/Beyer LASIK to discuss your options. Learn More >
PRK Photorefractive keratectomy, or PRK, is another refractive surgery for vision improvement. However, where LASIK surgery involves the creation of corneal flap, PRK is done without a corneal flap. This reduces complications during and after the procedure. PRK surgery can also sometimes be done when LASIK is not a suitable option due to corneas that are too thin. Recovery from PRK takes longer and can cause more discomfort than LASIK. In some cases, it can take several weeks for your vision to improve after PRK surgery. Learn More >
Corneal Collagen Cross Linking To help treat patients with keratoconus, Corneal Collagen Cross Linking (CXL) can strengthen the cornea as well as prevent further vision loss. Keratoconus weakens, thins, and bulges the cornea forward into the shape of a cone, resulting in poor vision. Fortunately, studies have shown that CXL successfully treats keratoconus and often prevents the need for a corneal transplant. Learn More >
