Lessen Your Reliance on Corrective Eyewear
While glasses and contact lenses are great, you may not want to rely on them all the time. Laser eye surgery may be right for you if you wish to see clearly without needing corrective lenses. Eye Sea Davis Optometry offers laser eye surgery consultations, supporting your journey to clearer sight.
We’re here for all of your surgery-related questions. Visit us in Davis, and we can determine if laser eye surgery is right for you.
Our Role in the Surgical Process
While we don’t perform your surgery, we’re with you throughout the surgical process. We offer pre- and post-operative care, providing surgical consultations and support after your procedure finishes.
We conduct a comprehensive eye exam during your consultation to see if you’re eligible for laser eye surgery. Additionally, we’ll review which surgery option best meets your needs. We’ll refer you to a trusted surgeon, like NVISION Eye Center, to complete your operation.
Our support continues after your procedure. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to assess how your eyes are healing and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Types of Laser Eye Surgery
Many surgical options exist to help improve your vision, whether with lasers or artificial lenses. We focus on laser eye surgery at our practice, helping you see better with help from a trusted surgeon.
We can review your eligibility and explain the details of Wavefront and Femto LASIK. These surgeries involve using a specialized laser to remove precise amounts of corneal tissue.
Wavefront LASIK
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a common laser eye surgery used to correct refractive errors. While standard LASIK can be effective, there is still the chance for visual issues from higher-order aberrations (HOAs). HOAs are unique problems in the cornea, causing halos, glare, and decreased contrast.
Wavefront LASIK helps your surgeon address HOAs by creating a 3D corneal map before surgery. This mapping of the eye helps identify its unique features. During surgery, your doctor can use this map to help provide optimal vision.
Femto LASIK
Femto LASIK is similar to traditional LASIK, except your eye heals quicker after surgery. Traditional LASIK treatment involves using a small blade to cut a flap into the cornea, letting your surgeon reshape the cornea. In Femto LASIK, your doctor uses a laser instead of a mechanical tool, helping the eye heal faster after the procedure is complete.
In Femto LASIK, your doctor cuts a small flap into the cornea to access its inner layers. They remove precise amounts of corneal tissue with a specialized laser to correct your refractive error. After completing the surgery, they lay the flap back in its original position.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery involves carefully removing the eye’s natural lens when it has become cloudy because of a cataract. The process begins with local anesthesia to numb the eye. Then, a blade or laser is used to make a small incision on the eye’s surface. Using a high-frequency ultrasound device, your surgeon breaks up the cloudy lens into small pieces and gently removes them. This is known as phacoemulsification.
Following this, an artificial lens, or intraocular lens (IOL), is inserted through the same incision and positioned into the lens capsule of the eye. This IOL takes over the light-focusing task previously performed by the natural lens.
