Life-Changing Vision Solutions, Personalized for Your Eyes
At Loden Vision Centers, we believe you deserve more than just a standard LASIK consultation. During your free consultation, you'll meet with one of our experienced doctors to discuss which of our advanced procedures might be right for you.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) remains one of the most popular and successful vision correction procedures available today. During this precise procedure, our LASIK surgeons create a thin flap in the cornea, then use advanced excimer laser technology to reshape the underlying corneal tissue according to your unique vision prescription. The flap is then repositioned, acting as a natural bandage that promotes rapid healing without the need for stitches.
LASIK is ideal for adults with stable vision prescriptions who desire greater visual freedom from glasses and contacts in their daily lives. Candidates typically have moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism with adequate corneal thickness to safely accommodate the procedure. Many patients experience dramatic vision improvement within 24 hours and can return to most normal activities the very next day, making LASIK particularly appealing for those with busy lifestyles seeking a quick recovery and minimal disruption to their routines.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) achieves vision correction results similar to LASIK but through a different approach. During this procedure, the surgeon gently removes the thin outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) before reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with the same precision laser used in LASIK. Unlike LASIK, no flap is created, making the procedure structurally different while achieving comparable visual outcomes.
PRK is ideal for patients with thin corneas that cannot accommodate the creation of a LASIK flap, as well as individuals in high-impact professions or contact sports where eye trauma is possible. Military personnel, first responders, and athletes often prefer PRK due to its structural advantages, eliminating any risk of flap complications. Though recovery takes slightly longer than LASIK, the end results are equally impressive.
The EVO Implantable Collamer Lens represents some of the latest advancements in vision technology, offering crystal-clear vision without removing corneal tissue. This innovative 15-minute procedure is ideal for adults between 21 and 45 with moderate to severe nearsightedness. The EVO ICL provides built-in UV protection and superior night vision quality, making it perfect for active lifestyles. As a removable solution, it offers peace of mind while delivering exceptional visual results.
EVO ICL is especially beneficial for patients with moderate to severe nearsightedness who may not qualify for LASIK due to thin corneas or other factors. Those with active lifestyles appreciate the superior night vision quality and UV protection built into this reversible procedure, while individuals concerned about dry eye syndrome find comfort in a solution that doesn't alter the corneal surface. The biocompatible material works harmoniously with your natural eye, providing vision correction that many patients report feels more natural than other options.
RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) is a sophisticated procedure that can eliminate or reduce dependency on glasses at all distances while preventing the need for future cataract surgery. It's particularly beneficial for those seeking to address both distance and near vision challenges with a single, lasting solution.
Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, RLE changes the eye's focusing power by replacing the natural lens with a high-quality lens implant. This procedure has a long history of predictable outcomes, fast visual stabilization, and minimal side effects. RLE can also be combined with laser or incision options to correct astigmatism.
Patients with early cataract development and those over 55 who need corrective lenses for distance vision but aren't LASIK candidates benefit most from this procedure. A significant advantage is that RLE eliminates the need for cataract surgery later in life, providing clear vision for many years to come.
