Corrective Lens Surgery & Refractive Eye Surgery Near You
Refraction Correction Surgery
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are all refractive errors that can impact a person's daily activities, like reading, driving, or using digital devices. Fortunately, there are several procedures available that aim to correct these issues and improve overall quality of life. By reshaping the cornea or replacing the natural lens, vision correction surgery is used to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
At Reeves Eye Surgery Center, we pride ourselves on being your trusted local provider of expert eye surgery services. Led by Dr. Donny Reeves, an experienced ophthalmologist, our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional care and optimal outcomes for our patients. With our state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge techniques, we offer a wide range of corrective eye surgeries, including PRK and LASIK, to address refractive errors.
If you're ready to take the next step towards clearer vision, we invite you to request an appointment with us today. We're excited to meet you and discuss how our personalized refractive eye surgeries can transform your vision and enhance your quality of life!
ORA System
The ORA System, short for Optiwave Refractive Analysis, is an advanced tool that enhances the precision and accuracy of refractive error correction procedures.
Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. The ORA System enables Dr. Reeves to precisely measure the eye's refractive power during surgery, allowing for real-time adjustments to achieve optimal visual outcomes.
Using wavefront technology, the ORA System captures detailed measurements of the eye's unique optical characteristics, providing valuable information about the cornea, lens, and overall vision quality. This data guides our surgeons in making informed decisions during procedures like PRK and LASIK, ensuring that the treatment is tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), also known as lens replacement surgery, is an advanced procedure designed to correct refractive errors and improve vision. It is an excellent option for individuals who are not suitable candidates for LASIK or PRK.
The natural lens is a transparent structure located behind the iris, which helps to focus incoming light onto the retina. As we age, the natural lens can become less flexible and may develop refractive errors or issues like cataracts. RLE involves removing the natural lens and replacing it with an artificial lens, also known as an intraocular lens (IOL), to correct these refractive errors and improve visual acuity.
EVO Implantable Collamer Lens
During a standard refractive lens exchange, the new artificial lens is used to replace the natural lens. With the EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), rather than replacing the natural lens, the EVO ICL is designed to be implanted behind the natural lens. This means that the procedure is reversible.
The EVO ICL is a biocompatible, flexible lens that can be customized to each patient's unique prescription. It works by correcting the refractive error and improving visual acuity without altering the natural anatomy of the eye. For patients with moderate to severe nearsightedness with or without astigmatism, EVO ICL surgery can provide excellent results.
LASIK
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a highly effective and popular refractive surgery procedure designed. During LASIK surgery, a skilled ophthalmologist utilizes a laser to reshape the cornea, which, in turn, allows light to properly focus onto the retina and improves vision.
LASIK surgery has a proven track record of success and high patient satisfaction. It provides long-lasting results, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for corrective eyewear. However, it's important to note that not everyone is a suitable candidate for LASIK surgery. A comprehensive eye examination will help Dr. Reeves determine if LASIK is the right option for you.
PRK
Similar to LASIK, PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) reshapes the cornea to improve the way light enters the eye, resulting in clearer vision without the need for corrective eyewear.
During the PRK procedure, an ophthalmologist gently removes the thin outer layer of the cornea, known as the epithelium. This is done to access the underlying corneal tissue. A laser beam is then used to precisely reshape the cornea, correcting the refractive errors that cause blurry vision.
PRK surgery is a safe and effective alternative to LASIK for individuals with thinner corneas or others who may not be suitable candidates for LASIK.
