No matter what your age, if you're interested in seeing life in clear, vibrant color with more freedom from contact lenses, glasses, bifocals, and even reading glasses, we've got vision correction options for you!
Age 18 – 50
If you're interested in visual freedom from glasses and contacts, we have vision correction options that can help! Treatments such as All-Laser LASIK, All-Laser Contoura® LASIK, PRK, and Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) are designed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to allow you more freedom to do what you love most without corrective lenses.
Age 45 – 60
Many people experience refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism over our lives, causing the need to wear glasses and contact lenses. Some of us have enjoyed great natural vision our whole lives, but notice a change in their vision after the age of 40.
Over 40, a natural aging process, presbyopia, starts to cause the natural lens inside our eye to lose its flexibility, making it difficult to focus at all distances. You may find that you need to use over the counter reading glasses or remove your glasses or contact lenses to see up close. Others may need to rely on monovision contact lenses, bifocals, or trifocals to see clearly at all distances. Regardless, these vision changes over 40 can begin to affect your active lifestyle.
RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) is a popular option for those over the age of 45 who could never have dreamed that freedom from glasses, contacts, and even reading glasses was a possibility. RLE corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, AND presbyopia, providing options for vision to match your lifestyle, while greatly reducing the need for glasses and contacts for great vision at all distances! And when you have RLE, you will never need cataract surgery in the future.
