LASIK

In Sacramento & Roseville, California

LASIK is the most advanced form of Laser Vision Correction and it has helped thousands of patients improve their vision and reduce their dependence on glasses and contacts.

LASIK, or laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is used to correct a variety of common vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

During the LASIK procedure, our state-of-the-art VISX Star S4 IR Excimer Laser produces a cool ultraviolet light in order to remove a small amount of corneal tissue - typically less than the thickness of a human hair - allowing light to be more sharply focused on the retina.
