More About LASIK with Associated Eye Care
Drs. Lane, Schwartz, Park and Wu use modern technology and techniques to help patients achieve crystal clear vision. The surgeons use the Allegretto Wave excimer laser platform when performing LASIK surgery to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. They believe this platform offers the widest treatment zone, which leads to better peripheral and night vision. They also feel that it allows them to blend the treatment zone with the surrounding area of the cornea more smoothly which helps to minimize LASIK side effects such as glare, halos and poor vision in dimly lit environments.
In addition to LASIK, the surgeons at Associated Eye Care offer a variety of other procedures, including general eye care as well as more advanced treatments such as corneal transplant, cataract surgery and glaucoma diagnosis and treatment.
