More About Kornmehl Laser Eye Associates
Each staff member at Kornmehl Laser Eye Associates has been hand-picked and personally trained by Dr. Kornmehl. Each patient is provided a thorough examination by Dr. Kornmehl to determine whether he or she qualifies for surgery and, if so, the best surgical option. For LASIK surgery, Dr. Kornmehl uses the VISX CustomVue excimer laser system. This wavefront-guided custom LASIK system provides a highly accurate measure of the corneal curvature. This "corneal map" is used by the laser system to create an individualized ablation profile for each patient.
In addition to LASIK, Dr. Kornmehl also offers PRK and EPI-LASIK for laser vision correction. To correct presbyopia, he offers CK surgery (conductive keratoplasty). Although Dr. Kornmehl is on the cutting edge of new laser and surgical technology, he is conservative in his approach to refractive surgery. A high percentage of patients do not qualify for surgery and are recommended by Dr. Kornmehl not to undergo a procedure.
Please call 1 (877) 870-2010 to schedule an appointment for consultation to determine if you are a candidate for refractive surgery.
