The LASIK surgeons of Kremer Laser Eye Center are all board-certified ophthalmologists who are highly experienced in refractive surgery. Many patients from Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and throughout the United States have sought the skilled hands of these surgeons to correct their nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
Kremer Laser Eye Center has a long, innovative history in refractive surgery and laser vision correction. The Kremer surgeons were the first to perform radial keratotomy in the Delaware Valley in 1980 and the first to perform LASIK eye surgery in North America. These surgeons stay on the cutting edge of technological developments by participating in FDA clinical trials and other investigational protocols. This long history of excellent surgical care, combined with the most advanced technology, continues as each surgeon focuses to provide the best visual outcome for every patient.
More About LASIK at Kremer Laser Eye Center
The Kremer surgeons perform corrective surgery in state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled surgery centers. Each patient is meticulously examined to determine the best option for refractive surgery. LASIK surgery is performed with the most advanced custom WAVEfront excimer technology. This technology provides a precise measure of the corneal curvature and a customized laser ablation profile for each eye. To create the "corneal flap," the bladeless "All LASER LASIK" procedure can be used, called IntraLase. The combination of this advanced technology with the extensive surgeon experience provides for excellent visual results after surgery.

In addition to the LASIK procedure, Kremer also offers PRK, LASEK, and INTACS for vision correction. For patients with a loss of the ability to see up close after the age of forty, both CK surgery (Conductive Keratoplasty) and Clear Lens Extraction are available. The Kremer surgeons offer the most advanced technology for IOL surgery (intraocular lenses), including Crystalens, ReSTOR, ReZoom (used to provide simultaneous correction of near and distance vision), and Verisyse (used for highly myopic patients who do not qualify for LASIK surgery). Kremer specialists also offer the most advanced treatments for glaucoma and cataracts, and facial cosmetic procedures such as Botox.
