More About the Laser Eye Center
At the Laser Eye Center Encino LASIK office, each patient is meticulously examined by the doctors and staff to determine the best option for vision correction. For Custom LASIK surgery, a wavefront-guided technology is used. This advanced technology provides for each patient to be individually tested and then treated with a customized laser ablation profile. In addition to LASIK, the Laser Eye Center also offers Phakic IOL, PRK, and other laser vision correction procedures.
The Laser Eye Center surgeons are also highly skilled IOL (intraocular lens) implant surgeons who perform no-stitch, no-injection, small incision surgery. These surgeons offer the newest technology lenses for vision correction, including the Verisyse lens (for those highly myopic patients who do not qualify for LASIK) and the new IOLs that can simultaneously correct for near and distance vision.
The first step in eliminating your dependence on glasses or contact lenses is to contact the Laser Eye Center at 800-805-2737 to schedule a free consultation.
