More About Vision Correction by Drs. Snyder and Hunter
Drs. Snyder and Hunter are in private practice in Tucson where they provide patients with excellence in vision correction. Their experienced laser eye surgery team incorporates the latest diagnostic technology with the most advanced laser delivery system to elicit a refractive correction that is as unique as each patient's eye.
Tucson LASIK patients are provided a free screening to determine if they meet minimum criteria for a "good" LASIK outcome. Refractive error, pupil size, cornea mapping, and cornea thickness are determined during the exam to determine eligibility for refractive surgery. Drs. Snyder and Hunter perform LASIK with the bladeless IntraLase method. They also perform the Advanced Epi-LASIK alternative to LASIK, which many consider less invasive, as well as "state-of-the-art" presbyopia correcting cataract surgery.
