Laser Vision Correction at TLC Laser Eye Centers
TLC Laser Eye Centers of Providence offer conventional and Custom LASIK. Conventional LASIK is the most common type of laser vision correction and has proven to be extremely effective for the correction of conventional vision errors.
CustomLASIK utilizes wavefront-guided technology and is selected by many patients to correct their vision. The curvature of the eye is unique for each patient and is like an eye fingerprint. During CustomLASIK, a precise measure of the eye fingerprint is made and an individualized laser beam is created to correct each eye.
Drs. Ezra Galler and Santiago Villazon, and the TLC Laser Eye Center staff meticulously evaluate each patient to determine the best option for laser vision correction surgery.
To determine if you are a candidate to eliminate your dependence on glasses or contact lenses, contact TLC Laser Eye Centers - Providence at (888) 225-5852
