LASIK / PRK

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) are surgical procedures that use a laser beam to reshape the cornea. Patients who are nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatic may benefit from these types of procedures.

While millions of patients have seen successful results from LASIK and PRK, these procedures are not right for everyone. Our optometrist at Blue Ridge Eye Associates will need to thoroughly examine your eyes to determine which type of vision correction best fits your needs.
