Wouldn’t it be great if you could wake up in the morning and check the time or turn off the alarm without fumbling for your glasses first? This worry can be eliminated with either implantable contact lenses or an Orlando LASIK procedure offered by Doc Brock and his staff at Magruder Laser Vision. While LASIK is readily recognized by many patients, a significant number of people have very little information concerning permanently implanted contacts. Below is information to help you determine which procedure may best suit your needs.
Implantable Contact Lenses
Magruder Laser Vision offers two different implantable contact lens types. The Verisyse Phakic Intraocular Lens attaches to the iris and is designed for use by adults aged 21 or older. Candidates must have stable vision, meaning very little visual change within a six-month period.
LASIK
Less expensive than implantable contacts, LASIK has a long history of success since its first procedure in 1991. With more precise machinery to perform LASIK, a vast majority of patients experience improved vision almost immediately. Astigmatism, or unusual curvature of the eye, is usually correctable with LASIK, unlike with implantable contact lenses.
Ask your ophthalmologist at Magruder Laser Vision which procedure would best fit your needs and your eyesight.
