As a patient, it can be frustrating to hear “maybe” or “you might” when you’re learning about laser vision correction options. Unfortunately, that goes with the territory when dealing eyes because — everyone is different.

Other than having to start wearing reading glasses when we’ve reached a “certain age,” the most traumatic impact aging will have on our eyes is the development of cataract. As we live longer lives, it is a safe estimation that more than half of the population will have developed at least one cataract by the age of 80.

Watch Out for Hidden Fees if You’re Not an ‘Ideal Candidate’

There is approximately a 20-year window of stable vision typically that spans the age range from the mid-20s until age 40, this is when our eyes begin to change yet again and reading glasses are on the imminent horizon.

Eye correction procedures are much more technologically advanced than they were even a decade ago. The most outstanding technology to date is excimer lasers. At Magruder Laser Vision, one of the solutions we utilize for LASIK vision correction technology is the WaveLight® Allegretto Wave® EX500 Excimer Laser System.

Dry eyes are a common complaint for older patients, but they can affect anyone at one time or another. While some causes are physiological, others are environmental and can be solved with some of the simple changes listed below by the Orlando LASIK eye surgery team at Magruder Laser Vision.

While the official season of summer may be over, Florida sunshine is still blazing across Orlando and the surrounding area! With cooling temperatures, locals are enjoying the climate as much as the tourists. Though outdoor activities are healthy and enjoyable, they can cause damage to sensitive eyes.

Several of your friends have suddenly stopped wearing glasses. When you asked if they switched to contacts, they said that they recently had a LASIK procedure at Magruder Laser Vision, the Orlando LASIK professionals.

After living with poor vision for decades and relying on contact lenses and glasses to guide you through the day, you’ve finally decided to take the plunge: you’ve scheduled a customized LASIK procedure with the LASIK eye surgery professionals at Magruder Laser Vision.
