What Is Laser Vision Correction?
Laser vision correction is a precise, computer-guided procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Our advanced technology eliminates the need for a surgical blade, instead utilizing sophisticated laser systems for enhanced accuracy and safety.
Advanced Technology for Optimal Results

While both procedures offer excellent results, they differ in how the cornea is prepared before laser reshaping.

LASIK
Creates a thin flap in the cornea, reshapes the underlying tissue, then replaces the flap.PRK
Removes the surface (epithelial) layer of the cornea, reshapes the tissue underneath, and allows the surface layer to regrow. -
Both types take around 15–20 minutes total for both eyes.
-
Both types are generally painless, with a mild pressure sensation.
-
LASIK
Clear vision often within 24 hoursPRK

Infocus Eye Care Ensures a Comprehensive Evaluation Process
Your laser vision correction journey begins with a thorough consultation and evaluation. Our experienced surgeons, Dr. Ida Alul and Dr. Meryl Sundy, will carefully assess your eye health, discuss your vision goals, and determine whether LASIK or PRK is the right choice for you. Our surgical planning team will then guide you through scheduling and financing options.

Ideal candidates typically:
• Are 21years or older
