Refractive surgery co-management in Roswell, GA
Refractive surgery is a big decision. Our team helps you determine whether you're a good candidate, refers you to a trusted local surgeon, and stays involved through every step of your care. From pre-operative evaluations to post-operative follow-up, you'll remain connected to a team that knows your eyes and your goals.
What Is Refractive Eye Surgery?
Refractive surgery refers to procedures that reshape the cornea to reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. The most common procedures include:
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
- SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
- Refractive lens exchange (RLE)
- Implantable Collamer lenses (ICL)
These procedures are used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism in patients who meet specific medical and lifestyle criteria.
