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. 

Hazel Family Eyecare’s Role in Your Surgical Procedure

As your primary eyecare provider, we play a central role in preparing you for refractive surgery and caring for your eyes afterward. Our services include: 

  • Pre-operative evaluations to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
  • Review of your corneal health, prescription stability, and ocular history.
  • Referral to a trusted local surgeon when appropriate 
  • Coordination with your surgical team throughout the process.
  • Post-operative follow-up visits to monitor healing, vision stability, and comfort.
  • Long-term care and updates to your prescription if needed. 

We work closely with reputable surgical centers in the area and provide continuity of care throughout your entire experience.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Refractive Surgery?

You may be a candidate if you: 

  • Are 18 years or older with a stable prescription 
  • Have healthy eyes with no active inflammation or disease 
  • Are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism 
  • Do not have excessively dry eyes or thin corneas 
  • Are not pregnant or nursing 
  • Understand the potential risks and benefits of surgery 

If you are unsure whether surgery is right for you, we can evaluate your case and provide detailed information about your options. 

Why Post-Operative Vision Care Matters

Follow-up after refractive surgery is critical to ensure: 

  • Proper healing of the cornea 
  • Stable vision and refraction 
  • Monitoring for inflammation or complications 
  • Management of temporary symptoms such as dryness or glare 

Our doctors perform scheduled post-operative visits in coordination with your surgeon and provide long-term care to support your visual health in the years ahead.
