LASIK Alternative in Las Vegas, Nevada

LASIK Eye Surgery Alternatives Offered in Las Vegas

Only some people are candidates for LASIK surgery. Fortunately, Abrams Eye Institute offers LASIK alternatives to correct poor vision.

Many people have undergone LASIK surgery with astounding results. They now enjoy excellent vision freedom from using temporary corrective lenses in the form of eyeglasses or contacts and can explore their world in many new and exciting ways. Also, technologies for vision improvement are frequently developed to refine techniques and tools that precede them. You may be interested in improving your vision and want to know more about your options.

If you’ve investigated LASIK surgery to correct poor vision, but your eye doctor has informed you that you’re not a candidate for the technique, you should know that there are several alternative therapies available to you. Once you know all the options, you can consult an ophthalmologist and choose the one that suits your eyes and you the best.

Reasons why LASIK isn’t for you include:

A history of dry eyes
Cornea scarring
Thin corneas
Too many refractive errors
Large pupils

If you aren’t a candidate for LASIK, we offer you the following alternative therapies to consider:

PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, is similar to LASIK because the same excimer laser is employed. However, the laser gently reshapes the cornea through surface application rather than creating a corneal flap. When LASIK surgery was invented, this therapy fell into disuse, in part because of the shorter healing time required for LASIK. PRK is a precursor technique to LASIK, and while healing may require several additional days, the therapeutic effects are identical. Hence, it is still highly effective and may provide the ideal option for patients who cannot undergo LASIK surgery.

Clear lens exchange (CLE) is also referred to as refractive lens exchange (RLE) because it is a refractive surgery where the lense is replaced. This technique is generally ideal for patients who suffer from presbyopia or extreme far/services/lasik-alternatives/clear-lens-exchange/sightedness (hyperopia) and are not ideal candidates for LASIK or PRK. CLE is the only viable option for many patients to reduce post-op reliance on glasses and remedy their conditions substantively.
