Lasik Eye Surgery
LASIK eye surgery is a procedure that is performed with the intention to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and contact lenses. During surgery, the shape of the cornea is changed to attain clearer vision. In general, patients are able to achieve 20/40 vision or better after undergoing laser eye surgery.
Why choose Dr. Leoni for your vision correction surgery?
- Performed over 400 laser surgeries
- Has had LASIK surgery himself
- Takes a personal approach to providing eye care
- Uses the latest technology available
- Seeks to inform patients prior to treatment
LASIK surgery offers many benefits to patients including improved vision quality and a reduced or eliminated need for glasses or contacts. Additionally since the dependence on contacts is reduced patients are able eliminate the discomfort from prolonged use of contact lenses. LASIK patients are able to broaden their social, recreational and career opportunities since outdoor recreational activities and dimly lit social settings are more enjoyable without corrective eyewear.
Dr. Leoni uses the VISX Star S4 IR excimer laser when performing LASIK surgery.
