The Ideal Candidate
In general, the ideal candidate for LASIK is over 21 years of age and has healthy corneas. Candidates must not have had a significant increase in their prescription in the last 12 months. People with certain medical conditions or women who are pregnant may not be good candidates.

Realistic Expectations
The decision to have LASIK is an important one that ultimately, only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes or misconceptions. The goal of LASIK is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. LASIK does not always create 20/20 or even 20/40 vision. It cannot correct a condition known as presbyopia, or aging of the eye. This normally occurs around age 40 and may require the use of reading glasses. In fact, people over 40 who have their distance vision improved with LASIK, may find they need reading glasses after the procedure. Our doctors will provide you with additional information that will allow you to make an informed decision.

In The Blink Of An Eye
It takes only seconds to treat a lifetime of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Find out if you are a candidate for this life-changing procedure by contacting us to schedule a personal consultation. Should your vision fall within a range of correction for LASIK, more comprehensive tests may be necessary.

Is Verisyse Right For You?
If you are very nearsighted and tired of contact lenses and thick glasses, and at least 21 years of age, you may be a candidate for the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL. The doctors at the Advanced Sight Center perform a series of tests and will discuss options with you to help decide whether you meet the following criteria for having a Verisyse™ procedure:

• Your eyes are healthy with no eye disease, iris, pupil, or corneal abnormality, or history of retinal detachment.
• Your nearsightedness can be corrected with lenses between -5.0 to -20.0 diopters.
• You have 2.5 diopters or less of astigmatism.
• Your eyes are stable and your nearsightedness has not changed more than 0.50 diopters for 6 months prior to surgery.
• You are not currently pregnant or nursing.
• There is not another vision correction procedure that provides a better alternative for your visual condition.

A Proven History and HIGH Satisfaction.
With successful use in more than 150,000 procedures worldwide, the Verisyse™ design is proven to provide very precise and predictable correction of moderate to severe nearsightedness. During the US FDA clinical trials, an overwhelming majority of patients (more than 90%) were satisfied with the procedure and would recommend it to a friend.

A Simple procedure, Verisyse is quite simple.
