ABOUT VISION

When we hear phrases like “laser vision correction, laser eye surgery, refractive surgery,” it’s often LASIK that we think of first.  It is the largest vision correction and elective surgeries in the United States, with nearly a million procedures carried out each year.

Although Omega Vision is renowned for our state-of-the-art LASIK technology and the over 30,000 successful LASIK procedures we have performed, we are also highly regarded for our ability to correct vision with other treatments when LASIK is not the most suitable option.  For this reason, it’s important to consider LASIK alternatives that may offer treatment options you haven’t yet explored. For advice on which procedure is best suited for your situation, speak with your eye doctor.
