How To Take Care Of Your Eyes

How do I know if I am a candidate for LASIK?
At Eye Health Vision Centers, we start by providing a FREE evaluation to determine whether or not you are a good candidate. We then custom tailor each patients’ Laser Vision Correction needs to their unique vision needs and desires. We take into account the patients’ lifestyle, workstyle and personal visual needs before designing a Laser Vision Correction plan that is best for them.

What exactly is laser vision correction?
LASIK is the reshaping of the cornea of the eye (the front window) with laser in order to readjust the focus so that the patient can see clearly without glasses or contact lenses. It basically takes an out-of-focus eye and puts it into focus. Reshaping the cornea is analogous to the shaping of an eyeglass lens, which is the usual method for correcting vision problems. So, instead of correcting vision by the use of a custom ground spectacle or contact lens, the cornea is reshaped by the laser in order to put the world into proper focus.

How long have you been doing laser vision correction?
Dr. Kenyon has been preforming LASIK since 1986 and is one of the world’s pioneers of these procedures. Additionally we have Drs. Fowler and Gerber who are both extremely skilled surgeons.

Is your laser the only one in the area?
Yes, Eye Health Vision Centers has the only permanent or “fixed” on-site laser in SouthCoastal Mass.

Are there different types of lasers?
Yes, there are different types of lasers. Our surgeons use only the latest lasers with the newest software to help you get a more precise result. All of our lasers are approved for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Who is the ideal candidate for LASIK?
Basically, anyone who needs distance glasses (or contact lenses) and is between the ages of 20 and 65.

Is LASIK safe?
Yes. Over three million people all over the world have had LASIK and statistics show that no one has ever gone blind.
