Laser Vision Correction Surgery

If relying on glasses or contact lenses interferes with the way you work and play, you may want to consider laser vision correction surgery. Laser vision correction surgery offers safe correction of many common vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
By correcting your visual problems in the eye itself instead of relying on glasses or contact lenses, laser vision correction surgery provides hassle-free normal or near-normal vision for many patients.

Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute Refractive Center is a national leader in laser vision correction surgery, and our refractive surgeons are among the most experienced in the country. The Cole Eye Institute is internationally respected for providing world-class eye care and for playing a prominent role in many major ophthalmic clinical trials. Our surgeons in Cleveland utilize the most advanced techniques to treat the complete range of vision problems.

Laser vision correction surgery, also known as refractive surgery, refers to a range of techniques that modify the shape of the cornea to improve vision. About 10 years ago, the only refractive procedure available in the United States was radial keratotomy, which involved using a knife to make a series of incisions in the cornea. Today, a wide range of procedures is available. LASIK and PRK are the most common laser vision correction surgeries performed.
