Vision Correction
Our Services
Vision Correction Surgery
Vision correction surgery is designed to improve how the eyes focus light, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. These procedures are ideal for individuals with refractive errors who want clearer, more consistent vision and greater freedom in daily life.
At SightMD, vision correction is never a one-size-fits-all approach — our board-certified eye surgeons use advanced diagnostics and multiple treatment options to match each patient with the procedure best suited to their eyes, lifestyle, and long-term vision goals. Our comprehensive approach ensures both safety and precision at every step.
Understanding Refractive Errors
A refractive error occurs when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Light enters the eye through the cornea and lens (front of the eye) and must be precisely filtered to the retina (back of the eye) to produce clear vision. When this focusing process is disrupted due to the eye’s shape or structure, light cannot bend at the correct angle toward the retina — resulting in a refractive error and reduced visual clarity.
Refractive errors are not eye diseases, but common focusing issues that are diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam and precise measurements of how the eye bends (refracts) light.
Common types of refractive errors include:
- Nearsightedness (Myopia) — Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia) — Difficulty seeing nearby objects clearly
- Astigmatism — Blurred vision at any distance caused by an irregularly shaped cornea
- Presbyopia — Age-related near vision loss and difficulty seeing up-close
Vision Correction Procedures at SightMD
SightMD offers a full spectrum of laser- and lens-based vision correction procedures, allowing our surgeons to tailor treatment to each patient’s unique needs and vision goals.
LASIK Eye Surgery
As SightMD’s flagship vision correction procedure, LASIK is a safe, reliable, and trusted approach for helping patients achieve clearer vision and freedom from prescription glasses and contacts. Using advanced laser technology, LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct common refractive errors and deliver precise, long-lasting results.
With millions of procedures performed worldwide, LASIK is one of the most widely adopted vision correction surgeries available today.
PRK Surgery
Ideal for patients with thinner corneas, PRK is a surface-based laser vision correction procedure that offers results comparable to LASIK.
EVO Visian ICL
An implantable lens option that corrects vision without removing corneal tissue, often recommended for patients with higher prescriptions.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
A lens-based vision correction procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens to address presbyopia and reduce dependence on glasses.
Phakic IOL Surgery
A permanent implantable lens placed without removing the natural lens, offering sharp vision for patients who may not qualify for LASIK.
LASEK Surgery
LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) combines aspects of LASIK and PRK, correcting vision by reshaping the cornea without creating a deep flap.
iLASIK™ Surgery
A bladeless, fully customized form of LASIK that uses advanced mapping technology to tailor treatment to each individual eye.
