Treatment Plan That is Tailored to You

At Bruce & Robyn Porter Optometrists, we understand that choosing to have refractive surgery is a big decision. When optometrists talk about refractive surgery, they are referring to any surgical procedure that is performed in order to improve the way that light is entering the eye and being focused on the retina. This can be done for a variety of reasons, but the most common reason is to treat patients who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. The goal of refractive surgery is to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. There are a number of different types of refractive surgery, and the best option for each patient will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of their vision problem and their overall health. In general, refractive surgery is considered to be safe and effective, and most patients are able to achieve their desired level of vision correction with just one procedure. If you are interested in learning more about refractive surgery, please schedule an appointment with your optometrist.
