Los Angeles Vision Correction Procedures
Today's life-changing procedures make it possible to improve your vision to 20/20—or better.
EVO ICL™ (Implantable Collamer Lens)
EVO ICL™ (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery involves putting an artificial lens in the eye. Unlike RLE, the natural lens is not removed, and the artificial lens is placed between the natural lens and the iris.
EVO ICL™ can correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. It is sometimes referred to as an implantable contact lens.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a very common and medically necessary procedure to remove and replace the eye’s natural lens when the vision has been clouded by a cataract. We offer laser-assisted cataract surgery and lifestyle lenses as options for our patients.
Other Procedures
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Refractive lens exchange (RLE), is when a clear lens is implanted to replace your eye’s natural lens to correct your vision.
This procedure is often used for pre-cataract patients, as a preventative vision correction solution. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) can also correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Brow Lift
A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure to raise the eye brows.
Cornea Transplantation
When irreversible damage to the cornea is caused, from either infection or trauma, corneal transplant or Keratoplasty may be the ideal option
Facial Rejuvination
Facial rejuvination, also known as a face-lift, is a procedure to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck.
Fillers & Botox
Botox and dermal fillers are injectables that can relax or fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
Cataract Surgery with iStent
The iStent procedure is performed during the final stages of cataract surgery. This procedure is used to reduce intraocular pressure for patients with open-angle glaucoma.
Femtosecond Lasers (LenSx/Ziemer)
Femtosecond lasers allow for perfect precision and reproducibility when compared to manual procedures.
Clear Lens Exchange (CLE)
Clear Lens Exchange (CLE) is typically a great option for patients that are not ideal candidates for LASIK.
PTERYGIUM REPAIR
Pterygium Repair is a procedure to reduce the the area where the pterygium begins to overlap with the cornea.
Corneal Transplants
This procedure replaces part of the cornea with corneal tissue from a donor.
SmartLipo
SmartLipo is a procedure that utilizes medical-grade lasers to create beams of light that are strong enough to rupture fat cells and then melt the fat.
Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty are both procedures enhance your appears with your eyelids.
Facial Rejuvination
Facial rejuvenation also known as a “face lift” is used to lift and tighten skin on the face and neck.
