Dr. Teed has performed thousands of vision correction procedures and specializes in LASEK. LASEK is an advanced form of laser vision correction that offers a number of distinct advantages over older procedures like PRK and LASIK. Up to 99% of LASEK patients have 20/25 vision or better one year after surgery. The long term results of LASEK have proven superior to those of LASIK.
The long term results of LASEK have been shown to be superior to those of LASIK. LASEK offers advantages to those who require a large amount of correction or who have thin corneas and large pupils. These patients report a lower incidence of postoperative side effects, such as halos and glare, which can affect night vision. Also, LASEK patients rarely experience "dry eye" symptoms after their procedure, which can be a common side effect in LASIK patients.
Dr. Teed performs this short, painless procedure on an outpatient basis. If you want to get rid of your glasses or contacts, call our office for a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for LASEK.
