In the United States, there are several lasers that have received FDA approval for the LASIK procedure. They each have been tested and approved for certain range of corrections. Each carries certain strengths and weaknesses. Some are best suited for thicker corneas; others are better choices for custom treatments, etc. Our patients in the Columbus, Ohio and Wheeling, West Virginia areas can undergo laser eye surgery with one of our cutting edge laser systems: VISX CustomVue™ or Nidek. During your free LASIK surgery consultation we discuss and decide which laser is ideally suited for you .
