Laser Vision Correction Boulder Colorado

LASIK, epi-LASIK/PRK, CK.laser vision correction is one of the most important technologies in the field of eye medicine today. InSight Lasik, the premier LASIK clinic near Boulder, Colorado is pleased to offer our patients the most leading-edge technologies for vision correction solutions.

The most common impairment of vision is caused by errors in refraction (or focus). Refraction occurs when light enters the eye through the cornea and lens. Refractive errors result when light rays do not come to a focus on the retina, causing the conditions of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism.

Today, expert eye surgeons at the Boulder, Colorado InSight LASIK clinic can diagnose and treat refractive errors and corneal disorders using sophisticated equipment and advanced correction procedures.

Laser vision correction procedures such as LASIK (Laser in situ keratomileusis) and PRK/LASEK (Photorefractive keratectomy/epithelial LASIK) are used in Boulder by InSight Lasik to treat:

Nearsightedness (myopia)

A nearsighted patient cannot see clearly at a distance. This results from light being focused before it reaches the retina. Therefore, images are unfocused.

Astigmatism

With astigmatism, the cornea is football shaped, not round. This leads to images being unfocused.

Farsightedness (hyperopia)

A farsighted patient can see clearly at a distance, but cannot see images that are near. This condition is a result of light not being focused strongly enough to form a clear image on the retina.

Presbyopia

After about 40 years of age, the lens of the eye cannot focus strongly for closeup vision and reading glasses often become necessary. This occurs at earlier ages in patients who are farsighted. Our Boulder eye surgeons are experts in the procedure known as CK (Refractec Viewpoint Conductive Keratoplasty) to treat Presbyopia.
