Laser Vision Correction is the broad term used to describe the Laser Eye Surgery performed by Drs. Serrage, Holt, Cassidy and Sterrer at Eyecare Medical Group to correct nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, and astigmatism. Laser Vision Correction was first performed in 1987 on sighted eyes as part of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical trials to confirm its safety and efficacy. From 1987 until Laser Vision Correction received FDA approval in 1995, the eye surgeons at Eyecare Medical Group carefully monitored the clinical trial results and research by attending and participating in scientific meetings and reviewing publications and data on this type of Laser Eye Surgery. The eye surgeons at Eyecare Medical Group began helping patients achieve their vision correction goals-free of eyeglasses and contacts- with Laser Vision Correction in 1995.
The two primary types of Laser Eye Surgery for Laser Vision Correction are PRK , known medically as Photorefractive Keratectomy, and LASIK , known medically as Laser In Situ Keratomileusis. LASIK is the most common type of Laser Vision Correction performed in the United States today and is a good choice for most patients. For some patients PRK is the preferred type of Laser Eye Surgery.
