Vision Correction Alternatives
Our Moran Eye Center eye doctors are happy to answer questions you may have concerning vision correction options. If you are interested in LASIK, we suggest that you take advantage of the free educational forums held in the evenings at the Moran Eye Center each month. This will help you understand your options and helps determine if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery or, if not LASIK, you may be eligible for an alternative vision correction surgery. Our forums last approximately one hour and are presented by one of our world-class ophthalmic surgeons.
