Specializes in LASIK Surgery

LASIK enhancement : Most patients who previously had lasik are candidates for additional laser if they end up over or under corrected. Thankfully most patients who have lasik will remain stable for a very long time. Please see your own eye doctor to see if you are a candidate.
