If relying on glasses or contact lenses interferes with the way you work and play, you may want to consider laser vision correction surgery. Laser vision correction surgery offers safe correction of many common vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
By correcting your visual problems in the eye itself instead of relying on glasses or contact lenses, refractive surgery provides hassle-free normal or near-normal vision for many patients.
The HealthPartners Difference
HealthPartners surgeons pioneered laser eye surgery in 1988 and continue to research the latest techniques and procedures.
Our surgeons have performed thousands of surgeries at the Phillips Eye Institute (PEI). PEI is the third largest eye specialty hospital (in patient volume) in the United States. Dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and disorders, Phillips Eye Institute draws patients from a five state region to be treated by a medical staff of highly qualified Ophthalmologists. An extensive array of specialty services - from diagnostic tests and vision rehabilitation to laser eye treatments and specialized eye surgery - are performed there every day.
Who's the ideal candidate?
If you meet the basic criteria below, you should meet with one of our laser vision surgeons and have a personal consultation:
- You are at least 21 years old
- You are in good general health
- You have had a stable vision prescription for at least one year
- You have no existing eye disease
A HealthPartners eye surgeon will meet with you before and after your surgery. The surgeon will conduct a thorough exam to determine if laser vision correct is right for you.
Laser vision correction options
Laser vision correction surgery, also known as refractive surgery, refers to a range of techniques that modify the shape of the cornea to improve vision. About 10 years ago, the only refractive procedure available in the United States was radial keratotomy. Today, a wide range of procedures are available.
