LASIK is a fast, safe, and effective laser procedure to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Using a specialized laser, your cornea is reshaped in about 15 seconds per eye, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina for clear vision.

LASIK is ideal for adults with stable vision who want to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Most patients experience improved vision immediately and can return to work the next day.

A pterygium is a raised, wedge-shaped growth of the conjunctiva that can extend onto the cornea. It may appear on either side of the eye and can remain small or grow over time.

Pterygia can cause redness, irritation, or a feeling of something in the eye, and in some cases, they can affect vision by changing the shape of the cornea. Treatment is available for those experiencing discomfort or vision changes.

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens that blocks light from reaching the retina, causing blurry or dull vision. Cataracts develop when proteins in the lens break down and clump together, usually growing slowly and sometimes affecting one or both eyes. They can occur in different forms: age-related cataracts, which are the most common and linked to aging; congenital cataracts, present at birth or developing in childhood; secondary cataracts, caused by other conditions like diabetes or steroid use; and traumatic cataracts, which can result from an eye injury, sometimes years later. Treatment is available to restore clear vision when cataracts begin to impact daily life.es

Dry eye occurs when your tears cannot properly lubricate the eyes, due to reduced tear production or increased evaporation. Living in arid environments like Bakersfield can make dry eye worse, causing irritation, discomfort, and blurry vision. If left untreated, it may lead to corneal ulcers, scarring, and other vision problems. Various treatments are available to relieve symptoms and protect the eyes.
