Myopia or nearsightedness is a condition that occurs when the cornea is excessively curved or the eyeball is too long. Light rays cannot reach far enough into the eye and do not focus on the retina as they should. This causes objects that are close to the eye to appear in focus clearly, while distant objects appear blurred.
The Eye Clinic of Wisconsin's refractive surgeons, Calvin Sprik, MD, and Douglas Edwards, MD, and laser team offer the highest standard of precision and excellence in LASIK with CustomVue®. CustomVue’s advanced Wavescan technology allows him to treat tiny visual errors that were previously undetectable, completely personalizing your treatment. For more information on CustomVue, please see our technology page.
Not all patients are candidates for LASIK, and that’s why the Eye Clinic of Wisconsin offers comprehensive refractive services, including the latest options for patients unable to have LASIK, including special implantable lenses. Click here for more information on these lenses.
If you're nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK can do for you what nature could not - it can give you clearer vision. Traditionally, the treatments for these eyesight conditions have been contacts or eyeglasses. These solutions are only temporary, but LASIK can enhance your vision for life.
It’s very important to be sure that you are a good candidate. While it’s important to know how many procedures your surgeon has performed, it’s perhaps more important to ask how many patients your surgeon turns away. The Eye Clinic of Wisconsin is conservative and will not recommend LASIK for those it does not feel are good candidates—this is why we perform such thorough pre-operative examinations. The majority of people who want LASIK are candidates, but you should be prepared for the possibility that you may be one of the patients we turn away.
