LASIK Alternatives at our Simi Valley Location
For those seeking alternatives to LASIK, NVISION offers several effective procedures.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an excellent option for individuals with thinner corneas, as it reshapes the cornea without creating a flap.
- A non-permanent alternative is EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), which involves implanting a lens inside the eye, providing a reversible and long-term solution without altering the cornea.
- SMILE surgery is a modern version of LASIK that works for myopia and astigmatism, and is recommended for patients with dry eyes.
- Another alternative to LASIK is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), a procedure similar to cataract surgery that corrects refractive errors by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial one.
If you are contemplating corrective surgery, you should discuss your lifestyle needs and eye health with a surgeon to find the right procedure. Schedule an appointment at our clinic to discuss your eye care needs.
Other surgical procedures include lifestyle lenses, RLE, pterygium surgery, blepharoplasty, pediatric strabismus surgery, glaucoma surgery, brow lift, entropion/ectropion correction, and light adjustable lenses.

PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
What is PRK Surgery?
PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery that is used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. PRK is an alternative to LASIK eye surgery and is particularly suitable for individuals who may not be candidates for LASIK due to certain corneal characteristics.
Overview of the PRK surgery process:
- Corneal Epithelium Removal:
- In PRK, the surgeon begins by removing the thin outer layer of the cornea called the epithelium. This can be done using an alcohol solution, a special brush, or a laser.
- Laser Reshaping of the Cornea:
- Once the epithelium is removed, a laser is used to precisely reshape the cornea. The laser ablates or removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on the patient’s refractive error. The goal is to correct the curvature of the cornea and improve the focus of light on the retina.
- Healing Process:
- Unlike LASIK, where a corneal flap is created, PRK does not involve creating a flap. Instead, the corneal surface is allowed to regenerate naturally. The healing process involves the growth of new epithelial cells over the treated area.
- Post-operative Care:
- Following PRK surgery, patients are given medicated eye drops to aid in the healing process and prevent infection. Recovery may take a bit longer compared to LASIK, and patients may experience temporary discomfort during the initial days.
Key considerations for PRK surgery include:
- Corneal Thickness: PRK may be a suitable option for individuals with thinner corneas who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.
- Occupational Considerations: PRK may be recommended for individuals with occupations or lifestyles that carry a risk of corneal injury, as it eliminates the creation of a corneal flap.
- Healing Time: The initial visual recovery may take longer with PRK compared to LASIK. Patients typically experience optimal vision several weeks after the procedure.
PRK is a well-established and effective procedure for vision correction, and its suitability depends on individual factors. It’s important to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or eye care professional to determine the most appropriate laser eye surgery option based on your eye health and lifestyle.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Refractive lens exchange (RLE), is when a clear lens is implanted to replace your eye’s natural lens to correct your vision.
This procedure is often used for pre-cataract patients, as a preventative vision correction solution. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) can also correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery is performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Laser Blepharoplasty
Laser blepharoplasty eye surgery, also known as laser eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate eyelid tissues (skin, muscle, or fat). Blepharoplasty is performed for both cosmetic and vision correction purposes. NVISION has an eye clinic to help address your needs – Book a consultation today.
Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma eye surgery involves using a microscopic stent to drain fluid that could harm the optic nerve.
This procedure is minimally invasive.
Light Adjustable Lenses
Light Adjustable Lens: Adjustable Intraocular Lens (IOL) – Light adjustable lenses, or adjustable intraocular lenses, are a modern intraocular lens type that can provide more precise vision adjustments for cataract patients.
