Cataract Surgery in Huntington Beach, CA
Laser-assisted cataract surgery is a modern procedure that uses a laser to make precise cuts and soften the cloudy lens before removing it. This method is more accurate and safer than traditional techniques. After the cloudy lens is removed, our surgeons insert an intraocular lens (IOL) implant to restore clear vision.
Our premium IOLs come in various types, each designed to meet specific vision needs, allowing patients to see clearly at different distances and reducing the dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
LASIK Eye Surgery and Corrective Laser Procedures
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular vision correction surgery that reshapes the cornea using a laser to correct refractive errors. Our surgeons have extensive experience with LASIK, as well as other vision correction procedures for patients who are not good candidates for LASIK due to thin or irregular corneal shapes.
Here is an overview of corrective vision procedures we offer:
- LASIK: Quick recovery and immediate vision improvement, suitable for many with common refractive errors.
- Custom LASIK: Offers precise correction and reduced visual disturbances, ideal for those with unique corneal irregularities.
- Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK): Suitable for those with thinner corneas or who can’t undergo LASIK; longer recovery but similar outcomes.
- SMILE Surgery: Minimally invasive with a smaller incision and faster healing, good for nearsightedness and astigmatism. Ideal for patients with dry eyes.
- EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): Ideal for patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas. EVO ICL involves implanting a lens inside the eye, providing a reversible and long-term solution without altering the cornea.

LASIK Eye Surgery

Other Procedures
Contoura® Vision LASIK
Contoura® Vision LASIK?
Contoura® Vision LASIK is an advanced form of LASIK eye surgery that utilizes topography-guided technology to tailor the laser treatment to the unique characteristics of an individual’s cornea. This technology aims to provide a more personalized and precise correction of refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Contoura® Vision creates a highly precise and accurate map of a patient’s eyes measuring up to 22,000 unique elevation points on each eye.
Key features of Contoura® Vision LASIK include:
1. Topography-Guided Treatment:
– Contoura® Vision LASIK utilizes detailed corneal mapping or corneal topography to create a highly customized treatment plan. This map captures thousands of data points on the cornea, allowing for a more precise analysis of its shape and irregularities.
2. Personalized Correction:
– The topography-guided technology enables the laser to precisely reshape the cornea based on the unique imperfections detected in the corneal map. This personalized approach aims to address higher-order aberrations, improving not only traditional refractive errors but also the overall quality of vision.
3. Reduced Glare and Halos:
– Contoura® Vision LASIK is designed to reduce the occurrence of visual disturbances such as glare and halos, which can be associated with certain refractive errors. The customized treatment may result in improved night vision and reduced sensitivity to light.
4. Potential for Better Visual Outcomes:
– The goal of Contoura® Vision LASIK is to achieve superior visual outcomes by optimizing the correction based on the individual characteristics of the patient’s cornea.
It’s important to note that the availability of Contoura® Vision LASIK may vary, and not all LASIK centers offer this specific technology. If you are considering LASIK surgery and are interested in Contoura® Vision LASIK, it’s recommended to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or LASIK eye doctor who can assess your candidacy and discuss the available options for personalized laser vision correction.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
Glaucoma is a disease that occurs when pressure from fluid buildup damages the optic nerve. In this advanced glaucoma eye surgery, often called MIGS, fluid drainage is improved with a microscopic stent.
Lifestyle Lenses
Lifestyle lenses are a premium lens option that offers a more functional range of vision, and are designed to reduce the need for distance and reading glasses.
We offer the latest and most advanced lifestyle lens on the market.
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.
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.
Chalazion Surgery
Chalazion surgery involves removing a small lump (a chalazion) that develops on the eyelid.
Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implants
An intraocular lens implant is a synthetic, artificial lens placed inside the eye that replaces the eye’s natural lens.
Ptosis
Ptosis is a medical condition when the upper eyelid droops down and over the eye.
Entropion/Ectropion
These are medical conditions that affect your eyelid.
Lid Biopsy
A lid biopsy is a medical procedure used to diagnose and manage eyelid tumors.
Limbal Relaxing Incisions
Limbal Relaxing Incisions are used for the treatment of corneal astigmatism.
