LASIK is the most technologically advanced form of surgical vision correction available.

It has reduced or eliminated the need for glasses and contact lenses for millions of people worldwide. Using an extremely sharp blade, a cut is made on the cornea (the front surface of the eye) creating a very thin flap about the thickness of two human hairs. This flap is gently folded back out of the way and the excimer laser is used to reshape the exposed inner layer of the cornea. The flap is then replaced and the healing process begins. This procedure changes the shape of the eye, thus changing the focus of the eye.

LASIK is an irreversible procedure designed to improve your most precious sense, your sight. It is critical to coordinate your care with a competent, experienced surgeon. At Vision Specialties, we want to make your LASIK procedure a successful, pleasant experience that improves your lifestyle forever.

After training with several of the foremost experts in laser vision correction, Dr. Ward has been working with satisfied laser vision patients since 1994.

We’re happy to schedule a no-charge, no-obligation LASIK consultation. Dr. Ward will explain your surgical options, discuss the pre- and post-operative care, and help you understand what to expect from your LASIK procedure. We’ll even talk about some of the new procedures on the horizon. We have found that certain patients are probably better off waiting for some of the procedures currently being developed, while others are better candidates for the current LASIK procedure.

LASIK has been actively marketed, and many surgery centers are now operated by large corporations. Our experiences have generally been better with smaller, privately owned centers that focus on providing the highest quality care and not just on corporate profitability. We feel strongly that, to obtain the best possible care, you should work with the best surgeon you can find. Discount LASIK is frequently no bargain! Finding the most skilled surgeon and the most highly trained staff is a very important part of your LASIK success.

Because obtaining the best surgical care possible is our primary goal, we have affiliated with the Vision Care Center Of Idaho. Dr. Martinez and his surgery staff at the VCCI have earned our confidence and that of many of our patients. We recommend them highly.

We also recommend Refractive Source as a resource for anyone seeking information about the LASIK procedure.
