Access to a Full Spectrum of Procedures
Our approach to vision correction is customized to your visual needs and lifestyle. During your comprehensive assessment, we examine your eyes and learn about your work, hobbies, sports, and expectations — that allows us to determine the best approach for you. We select your treatment from among the most advanced, FDA-approved vision-correction procedures available today.
Powered by UHealth
Choosing a university-based health care provider opens the door to the latest techniques and technologies. Our doctors don’t just correct vision — they train other physicians to perform the techniques and they research treatment methods and technologies. They pioneered the use of several groundbreaking technologies, including laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK), an alternative for those who can't have excimer laser treatment.
Customized Treatment Technologies
Bascom Palmer has every FDA-approved vision-correction device available, and we've performed studies for FDA-approval on nearly all of those devices. Also, we're one of the few facilities using next-generation femtosecond laser for LASIK procedures. We customize treatments to give you different options within each type of surgical correction. The best procedure for you depends on many factors, including your profession, lifestyle, visual expectations, medical and anatomic issues, and the type and amount of your refractive error.
