Kraff Eye Institute provides LASIK surgery for patients from Evanston at our downtown Chicago location, where advanced diagnostic technology allows us to customize every treatment precisely to the patient’s eyes. Whether you have myopia, hyperopia or an astigmatism, we provide LASIK surgery that is customized precisely to your eyes. LASIK eye surgery is a life-changing procedure and can help you achieve clear vision in a short amount of time. Utilizing the most advanced iDesign 2.0 technology available, we can provide a treatment plan that provides phenomenal results. By creating a thin flap on the front surface of the cornea, lifting the flap, and shaping the underlying corneal tissue using a laser, we can provide life changing improvements in your vision.
The goal of PRK is to provide precise, quality vision by correcting the refractive errors of the eyes. PRK is suitable for individuals that are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism. With PRK, instead of creating a flap on the surface of the cornea, Dr. Kraff will use an instrument to gently brush off the surface cells of the cornea. Once the cells are removed, Dr. Kraff will then use the laser to reshape the cornea to improve your vision.
Bandage contact lenses will be placed on the eyes to aid in healing and provide comfort while the surface cells regenerate. Once you've healed from PRK healed, patients can resume their normal day-to-day activities. Rest assured that Dr. Kraff always discusses the procedure and aftercare with his patients and is always happy to answer questions about post-op eye care. When searching for an Evanston eye clinic, remember that the Kraff Eye Institute has been performing PRK eye treatments in Evanston since day 1!
