Vision Correction/LASIK

Today, many different options exist to help the majority of people who wear glasses or contact lenses reduce or eliminate their dependence on their corrective lenses. Vision correction surgery modifies the cornea and/or the lens in order to focus light on the back of the eye without the need for corrective lenses.

Chu Vision Institute is not only unique with its commitment to offering leading-edge technologies but also strives to deliver comprehensive patient education. The patient is empowered to make the best choice to improve their vision and transform their lives.

In 1998 the FDA approved advancements in LASIK using the excimer laser for treating nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, by reshaping the cornea with laser’s ultraviolet light.
