Discover the life-changing benefits of our advanced eye health surgery. From improved vision to enhanced quality of life, our cutting-edge procedures pave the way for a brighter future.

Wearing contacts or glasses can be cumbersome for some people and interfere with their active lifestyles. Many people choose to take control of their vision in a more permanent way.

Eye specialists have made incredible strides in recent years in vision correction surgery, also known as refractive and laser eye surgery. There are many types of vision correction procedures. Most involve reshaping the cornea so that light passing through it is focused on the retina. Other procedures replace the lens of the eye.

Here are the different types of corrective surgeries, what they improve, and how they work. We'll do our best to make your trip as comfortable as possible at a fair price with quality services if you let us know your goals and the services you'd like to have while you're here.Contact us now!

TYPES of EYE SURGERIES

Price Overview for Most Common Procedures

LASIK Eye Surgery

The LASIK eye surgery acronym stands for Laser-Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis. This is a common laser eye surgery that is suitable for treating many conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. This is one of the most popular types of eye laser surgery and it uses a femtosecond laser to precisely alter the shape of the corneal tissue in the natural lens to improve patient eyesight. Many patients choose to get LASIK to replace contact lenses or glasses.

Factors Influencing The Costs of LASIK Surgery

The cost of laser eye surgery such as LASIK is not universal. Each provider has a different cost and there are many factors that contribute to LASIK eye surgery cost including the amount of correction that is required, the technology used during surgery, and the overall experience level of the surgeon.

Required vision correction: LASIK is usually more expensive for those who have particularly poor vision or a higher prescription. Your prescription will likely factor into how much you can expect to pay for the surgery.
Laser technology: Another factor that plays into the cost of LASIK is the technology used. New technology is often more expensive than older technology, and surgeons might incur additional charges via manufacturers that ultimately get passed on to the patient. Keep in mind that the type of laser eye surgery your surgeon recommends will give you the best possible outcome, although cost could be impacted. Make sure to ask for a price breakdown ahead of time so you know what to expect. At Gigi Lilly, transparent pricing is always included during your free LASIK consultation.
Surgeon experience: The experience of the surgeon will impact price as well. Experienced surgeons may charge more as the

SMILE Eye Surgery

(Lense Replecement Surgery)

SMILE is a good choice for those aged 18 to 60 with stable glasses or contact lens prescription. Patients with nearsightedness and astigmatism are the best candidates.

SMILE eye surgery is a cutting edge procedure and the latest advancement in laser vision correction. An investment in vision correction will save you thousands of dollars in the long term that would have otherwise been spent on glasses or contact lenses. SMILE eye surgery costs vary everywhere you go. At Gigi Lilly, we base the cost of SMILE eye surgery on the amount of correction you need.

RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange)

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is also referred to as clear lens extraction (CLE) and it is a procedure that corrects cataracts by altering the corneal tissue. During this refractive surgery, the doctor will carefully make a small incision to remove the natural lens on the edge of the cornea and replace it with a silicone or plastic lens. This refractive lens replacement surgery can be used to correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness. In addition, this laser eye procedure is used to help correct dry eyes, thin corneas, and other minor eye problems. You may opt to combine this procedure with LASIK or a LASIK-related procedure so you only have to endure one recovery process. In some cases, additional procedures are required to help correct astigmatism, but this is something that your laser eye surgeon will discuss with you when the time comes.

Who Is CLE Suitable for?

There are different types of laser treatment for eyes so it’s important to choose the corrective eye surgery that’s best for you. When it comes to CLE, it is ideal for patients who have short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and/or astigmatism. The most ideal candidates for the type of procedure are around age 45 (at a minimum) and wear bifocals or multifocal lenses. This procedure is also suitable for those with high prescriptions or those who aren’t good patients for laser eye surgery.

Laser Blended Vision

Starting about age 40 the human crystalline lens loses its ability to focus up close. This is progressive from age 40 to age 65. It happens to all patients. When patients have laser vision correction the surgeon can alter the power of one eye to be best at distance and the other at near. This is called monovision or laser blended vision. About 70% of patients over age 40 who wear contacts use monovision to be less dependent on glasses for the close-up tasks such as reading. About 70% of patients undergoing laser vision correction over age 40 are candidates for laser blended vision. If they do not tolerate it the eye can be corrected for distance like the alternate eye and the patient can then use reading glasses.

Who Is LBV Suitable for?

Laser Blended Vision is another eye laser treatment type that is best suited for patients over age 40 that want to minimize or eliminate the need for reading glasses.

LASEK Eye Surgery

(Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy) LASEK is another laser eye surgery procedure and it is an alternative to the LASIK and SMILE procedures. The best candidates for LASEK or surface procedures are those patients with thin corneas, asymmetric topographies, or those involved in combat sports.

IOL (Intraocular Lens Surgery)

If you suffer from extreme nearsightedness, another laser procedure that you may consider is IOL or intraocular lens surgery. During the IOL implantation, your surgeon will place microscopic lenses behind the iris but in front of the eye’s natural lens. This implanted lens allows light rays to properly focus onto the retina to create a clear vision distance and can reduce the need for wearing thick glasses or contact lenses.

Who Is Suitable for Phakic IOL Procedure?

The ideal patient for an IOL procedure is someone who has a high level of myopia yet isn’t yet presbyopic. They don’t have any eye disease and they don’t suffer from any iris, pupil, or corneal abnormalities. Phakic intraocular lens implants can help those with high levels of myopia as the risk of retinal detachment is lower.

PRP (Pan Retinal Photocoagulation)

Pan-retinal photocoagulation is used for diseased eyes. For patients who have diabetes or have had retinal vein occlusions, their doctor may recommend retinal photocoagulation to preserve vision. Abnormal blood vessels can grow in these patients and by doing photocoagulation the abnormal vessels can regress and the best vision can be maintained. Pan-retinal photocoagulation should not be confused with laser vision correction procedures. The prior is for diseased eyes that could be blinded if the diseases are not treated.

SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty)

SLT or Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is a form of laser surgery to reduce eye pressure in patients with an eye disease called glaucoma. In glaucoma, the pressure within the eye can be so high that it damages the nerve of vision called the optic nerve. SLT can be used in combination with medications to lower eye pressure. With SLT the laser light is applied to the fluid drainage tissue. Over time the laser treatment allows for increased outflow of fluid with the goal of lowering the overall eye pressure.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

This presbyopia surgery is also referred to as Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA).

Who Is PRK Suitable for?

You might be wondering what type of laser eye surgery is best for you. Patients aged 18 to 60 with stable glasses or contact lens prescription or those needing astigmatism treatment are the best candidates for PRK.
