LASIK surgery is the most popular form of laser vision correction. LASIK corrects vision by reshaping the cornea with a specialized laser. The procedure is remarkably quick and involves very little discomfort or recovery time. Performing between 250-300 LASIK procedures per month, the doctors at Eye Care Associates of St. Louis have the experience and skill you can trust for your laser vision correction. Learn more about LASIK.

IntraLase®, or "blade-free" LASIK, is some of the most advanced technology in laser vision correction today. IntraLase® uses rapid pulses of laser light to create a thin flap in the cornea during the first step of your LASIK procedure. Taking into account the unique shape of your eye, your doctor will determine the ideal dimensions of your corneal flap and program this information into a computer that will guide the IntraLase® laser. This ensures that your individual treatment plan is carried out precisely. Never has laser vision correction been more accurate and effective! Read more about IntraLase®.
