It’s normal to experience some mild discomfort in the first few hours after the procedure. Resting as much as possible post-procedure is recommended. Typically, patients are getting back to their normal activities 24 hours following the procedure.

Unfortunately, many insurance providers will not cover the cost of LASIK. However, we offer affordable payment options for our patients and some vision plans offer significant discounts. You can also use your tax-free HSA or FSA dollars to cover LASIK. Find more info here.

Before the surgery, we’ll evaluate your eyes to ensure this is the right solution for you. After confirming your candidacy, we’ll schedule your LASIK surgery.

A refractive lens exchange can be a great fit for individuals with severe or age-related farsightedness, as it greatly enhances visual focus. This is a great option for eye conditions that aren’t well-suited to be treated by other types of eye care treatments such as LASIK, PRK, or phakic IOL refractive surgeries. Our staff of ophthalmologists and eye doctors provide safe and effective eye care solutions to clients in locations such as Flint, Fenton, Lake Orion, Lapeer, Grand Blanc, and Rochester.

Refractive Lens Exchange is suitable for people who: Are 45 years and older Have to wear strong prescription lenses for distance vision* May not have enough corneal thickness for LASIK alone* Have early lens changes and desire refractive lens replacement surgery*

Keratoconus occurs when your cornea becomes thin, weak, and irregularly shaped. There is no definitive cause for keratoconus, but a common finding is the loss of collagen. When your cornea takes on an irregular shape, you may notice visitation distortions, leading to difficulty performing normal activities.

To maintain its strength and shape, normal corneas have cross-links between their collagen fibers. In an eye with keratoconus, the cornea weakens and has too few cross-links left. As a result of a weakened structure, your cornea bulges out. The purpose of corneal cross-linking is to add cross-links so your cornea’s shape stays strong, stable, and capable of holding its shape. The cross-linking process results in better focusing power and helps to stop the thinning process and further vision loss. The procedure, if done on both eyes at once, takes about an hour and a half. However, some patients elect to have one eye done at a time, which takes about an hour.

The shape of your eye isn’t the only thing that affects your level of vision. Whether it’s due to genetics or the aging process, your facial features can play a role in your visual acuity. That’s why the certified professionals at Michigan Eye Institute are ready to offer you oculoplasty: reconstructive eye surgery that aims to improve the health of your vision and facial tissues, particularly around your eyes.

If cataracts are causing your vision to decrease, it may be time to consider cataract surgery. Laser-assisted cataract surgery utilizes laser technology to improve precision and accuracy and minimize risks during the procedure.

Most patients who are candidates for traditional cataract surgery are candidates for dropless cataract surgery. Patients who have certain medical conditions may need to use eye drops once a day, even with the dropless method. To determine if dropless eye surgery is right for you, schedule a consultation with one of our experienced eye surgeons.
