Although most patients who desire to eliminate or reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses can opt for laser vision correction, usually by LASIK, some patients are not able to have laser surgery for a number of reasons, and until recently had no surgical options. While LASER BASED VISION CORRECTION (REFRACTIVE) SURGERY will remain the most commonly used method over the next several years, LENS BASED REFRACTIVE SURGERY is now a viable option for those patients who cannot benefit from laser surgery.
Laser surgery alters the shape of the cornea, the very front surface of the eye, whereas in one method of LENS BASED REFRACTIVE surgery an artificial new lens is added to the inside of the eye, leaving both the cornea and the natural lens of the eye unchanged. In another form of LENS BASED SURGERY, the natural lens of the eye is removed and exchanged for a man-made artificial lens which may also free the patient from the need for corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. Generally, the type and amount of optical (eyeglass or contact lens prescription) error, the age of the patient, and the individual characteristics of the patients eyes are used to determine which type of procedure offers the best opportunity for the patient.

Dr. Daubert’s qualifications as a LASIK surgeon to be the best around. Dr. Daubert and his staff made me feel extremely comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend using Dr. Daubert to my friends.

The actual procedure itself took maybe fifteen minutes, I felt no pain, no problem, it was excellent. I came out of the procedure, did a quick vision test and realized that I had improved vision immediately.

I'm ecstatic over the difference. Whenever I drive at night or whenever I'm doing anything during the day I notice how clear everything is. I can see leaves on the trees. Thanks Dr. Daubert
