Refractive Surgery

Using sophisticate surgical techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, surgeons at the Cornea Institute reshape the corneal surface and remove the refractive error in the eye. Most refractive eye surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, with most procedures lasting less than one hour in duration. The eye is usually numbed with eye drops prior to surgery. Recovery times vary depending on the surgery, but can last anywhere from a couple of days to a few months.
