Brinton Vision – Lasik St. Louis – Changing lives through the gift of visual freedom

LASIK

LASIK, or laser in situ keratomileusis, is a life-changing laser vision correction procedure that can treat farsightedness (hyperopia), nearsightedness (myopia), over-40 vision (presbyopia) and astigmatism. Not all LASIK is created alike.

Sub-Bowman keratomileusis, or SBK, is a modern form of LASIK, and we are pleased to offer SBK laser eye surgery in St. Louis at Brinton Vision. SBK is commonly referred to as bladeless LASIK. We combine state-of-the-art lasers with wavefront diagnostic technology to map the surface and interior of the entire eye for results that are more precise than ever. In fact, due to this technology, many patients who have been told they are not candidates for LASIK can be treated right here in St Louis at Brinton Vision.

Affording LASIK

Quality of care and outcome should be your top priority when considering LASIK or any other laser eye surgery. Brinton Vision encourages you to research your options and decide for yourself if customized vision correction is right for you. We are committed to providing excellent patient experience that includes state-of-the-art, in-depth eye examinations to determine which procedure is best for your unique eyes. We offer monthly financing options and accept HSA and FSA.

Despite the fact that laser vision correction provides extraordinary results, most insurance companies consider them to be elective and do not cover the cost of LASIK. In today’s world of coupons and Groupons, cheap or discount LASIK may seem like a good option. However, prices advertised by these providers may or may not include use of new technology, availability of LASIK alternatives that may be better for you, advanced diagnostics, post-operative care and patient satisfaction guarantees. Brinton Vision offers a difference you can see from the moment you walk in our door.

LASIK alternatives

In this modern day and age, LASIK is not the only option for visual freedom. Visian ICL, SMILE, KAMRA inlay, PRK, CLR (Custom Lens Replacement) and SBK are better options for many people, yet it can be difficult to find a LASIK surgeon who has invested in the training and technology needed to provide LASIK alternatives.

Brinton Vision specializes in LASIK plus all six of its modern alternatives. We take great pride in providing proven technology and personalized treatments to help the people of St. Louis achieve their visual freedom, even if they’ve been told they are not candidates for LASIK. Your Brinton Vision Ocular Analysis will allow Dr. Brinton to provide a personalized recommendation to best meet your vision goals.

Cataracts

Cataracts are a natural part of the aging process. In the past, cataract surgery has been limited by lens implants that could not correct a full range of vision. Many St. Louis cataract surgery centers still use these lenses even though they don’t offer the freedom from glasses that our patients seek. At Brinton Vision, we offer an alternative called Custom Lens Replacement (CLR) that not only eliminates the worry of cataracts, but that can give our patients clear, crisp vision before cataracts lead to serious vision problems.

CLR is a LASIK alternative in which the lens of the eye, where cataracts develop, is replaced with a lens that corrects vision and prevents further cataract development. For many patients, that means no more glasses, no more cataracts and no more missing out on life’s beautiful moments.

Presbyopia

Age-related loss of near vision begins to affect most of us in our 40s and early 50s. This so-called over-40 vision problem is called presbyopia, and it affects all of us as the lenses of our eyes become less flexible with age. It’s the reason most of us end up with a colorful supply of reading glasses. Without treatment, presbyopia progresses, worsening our vision and changing our glasses prescriptions from bifocals to trifocals to progressive lenses.

Brinton Vision specializes in giving our patients clear vision without glasses or contacts, including those whose lives are affected by presbyopia. Modern PRK is among the latest in our toolbox of available procedures to help patients achieve visual freedom. We also offer SMILE laser vision correction, SBK and KAMRA inlay, all of which address presbyopia in different ways.
