Contact lens wearers
For people frustrated by dry lenses, irritation, recurring orders, or backup glasses.
LASIK St. Louis • Modern vision correction
Brinton Vision evaluates patients for LASIK, SMILE, PRK, EVO ICL, and Custom Lens Replacement through a diagnostic-first process designed to match the procedure to the patient.
Built for real life
Many people start by searching for LASIK, but the better question is which modern vision correction option fits your eyes. Brinton Vision evaluates your prescription, anatomy, age, lifestyle, and goals before recommending a procedure.
Who this page is for
This page is designed for people who are tired of glasses, contacts, readers, prescription sunglasses, dry lenses, and visual limitations — including those who may need options beyond LASIK.
For people frustrated by dry lenses, irritation, recurring orders, or backup glasses.
For workouts, sports, travel, outdoor activities, and busy days where glasses get in the way.
For people who want clear vision during screens, meetings, classes, commutes, and long workdays.
For adults whose vision concerns may include readers, bifocals, progressive lenses, or age-related lens changes.
For patients whose vision has changed years after LASIK and who want to understand whether additional options may exist.
For patients previously told they were not candidates for LASIK who want to explore alternatives such as SMILE, PRK, EVO ICL, or CLR.
More than LASIK
Not every patient is a LASIK candidate. A diagnostic-first process helps determine whether LASIK or another modern procedure may better fit your eyes.

Common questions
These answers are educational. Your specific recommendation depends on diagnostic findings.
No. Brinton Vision does not position its diagnostic evaluation as a free consultation. The appropriate next step is the Brinton Vision Ocular Analysis, a diagnostic exam used to evaluate candidacy and procedure options.
LASIK candidacy depends on prescription stability, corneal shape and thickness, tear film, eye health, age, and visual goals. Diagnostic testing is required before anyone can confirm whether LASIK is appropriate.
Not being a LASIK candidate does not always mean you are out of options. Brinton Vision evaluates several modern procedures, including SMILE, PRK, EVO ICL, and Custom Lens Replacement.
Many people with astigmatism may be candidates for modern laser vision correction. The type, amount, and stability of astigmatism must be measured during diagnostic testing.
LASIK cost varies based on diagnostics, technology, procedure recommendation, surgeon expertise, and follow-up care. Brinton Vision discusses pricing and financing after candidacy and procedure fit are evaluated.
Many patients ask about HSA, FSA, and HRA payment options for vision correction. Brinton Vision can review available payment and financing options during the scheduling and evaluation process.
Schedule your Brinton Vision Ocular Analysis to learn whether LASIK or another modern vision correction option may be right for your eyes.
Individual candidacy, procedure recommendation, pricing, financing, and outcomes vary. Diagnostic evaluation is required.
