More than LASIK

LASIK is one path. Brinton Vision evaluates several.

Not every patient is a LASIK candidate. A diagnostic-first process helps determine whether LASIK or another modern procedure may better fit your eyes.

SBK LASIK Advanced laser vision correction for many qualified candidates.
SMILE A small-incision laser vision correction option for select patients.
PRK A laser option often considered when corneal anatomy calls for a different approach.
EVO ICL An implantable lens option often discussed for higher prescriptions or LASIK limitations.
CLR A lens-based option often discussed when reading vision or age-related lens changes matter.

Common questions

LASIK and vision correction FAQ

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 PRK, EVO ICL,SMILE, 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.
