Refractive Eye Surgery in Georgia

Expert Refractive Surgery at Georgia Vision Institute

Clear, reliable vision can transform your daily life, especially when you no longer depend on glasses or contact lenses. Refractive eye surgery offers a long-term solution for correcting common vision issues, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our experienced ophthalmologists offer advanced, personalized procedures tailored to your eye health, lifestyle, and long-term visual clarity goals.

What Is Refractive Eye Surgery?

Refractive eye surgery refers to a category of surgical procedures designed to improve the eye’s ability to focus by altering how light enters and is processed by the eye. In most cases, the shape of the cornea is adjusted, or a synthetic lens is implanted to correct the underlying refractive error. These surgeries can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear and are performed using advanced technologies that focus on precision and safety.

At Georgia Vision Institute, we offer several proven refractive surgery options, including EVO ICL™ lens implantation and Clear Lens Exchange. Each procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon and is designed to provide long-term results with minimal downtime.

EVO ICL™ Lens Implantation for Myopia Correction

The EVO ICL™ (Implantable Collamer® Lens) is a state-of-the-art option for individuals with moderate to severe nearsightedness. Unlike laser-based procedures that reshape the cornea, the EVO ICL involves placing a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye, between the iris and the natural lens. This lens works in harmony with your eye to improve how light is focused on the retina.

Many patients choose EVO ICL because it provides high-definition vision and is ideal for individuals who may not be good candidates for other procedures due to dry eyes or thin corneas. One of the unique advantages of this procedure is that it is reversible—the lens can be removed or replaced if needed. Most procedures take 30 minutes or less; patients typically notice significant visual improvement almost immediately.

Clear Lens Exchange (CLE) for Presbyopia and High Refractive Errors

Clear Lens Exchange, also known as Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), is a popular choice for patients over 40 who are experiencing age-related vision changes, such as presbyopia. During this procedure, the eye’s natural, clear lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) that improves focusing ability at various distances.

CLE can address a wide range of refractive errors and prevent the development of cataracts later in life, as the artificial lens does not degrade with age. It primarily benefits patients with high prescriptions outside the safe range for laser vision correction.

Is Refractive Eye Surgery Right for Me?

Deciding whether refractive eye surgery is right for you involves more than just reviewing your prescription. A thorough eye examination is essential to evaluate the overall health of your eyes, including corneal thickness, pupil size, tear film quality, and any other eye conditions.

During your consultation at Georgia Vision Institute, our eye care specialists will discuss your goals, lifestyle, and medical history. We’ll explain each procedure in detail, outline the risks and benefits, and answer any questions you may have.
