Introduction

Welcome to Pointe Vision Care, your go-to destination for top-quality refractive surgery and comprehensive eye care services. As a trusted provider in the field, David J Scholten, OD, PC, is committed to delivering exceptional care and helping you achieve the best possible vision outcomes.

The Importance of Refractive Surgery

Refractive surgery has revolutionized the way we correct vision problems. It addresses a variety of refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. If you are tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses, refractive surgery offers a long-lasting solution that can significantly improve your quality of life.

Types of Refractive Surgery

At Pointe Vision Care, we offer a range of refractive surgery procedures tailored to meet your unique needs. These include:

LASIK

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and widely performed refractive procedure. It corrects refractive errors by reshaping the cornea using a laser. This outpatient procedure has a quick recovery period and offers excellent visual outcomes, with many patients achieving 20/20 vision or better.

PRK

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an alternative to LASIK, suitable for patients with thin corneas or other contraindications. It involves the use of a laser to reshape the cornea's surface, improving vision and reducing or eliminating the need for corrective lenses. The recovery period for PRK is slightly longer compared to LASIK, but the results are equally impressive.

SMILE

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the latest advancement in refractive surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects myopia and astigmatism by creating a small incision within the cornea to remove a thin layer of tissue. SMILE offers rapid healing, minimal discomfort, and remarkable visual outcomes, making it an appealing option for many patients.
