LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at Conlon Eye Institute offers permanent vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using advanced laser technology, our surgeons reshape the cornea to improve visual clarity. Patients often achieve 20/20 vision or better with a 15-minute procedure and rapid recovery.
Laser Cataract Surgery
Our laser-assisted cataract surgery utilizes femtosecond technology for precise lens replacement. This procedure addresses clouded vision caused by cataracts and can incorporate premium intraocular lenses to correct additional vision issues. Over 3,000 procedures have been performed with exceptional outcomes.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange involves replacing the natural lens with an advanced implant to correct severe refractive errors. This option benefits patients with extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness who may not qualify for LASIK, providing long-term visual freedom from glasses.
Eyelid Reconstruction
Eyelid reconstruction addresses functional and cosmetic concerns caused by disease, injury, or congenital conditions. Our techniques restore both appearance and eye health, with procedures tailored to alleviate discomfort and improve vision when eyelid abnormalities interfere with sight.
PRK Surgery
PRK surgery reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, making it ideal for patients with thin corneas. This alternative to LASIK offers durable results for correcting refractive errors, with a slightly longer recovery period but comparable visual outcomes.

Questions
How safe is LASIK surgery?
LASIK is a highly safe procedure with a 96% patient satisfaction rate. Our surgeons use advanced technology to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
What are the requirements for LASIK eligibility?
Candidates must have stable vision, healthy corneas, and be at least 18 years old. A comprehensive eye exam determines suitability for the procedure.
Does laser cataract surgery require implants?
Yes, cataract surgery involves replacing the clouded lens with an intraocular lens implant. Premium options can correct additional vision issues like astigmatism.
How much does LASIK cost?
LASIK pricing varies based on individual needs. We offer competitive rates and financing options to make vision correction accessible for all patients.
What is the recovery time for PRK surgery?
PRK recovery takes 3-5 days for initial healing, with vision stabilizing over several weeks. It offers long-term results similar to LASIK with no flap-related risks.

Thanks to the entire team at Conlon for making my surgery as easy as possible. The staff was friendly and helpful. Dr Conlon provided a good explanation of what needed to happen and took time to answer my questions. Surgery was available quickly and all of his staff were kind and reassuring. Nurse Ashley follows up with you in the days after surgery and provided a cell number for all questions and concerns.

Process leading up to surgery was clear and efficient. On the procedure day, procedure was right on time, things were explained to be very clearly and the whole process was efficient. Everyone was super friendly and supportive. I received several follow up texts and a phone number to call with post surgical concerns.

I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Conlon Eye Institute for LASIK surgery. I was impressed from start to finish. The staff is efficient and professional and all appointments ran on time. I also could have been booked in for surgery within a week of my consultation if I had been prepared for that. I was extremely surprised by how quick and painless LASIK was and I experienced a quick and painless recovery with perfect vision! Couldnt have hoped for a better experience.

While the outcome of my surgery is very satisfactory, I was most impressed by the staff and how they interact with patients. Over my several visits, I observed each person being treated with respect, kindness and patience. Kudos to the staff for creating such a welcoming and positive atmosphere for everyone, regardless of their abilities.
