Lasik FAQ vs. NearVision CK FAQ
Am I a candidate for laser vision correction?
We recommend that you come in for a free evaluation with the doctors of Global Laser Vision. When you bring your glasses or prescription, we will determine if a refractive procedure will offer you any benefit. During your free consultation, we will perform a computerized imaging of the cornea in order to determine its curvature.
Laser Vision Correction has been shown to reduce people's dependency for glasses and contact lenses.

Will I need glasses or contact lenses after the procedure?
LASIK, LASEK, and PRK are designed to reduce or eliminate your dependency on glasses and contact lenses. Patients may need glasses for reading, night driving, or other specific tasks depending on age and the type of treatment received. Most patients can do most things without glasses or contacts after the procedure.
