LASIK and Your Vision Correction - Bascom Palmer Eye Institute

For Many Patients,
the Wait is Over
The Vision Correction
Center at Bascom Palmer
For many patients who want to see near, far and
everywhere in between without eyeglasses, the
wait may be over. Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
offers a full spectrum of vision correction options
from LASIK and CK to the newest natural lens
replacement technologies. We can now treat
people who, as recently as a year ago, were not
suitable candidates.
The number of vision correction options
available grow with advancing technology; and
choosing the right procedure takes careful
consideration and planning. Bascom Palmer has
been involved in the development of many of the
technologies that are available today. This is
part of the reason Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
of the University of Miami Miller School of
Medicine is ranked the country’s #1 eye hospital
by U.S.News & World Report, and why it is
continually recognized by ophthalmologists as
having the nation’s best clinical eye care.
Your vision can now be treated with a wide
range of surgical techniques that may improve
vision beyond the 20/20 benchmark and
eliminate the need for corrective lenses
altogether.
In response, Bascom Palmer established its first
refractive surgery center in 1995. More than
20,000 refractive procedures have been
conducted at Bascom Palmer’s centers in Miami,
Palm Beach Gardens and Plantation. These
facilities offer the most advanced diagnostic and
therapeutic equipment with some of the nation’s
best recognized refractive surgeons.
Each of Bascom Palmer’s highly qualified
surgeons performing refractive surgery is an
ophthalmologist with fellowship training in cornea
and external diseases and certified by the
American Board of Ophthalmology. Because
Bascom Palmer refractive surgeons teach
various vision correction surgical techniques to
ophthalmologists across the nation and
participate as investigators in numerous clinical
trials to continually improve the procedures,
efficiencies and outcomes of vision correction
surgery, we use the most up-to-date and proven
techniques and technology to provide optimum
results for our patients.
