Laser Eye Surgery in Toronto

Dr. Kranemann performs sophisticated forms of laser eye surgery using highly advanced laser equipment. Before receiving treatment, his Toronto laser eye surgery patients meet with him and his team at the Clearview Institute to discuss the patient's vision correction needs and to undergo a full evaluation of their eyes. During this time, Dr. Kraemann will discover if there are any extreme refractive errors that may impede the ability to perform LASIK. The Clearview Institute offers additional forms of vision correction for patients who are not suitable candidates for LASIK surgery.

Additional Vision Correction Options for Toronto Patients

For patients who are deemed unfit for LASIK surgery due to refractive irregularities such as myopia, Dr. Kranemann recommends alternative methods of vision correction. One option involves the implantation of Phakic Intraocular lenses. These lenses are made of thin material and are implanted over the eye to reduce the need for contact lenses or glasses and last indefinitely. Other options include conductive keratoplasty and refractive lens exchanges.
