LASIK Eye Surgery in Appleton / Green Bay
Dr. Alexander's education and experience allow him to confidently perform a range of laser vision correction procedures, including LASIK, UltraSight LASIK and PRK. As a pioneer of the UltraSight LASIK procedure, Dr. Alexander recommends this treatment due to its enhanced precision and safety. When performing UltraSight LASIK, Dr. Alexander uses FDA-approved Allegretto WaveScan technology in combination with the IntraLase femtosecond laser. As a result, UltraSight LASIK Appleton / Green Bay patients experience a completely blade-less surgery whereby the laser is calibrated to reshape the cornea according to each patient's unique vision correction needs.
Recognizing that some patients are prevented from undergoing LASIK eye surgery due to thin corneas, Dr. Alexander also offers PRK. This form of laser eye surgery does not require the creation of the corneal flap (the first step of LASIK procedure) because the laser energy is applied directly onto the eye's surface. While the recovery after PRK is somewhat longer than recovery after LASIK, PRK patients experience similar vision correction results.
