Lasik, Cataract Surgery & Dry Eye Treatment in Thousand Oaks

At Laser Eye Center, we offer a range of advanced treatments to enhance your vision and improve your quality of life. Our state-of-the-art procedures are designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. Below, you’ll find an overview of our most popular services.

LASIK

LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a revolutionary procedure to correct common vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Using a precise laser, we reshape the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina, providing clearer vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. LASIK is known for its quick recovery time and long-lasting results, making it a popular choice for those seeking freedom from corrective eyewear.

EVO ICL

The EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is an excellent alternative to LASIK for patients with high degrees of myopia or thin corneas. This procedure involves implanting a biocompatible lens between the iris and the natural lens. The EVO ICL provides sharp, clear vision and is removable, offering a reversible solution to vision correction. It’s a safe, effective option for those who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE), is an alternative to LASIK for patients over 40. This procedure involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens to correct refractive errors such as presbyopia, myopia, and hyperopia. RLE can also prevent cataract formation in the future, providing a long-term solution for clear vision. The PanOptix lens, a popular choice for RLE, offers excellent visual outcomes across various distances, enhancing the quality of vision post-procedure.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective procedure to restore clear vision by removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). At Laser Eye Center, we use the latest surgical techniques and advanced IOLs, such as the PanOptix lens, to improve vision, often reducing dependence on glasses after surgery. This quick, outpatient procedure can significantly enhance your quality of life, making everyday activities easier and more enjoyable.

Pterygium & Pinguecula Treatment

Pterygium and pinguecula are benign growths on the eye’s surface that can cause discomfort, redness, and vision impairment. Our specialists offer comprehensive treatment options, including medication to reduce inflammation and surgical removal for more advanced cases. By addressing these conditions early, we help maintain the health and clarity of your eyes, preventing further complications.

Dry Eye Treatment (iLux and Blephex)

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that can cause chronic discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision. It occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. At Laser Eye Center, we understand the impact that dry eyes can have on your daily life, and we offer advanced treatments like iLux and Blephex to manage dry eye symptoms effectively.

iLux Treatment: iLux is a cutting-edge device that uses light-based technology to warm and express the meibomian glands in your eyelids. These glands produce the oily layer of your tears, which helps prevent evaporation. When the glands become blocked or dysfunctional, it can lead to dry eye syndrome. During the iLux procedure, the device gently heats the glands to melt any blockages to express the oils. This treatment can significantly improve tear quality and provide long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.

Blephex Treatment: Blephex is a painless in-office procedure that targets blepharitis, a common cause of dry eye. Blepharitis occurs when the eyelids become inflamed due to the buildup of bacteria and debris around the eyelash base. This can lead to irritation, redness, and dry eye symptoms. Blephex uses a specialized micro-sponge to clean the eyelids, removing debris and bacteria that contribute to inflammation. Regular Blephex treatments can help maintain eyelid hygiene, reduce inflammation, and improve overall eye health. In addition to iLux and Blephex, our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, and other interventions to manage your dry eye symptoms effectively. We believe in a comprehensive approach to dry eye treatment that addresses the underlying causes and provides long-term relief.

Corneal Crosslinking

Corneal crosslinking is a treatment for keratoconus, a condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, leading to distorted vision. This procedure strengthens the corneal tissue by creating new collagen crosslinks, halting the progression of keratoconus. Corneal crosslinking can stabilize your vision and reduce the need for corneal transplants in the future.

Hard Contact Lens Fitting

Hard contact lenses, also known as rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses, offer excellent vision correction for patients with irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus or astigmatism. Our expert optometrists at Laser Eye Center provide precise fittings to ensure maximum comfort and visual clarity. These lenses allow more oxygen to reach the eye compared to soft lenses, promoting better eye health for long-term wearers.

Intacs

Intacs are small, arc-shaped inserts placed in the cornea to correct vision in patients with keratoconus or mild myopia. This procedure is reversible and can delay or eliminate the need for a corneal transplant. Intacs work by reshaping the cornea, improving its focus, and providing clearer vision. Our experienced surgeons at Laser Eye Center ensure precise placement for optimal results.
