Having an astigmatism doesn't always mean LASIK isn't an option. But if you aren't a candidate for LASIK, there are other vision correction procedures that might work for you. The best way to learn about your options is to schedule a complimentary consultation. Call or go online to schedule!

We are celebrating a major milestone with our Retina Team in Sioux Falls, SD. We've officially launched our Retina Research program and have begun enrollment for a revolutionary wet macular degeneration implant. This device has entered Phase 3 FDA Clinical Trials; It has the potential to reduce the frequency for wet macular degeneration injections to nearly 1 injection over a period of 9 months for patients. Most patients suffering from this disease currently require injections almost every month to every other month.
