Feinerman Vision

How do I know which vision correction procedure is right for me?

The right procedure depends on your prescription, the thickness and health of your cornea, your age, and your visual goals. During your consultation I review your diagnostic imaging with you and walk through which options fit your eyes, whether that is LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL, or a lens-based procedure. You can also start with our vision correction candidacy quiz to get a sense of your options before we meet.

What if I have been told I am not a candidate for LASIK?

Many patients who are turned away from LASIK elsewhere still have excellent options here. A high prescription, thin corneas, or dry eye does not necessarily rule out vision correction. For these patients I often recommend EVO ICL, which corrects higher levels of nearsightedness than LASIK and does not remove corneal tissue, or PRK for thinner corneas. The goal of your evaluation is to find the procedure that fits your eyes, not to fit you into one procedure.

What are my options if I am noticing aging vision changes or cataracts?

As the eye’s natural lens ages it gradually loses flexibility and clarity, a process that begins well before a cataract forms. Depending on where you are in that process, options range from refractive lens exchange to cataract surgery with a premium lens. Each replaces the aging lens with an intraocular lens chosen for your eyes and lifestyle, and I will explain where your lens is in that progression and which approach makes sense for you.

How do premium lens options differ from standard cataract surgery?

Standard cataract surgery uses a monofocal lens that provides clear vision at one distance, usually far, with glasses for closer tasks. Premium lenses can extend your range of vision. Options such as Clareon® Vivity® for distance and intermediate, or Clareon® PanOptix® for a full range including near, are selected based on how you use your eyes each day. There is no single best lens. The right choice balances your range of vision, night-driving quality, reading-glass dependence, and long-term flexibility.

What is the difference between your two LASIK options?

I offer two laser platforms. Wavefront Optimized LASIK is a precise, proven treatment that preserves the natural shape of the cornea and is an excellent choice for most candidates. WaveLight® Plus LASIK uses INNOVEYES SightMap™ ray-tracing technology to map the full optical system of the eye and design a highly individualized treatment, for patients who want the highest level of customization. During your consultation I recommend the platform that best fits your eyes and goals.

Who performs my surgery and follow-up care?

I do, personally. Feinerman Vision is a boutique, single-surgeon practice, which means I perform your consultation, your procedure, and your follow-up visits myself. You are not handed off to a rotating team, and when you call our office a member of our team answers directly. I have personally performed more than 30,000 vision-correcting procedures since founding the practice in 2001.
