The honest answers, first.
Does it hurt?
Most patients experience no discomfort during vision correction surgery. We use a combination of medicines and numbing eye drops to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Mild and temporary irritation or light sensitivity immediately afterward is normal and typically improves quickly.
How soon will I see clearly?
Many patients notice improved vision within 24 hours and many are even able to drive themselves to their appointment the next day! Your doctors will explain exactly what to expect based on the procedure best for your eyes.
Which procedure is right for me?
At Austin NuVision West, we offer every form of modern vision correction including LASIK, SMILE, EVO ICL, refractive lens exchange (RLE), and cataract surgery with the most advanced technology available. The best procedure depends on many factors including your age, prescription, eye health, and lifestyle. A comprehensive consultation helps us recommend the best procedure for your unique eyes.
What does it cost, and can I finance it?
The cost of vision correction depends on the procedure and your individual needs. Austin NuVision West offers several forms of convenient financing and payment options. Our team will help you understand your options.
