Eye Clinic North Canton

LASIK Center

Have glasses and contacts become too much for you to keep up with? Between paying for new frames or maintaining contacts, it’s no wonder millions of people have chosen to ditch traditional eyewear for LASIK. 

The LASIK procedure takes about 15 minutes to correct vision in both your eyes.  After completion, most patients notice vision improvement immediately and can return to work the next day. Along with visual clarity and a quick recovery period, you’ll feel more confident in the way you look. To get started with the life-changing effects of LASIK, schedule an appointment. 

Before any treatment or procedure, our doctors will evaluate your vision and eye health to ensure it’s right for you. If you find out you’re not a candidate for LASIK, contact us to learn about alternative procedures such as the VERISYSE lens.

Cataract Center

Does the glare from headlights keep you driving at night? Are you noticing blurry or cloudy vision? These are common symptoms of cataracts. Those 40 years and older should schedule an appointment for an evaluation immediately, as cataracts are the leading cause of blindness for that age group. 

During your evaluation, your doctor can diagnose your symptoms, evaluate your eye health, and work with you to find treatment options, including cataract surgery. We’re the leaders of blade-free cataract surgery in Stark County. To learn more about cataract surgery, contact us today.
