At Eyecare Optometry of Redondo Beach, we are pleased to offer comprehensive refractive surgery consultations — your first step toward achieving clearer, glasses-free vision. Whether you are considering LASIK, PRK, SMILE, or an implantable lens procedure, our doctors will guide you through every stage of the process with personalized care and expert knowledge.
What Is Refractive Surgery?
Refractive surgery is a category of procedures designed to correct common vision problems — including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism — by reshaping the cornea or implanting a corrective lens inside the eye. The goal is to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Why Start with a Consultation?
Not everyone is a candidate for every procedure. A thorough pre-surgical evaluation is essential to determine which option is safest and most effective for your specific eyes. Our consultation includes:
- Personalized Assessment — We evaluate your corneal thickness, curvature, pupil size, prescription stability, and overall eye health to identify the best surgical option for you.
- Discussion of Options — We review all available procedures including LASIK, PRK, SMILE, and Visian ICL so you can make a fully informed decision.
- Expectations and Outcomes — We provide a clear picture of what to expect before, during, and after surgery, including realistic outcomes and any potential risks.
- Pre- and Post-Op Guidance — Our team supports you throughout preparation and recovery, coordinating with your surgical center for seamless co-management care.
Procedures We Co-Manage
- LASIK — The most common elective eye procedure, ideal for most prescriptions

Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for refractive surgery if you are over 18 with a stable prescription, have healthy corneas, and are free of certain eye conditions. Contact us to schedule a consultation — we'll give you a clear answer and a personalized recommendation.
