Custom All-Laser LASIK is a two-step procedure that enables our eye surgeons to further customize the Wavefront-guided LASIK procedure to your individual eyes. First, a precise Laser custom flap is created in approximately six seconds using a 200 kHz Femtosecond laser.

The skills and care of your LASIK surgeon are critical to your outcome, but the technology used is equally essential. That’s why Coastal Vision is proud to offer Alcon’s WaveLight® Refractive Suite, the fastest refractive surgery platform available in the U.S.

With age, you may develop the need for reading glasses in order to compensate for a condition called presbyopia. When this condition is treated with Custom All-Laser LASIK, you and your doctor may decide to leave one eye slightly nearsighted. This is called monovision and may allow you to maintain your ability to read after presbyopia begins.

PRK has proven to be remarkably effective at treating nearsightedness, hyperopia, and astigmatism. As with LASIK, PRK is performed to help you become less dependent on glasses and contacts to improve your vision. The main difference between PRK and LASIK is that PRK removes the outer skin of the cornea, and applies the laser directly to the cornea’s surface, whereas LASIK creates a corneal flap without removing the entire outer layer of the cornea, followed by laser treatment to the inner tissue of the cornea.

We stand behind our surgical results. If a future enhancement or ”touch-up” is needed to maintain your vision results you will receive a same-technology enhancement procedure at no cost, if medically advisable.

Coastal Vision Medical Group utilizes the complete Wavelight suite—the fastest refractive laser suite in the U.S.

The EVO ICL is an Implantable Collamer Lens that works with the eye to correct vision. Unlike traditional contact lenses that go on the surface of the eye, the EVO ICL is positioned inside the eye between the iris (the colored part of the eye) and the natural lens where it stays indefinitely. If your vision changes dramatically, however, it can be removed.

​​​​​​​Refractive lens exchange is also known as clear lens extraction and lens replacement surgery.

People in their 40s and 50s begin experiencing changes in their vision and those who never needed glasses or contact lenses before, are now needing them to see both up close and some intermediate distances.

With no concentric rings, patients reported a low incidence of visual disturbances such as glare and halos.

Cataract removal is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures in the world today. In fact, more than three million cataract surgeries are performed each year in the United States. The operation entails making a tiny incision in the eye and inserting an instrument about the size of a pen tip to break up, and remove the cloudy lens. Once the cloudy lens is removed, a Cataract replacement lens, or “IOL,” is inserted through the same tiny incision and set into its permanent position.

Today, with the wonderful advances in intraocular lens (IOL) technology, Coastal Vision Medical Group is able to offer a variety of lens technology options to tailor a customized cataract treatment to fit your individual lifestyle.

With advancements in multifocal lens technology, implantation of these lenses after cataract surgery may provide patients with the advantages of reducing or even eliminating dependence on glasses altogether. Read more about the various lens options available at Coastal Vision Medical Group.

Incisions during cataract surgery are necessary to allow your surgeon to gently break up and remove the cloudy lens. Your new replacement Intraocular Lens (IOL) is also put into place through this incision.

Traditional cataract surgery involves making the incision with a hand-held blade and using an ultrasonic device to break up and remove the lens. While this method can still be effective, Coastal Vision Medical Group also offers laser-assisted cataract surgery technology: LenSx® and LENSAR®.

At Coastal Vision Medical Group, we use only the latest surgical technologies to give all our patients the very best outcomes. Coastal Vision Medical Group was the first center in Southern California to use the ORA® System with VerifEye™ for cataract surgery.

The cornea is the front, dome-shaped, transparent part of the eye. The clarity and shape of the Cornea are vital in their main role: focusing light onto the retina. There are a number of conditions that can affect the clarity and shape of the cornea and in turn the quality of vision. Some of these conditions include Keratoconus, Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy, scarring, and infections.
