Personalized Vision Correction at WashU Medicine
Located in Creve Coeur, the WashU Medicine LASIK Surgery Center offers LASIK and PRK procedures designed to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Before surgery, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation that examines the health, shape and thickness of the cornea, along with other factors that help determine whether laser vision correction is an appropriate option.
“Safety and visual outcomes are always our top priorities,” said Stephen Wexler, MD, medical director of the WashU Medicine LASIK Surgery Center and professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences. “We take great care in selecting patients who are most likely to have excellent results with minimal risk.”
