For an active community like Hampstead, clear and reliable vision is especially important. Johnson Laser Eye is here to make sure your eyesight keeps up with your active coastal lifestyle.
LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most popular and trusted vision correction procedures available today. If you are tired of reaching for your glasses every morning or dealing with the daily hassle of contact lenses, LASIK may be the solution you have been waiting for.
During the LASIK procedure, our surgeons use a precisely guided laser to gently reshape the cornea, correcting the refractive errors that cause nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes per eye, and most patients notice a dramatic improvement in their vision within 24 hours.
During your consultation at Johnson Laser Eye, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your corneal thickness, prescription stability, and overall eye health to determine if LASIK is the right fit for you.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a natural part of aging and develop when the eye’s crystalline lens becomes clouded over time. For many people, cataracts gradually blur their vision, dim colors, and make activities like driving at night increasingly difficult. The good news is that cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed surgical procedures in the country.
At Johnson Laser Eye, we perform state-of-the-art cataract surgery. During the procedure, the clouded natural lens is carefully removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) selected to match your visual needs and lifestyle goals. Depending on the lens type you choose, you may not need glasses at all after surgery.
Dr. Johnson will guide you through your options and help you choose the lens and approach that aligns with your vision goals.
EVO ICL
For patients who want the benefits of vision correction but are not good LASIK candidates, EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) offers a compelling alternative. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, EVO ICL works by implanting a thin, biocompatible lens inside the eye, positioned between the iris and the natural lens.
EVO ICL is particularly well-suited for patients with higher prescriptions, thin corneas, or chronic dry eye that would make LASIK less ideal. The lens is made from Collamer, a material uniquely compatible with the eye’s natural chemistry, and it contains a built-in UV filter to protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet light.
RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange)
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is an excellent option for patients who are over 40 and beginning to experience presbyopia (age-related near vision loss), as well as those with very high prescriptions that fall outside the range of laser procedures. RLE uses the same proven technology as cataract surgery, but is performed before cataracts develop.
During RLE, the eye’s natural lens is replaced with a premium IOL chosen to correct your specific prescription. Because the natural lens is removed, you will never develop cataracts in the treated eye. Many patients who choose RLE enjoy clear vision at multiple distances without needing glasses or contacts for the rest of their lives.
