Laser Therapy
Lasers figure prominently in many of the most advanced techniques for repairing and treating eye conditions. Lasers use narrow beams of light, precisely directed, to produce excellent results with minimal tissue disruption.

Grossnickle Eye Center is equipped with four state-of-the-art lasers onsite: the Excimer laser (used for LASIK surgery), the argon laser, the YAG laser and the Selecta II laser. In addition to their role in LASIK, lasers are used to treat conditions including:

Glaucoma: The elevated eye pressure associated with glaucoma is typically managed medically; in some cases, lasers can help to open fluid channels in the eye for better drainage.

Cloudy membranes: Lasers can open cloudy membranes that can sometimes occur in the months and years following cataract surgery.

Retinal tears: Lasers are effective in sealing the edges of a torn retina, to prevent detachment.

Retinal disorders: Lasers can control damage to retinal blood vessels due to diabetes or other causes.
