Ophthalmologist in Bensalem

Eye test Bensalem

At IC Laser Eye Care we provide patients with an eye test Bensalem and other ophthalmology services that contribute to healthy vision. We perform vision screenings as well, in order to check to see if the patient needs eyeglasses or contact lenses. We also perform surgeries such as LASIK to correct vision. An eye exam checks for eye diseases like glaucoma and cataracts, while a vision screening allows us to see if you need corrective lenses.

A vision screening will test for all levels of vision, called a refraction, for eyeglasses. Our vision correction surgery uses a laser to reshape the cornea in order to correct vision issues like nearsightedness and farsightedness. LASIK can be easily done in office and can also correct issues like astigmatism. If you are cleared as a candidate after your eye test Bensalem, we’ll then schedule you for your laser surgery. The procedure is a simple and takes about 15 minutes in which we administer eye drops to anesthetize the eye before using the laser to remove tissue from the cornea and reshape it. There is little to no pain, and antibiotics or anti-inflammatories will be prescribed if needed after surgery.

An eye test Bensalem will check for cataracts, a common vision condition that happens to eyes as they are aging. Proteins in the eye cluster together as people age, causing the lens to become clouded. Symptoms of cataracts are trouble seeing at night, blurry vision, and colors appearing faded or dim. Cataract surgery can replace the clouded lens with a new one. The new lens, called an intraocular lens, can give patients back their sight and allow them to see clearly. For more information on how our eye care center can help you have better eyes and to see more clearly, call IC Laser Eye Care today.
