How we can help
The most common vision problem facing Americans is nearsightedness or farsightedness. Over a million people have had their nearsightedness or farsightedness treated with the most advanced laser surgery to correct vision, LASIK. If nearsightedness has limited your pursuit of sports, hobbies, or careers, LASIK could help by reducing dependency on glasses or contacts and allow the active lifestyle you’ve always wanted.
At The Vision Care Center there are no routine LASIK patients. Every patient is unique with unique vision correction and lifestyle needs such as hobbies, careers, and family dynamics. We accommodate your vision needs with optional no cost/ no obligation consults conducted by our certified refractive coordinator, Amanda Reshetar available Monday through Friday. Our complimentary consultations provide the opportunity to gain such critical information as corneal thickness, pupil size, glasses prescription, occupational vision needs, and visual desires with activities/ hobbies you enjoy. The consultations also provide the opportunity to meet Dr. Tharp, our LASIK team and our facility. You can also do this by attending a complimentary lunch seminar where we discuss LASIK and other refractive procedures.
