LASIK Surgery in Toronto

As a top Toronto laser eye surgery specialist, Dr. Kranemann performs a variety of laser vision correction procedures using the latest and most advanced laser equipment. For Toronto LASIK patients, the first step includes meeting with Dr. Kranemann and his team for a one-on-one personal consultation to discuss their vision correction needs and desires. In addition, Dr. Kranemann is able to evaluate the patient's eyes in order to determine if they have any extreme refractive errors, such as myopia or presbyopia, which may make them unsuitable for laser eye surgery. If Dr. Kranemann decides that the patient is not a good candidate for LASIK, other options are provided in order to help patients achieve the clear vision they desire.

Alternative Vision Correction Options for Toronto Patients

For patients who are not suited for laser surgery because of refractive irregularities such as , farsightedness, nearsightedness or astigmatism, Dr. Kranemann offers some alternate types of vision correction. One option involves corneal rings – a revolutionary invention in the field of eye surgery that does not require correction of myopia that cannot be treated through laser methods. During the procedure, a small cut is made at the top of the cornea and two transparent half-rings are placed at the perimeter of the cornea on either side of the pupil. While results are not as instantaneous as LASIK, patients still see dramatically improved eyesight in time.
