Vision Correction
Eyes on Main provides treatment, consultation and referrals for these common vision correction surgeries and procedures.
Vision correction is a general term used to describe a variety of optometric techniques for correcting less-than-perfect vision. For your convenience, we have included a brief description of some of the most common vision correction procedures offered in the Gallatin area. Our office works closely with the TLC Lasik Eye Center in Billings, Vance Thompson Vision here in Bozeman, as well as other talented surgical physicians across the state of Montana. For information about lenses and frames or contacts, please visit their respective pages.
LASIK
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea. Patients who are nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatic may benefit from this type of procedure.
While millions of patients have seen successful results from LASIK, the procedure is not right for everyone. Your optometrist will need to thoroughly examine your eyes to determine which type of vision correction best fits your needs. Dr. Squire handles all Pre-Operative and Post-Operative care for his patients who elect for Lasik Surgery. If Lasik is an option you are considering, we will guide you through the process from start to perfect vision!
This helpful video from the TLC Lasik Eye Center in Billings describes what LASIK is and what the procedure can do for your vision:
Low Vision Therapy
Low vision is a general term that refers to a partial loss of vision that cannot be adequately corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, medications or surgery. Common causes of low vision include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inherited retinal degenerative diseases, glaucoma and optic nerve atrophy.
Low vision therapy typically includes an evaluation of the patient’s visual abilities, prescription of low vision devices and training in their use. The goal is to maximize the use of the patient’s available vision for reading, writing, hobbies and work-related tasks such as working at a computer.
Eyes on Main has the experience and equipment necessary to provide treatment, consultation and referrals for the vision correction procedures and surgeries detailed above at our office in Bozeman.
