🤩 Testimonial Tuesday!! 🤩

"Got LASIK done in both eyes yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. I’d recommend Chu Vision to anyone interested in LASIK surgery. Dr. Chu & everyone there did an amazing job throughout the whole process. They made me feel less anxious, and very comfortable throughout the procedure. The procedure itself was painless and a lot less scary than it seems. Within 24 hours of the surgery, I’m seeing clear and my eyes feel normal. LASIK is truly life-changing and better than I could have ever imagined. Chu Vision is the best in the business!"

LASIK is still our most popular laser vision correction procedure!

- 10-minute procedure
- Virtually painless
- Back to regular life in 24 hours
- Free Consultation
- Reduce or Eliminate the need for contacts and glasses

Excellence that is felt from the top down!
When you feel comfortable and confident, we've done our job!

Light Adjustable Lens:

- The lens is made of a unique silicone material that changes shape when exposed to ultraviolet light.

- After LAL implantation, patients undergo a series of non-invasive treatments during which the implanted lens is exposed to a precise amount of UV light to achieve the desired prescription.

- The LAL power can be adjusted post-operatively, accounting for your eyes' unpredictable natural healing

✨Testimonial Tuesday!✨

We get to see our Light Adjustable patients many times over several weeks to get them to their desired visual outcome. It means so much when they leave us kind words online 🤩

"From my first appointment to my last every member of the clinic was professional, competent, friendly , helpful and made me feel welcome. The care and information I received was exceptional and I am excited about the results. A+++!" ~Sandy

What is Light Adjustable Lens?
- LAL is a type of lens that is implanted during cataract surgery
- LAL is a revolutionary technology that offers unprecedented precision and personalization in vision correction.
- It not only treats common vision impairments such as myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), and astigmatism but also enables fine-tuning of vision post-surgery.
