“Life changing.”

That’s not something people say lightly!

LAL cataract surgery allows vision to be fine-tuned after surgery, offering a level of personalization that didn’t exist before. Just as important, our team focuses on making every patient feel supported throughout the process.

Cheers to seeing the Des Moines (and the world!) in a brand new way after LAL!

Insurance doesn’t usually cover LASIK.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a look. 👀

LASIK and other laser eye surgery options are typically considered elective, which is why insurance often doesn’t apply. People often choose to explore LASIK because of the long-term value — fewer ongoing costs for glasses, contacts, prescriptions, and exams over time.

Plus, no more glasses or contacts!

“Do I need glasses after LASIK?” is one of the most common questions we hear.

LASIK corrects vision by reshaping the cornea, and those results are permanent. However, natural age-related changes — especially with near vision — can still occur over time. It's a natural part of aging!

That’s why some patients later explore solutions like RLE, which are designed for the next stage of vision needs. Good news - MVC offers both!
