Our San Francisco office on Van Ness Avenue is a second option by way of US-101 for those who prefer it, though it is never required for Napa area care.

Vision Correction Procedures for Napa County Patients

Cataract Surgery

A cataract forms when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, which can lead to blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). Napa County patients often ask about lifestyle lens options that may reduce dependence on glasses for certain distances. During your consultation, our team reviews whether you are a candidate and which lens platform may suit your eyes and daily activities. Results may vary from person to person.

Learn more on our cataract surgery overview, or see our cataract surgery in Santa Rosa page, which is the closest cataract location for most Napa County patients.

SMILE

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a laser vision correction procedure used to treat nearsightedness and astigmatism through a small corneal opening. Because it is flapless, some patients are drawn to it for that reason. Candidacy depends on your prescription and corneal measurements, which we confirm during a consultation. As with all procedures we discuss, individual results vary and SMILE is not right for everyone.

Read the full details on our SMILE laser eye surgery page. Napa County patients can arrange evaluation at whichever LaserVue office is most convenient.

PRK

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a surface based laser procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive error. It is often considered for patients with thinner corneas or corneal shapes that may make other laser options less suitable. Recovery of clear vision tends to be more gradual than with flap based procedures. Whether PRK is appropriate for you is determined during your evaluation, and results may vary.

See our PRK page for a deeper explanation of the procedure, candidacy, and recovery. Consultations are available for Napa County residents at either office.

EVO ICL

The EVO ICL is an implantable Collamer lens placed inside the eye to correct nearsightedness, and in some cases nearsightedness with astigmatism, without removing corneal tissue. It is sometimes discussed as an option for patients who are not ideal laser candidates. Suitability depends on a full eye evaluation, and as with every procedure, individual results vary.

Explore the details on our EVO ICL page. Napa County patients are welcome to begin with a consultation to see whether they may be a candidate.

Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), also called Clear Lens Exchange, replaces the eye’s natural lens with an intraocular lens to address refractive error. It is often discussed for patients dealing with presbyopia or a degree of farsightedness that laser procedures may not fully address. Because it involves a lens implant, it is frequently considered by patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses for multiple distances. Candidacy and expected outcomes are reviewed during your consultation, and results may vary.

Read more on our refractive lens exchange page. Evaluations are available to Napa County patients at the office they prefer.
