Advanced Technology SureVision Eye Centers invests in the very latest surgical instruments, lasers, and diagnostic testing equipment available. From LASIK to cataract surgery to cosmetic surgery to the treatment of glaucoma SureVision Eye Centers leads the region in state-of-the-art technology. In 2003, the SureVision Laser Center - Midwest introduced CustomCornea to the St. Louis region. This is the most advanced technique for performing laser refractive surgery approved for use in the USA. By combining LADARWave analysis with customized LADARVision treatment, our doctors can reduce the distortions that cause glare and fuzzy vision in addition to correcting nearsightedness. This has the ability to give your vision higher definition. And in the St. Louis region, it is only available at SureVision Laser Center. In 2002, our doctors had the first Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) laser for the treatment of glaucoma in the bistate region, and we introduced Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) to Saint Louis. ECP allows us to treat glaucoma at the time of cataract surgery. CK is an office procedure that uses gentle radio waves to reshape the cornea, allowing people over 45 who always had good vision without glasses or contact lenses to leave home without their reading glasses.
