Looking for an eye care center with the most advanced treatments for LASIK eye correction, cataract removal surgery, glaucoma treatment, dry eye, or other eye problems? It’s more than just about 20/20 vision at Roholt Vision Institute. The eye doctors here are passionate about providing personalized and compassionate care. With practices in Canfield, Alliance and Canton, our commitment to innovative technology, continued analysis of surgical outcomes, advanced staff training, and a caring attitude combine to make Roholt Vision the best choice. Founder Dr. Philip Roholt is a vision doctor committed to introducing the latest innovative eye care technology and equipment. This eye dr is the first in Ohio to invest in the Teneo Excimer Laser. The laser is the first to be approved by the FDA for LASIK eye surgery in 17 years. Performed in a state-of-the-art surgery suite, the procedure works faster and with greater precision than other lasers. And since it reduces the time the cornea flap is raised during surgery, patients can expect better outcomes. LASIK is just one of the refractive surgeries we offer that will decrease your dependency on glasses or contact lenses. So, if you are told you are not a candidate for LASIK, we have other options that can improve your vision. To address the condition of dry eyes, we introduced Envision, a groundbreaking nonsurgical modality that stimulates the subdermal layers of the periorbital region and unclogs meibomian glands to produce and secrete more tears. A programmable, handheld applicator uses bipolar radio frequency. You can have a consultation for refractive procedures or Envision at our Canfield practice and then they would be performed in a dedicated surgery suite within the main Canton location. Our team of eye doctors, comprised of ophthalmologists and optometrists, is passionate about achieving the best results possible for patients. They excel in comprehensive vision tests and eyeglass exams, regular eye exams and diabetic eye exams on patients ranging from school-age children to seniors. The practice also carries lines of clinical strength at-home products to ease symptoms of dry eyes, including Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compresses, Omega supplements and Nordic Naturals supplements.
