What #1 California’s Eye Specialists in Gilroy Can Do for You
Once upon a time, defective vision was treated with glasses. Monocles, spectacles, the pince-nez that pinched the wearer’s nose rather than using arms over their ears. Eventually, thanks to the rise in popularity of sunglasses, prescription glasses acquired a certain cool. And yet… they were an impediment. They get in the way, they’re delicate and they’re just one more thing to think about when you’ve got enough on your mind already.
Enter contact lenses: put them in and forget about them. Except you can’t. You have to put them in, take them out, clean them, or have an endless supply of disposable ones. Not ideal.
An eye doctor in Gilroy CA has the solution: surgery. Have a procedure to correct your vision. Then it’s all done and dusted, and you really can forget about it.
The California eye surgeons in Gilroy notably include those at IQ Laser Vision. Eye surgery may seem daunting, but you will be in good hands with us. For those closer to San Jose, our laser eye center in San Jose, CA, offers the same cutting-edge procedures and exceptional care.
When you visit Ellis Eye by IQ Laser Vision in Gilroy, you’ll discover diverse vision correction options, including ZEISS SMILE, LASIK, EVO ICL, pterygium treatment, and cataract surgery. Our team is here and ready to help!
Consider ZEISS SMILE and LASIK in Gilroy, CA
When you choose Ellis Eye by IQ Laser Vision in Gilroy, you’ll find only the best laser vision correction procedures, including LASIK and ZEISS SMILE. Our experience has helped countless patients achieve the crisp, clear vision they once only dreamed of by reducing their dependence on visual aids.
LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that corrects refractive errors. These include nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
The procedure reshapes the cornea and corrects refractive errors. Reshaping the cornea does more than simply correct refractive errors, though. Part of the appeal of LASIK is that it corrects vision beyond the original prescription, with most patients achieving 20/20 vision or better.
ZEISS SMILE is another popular vision correction procedure offered at Ellis Eye by IQ Laser Vision in Gilroy. ZEISS SMILE corrects astigmatism and nearsightedness in qualified candidates.
With both ZEISS SMILE and LASIK, many patients notice almost immediate results. Recovery is quick, and before you know it, you’ll be back to what you love, but with the best vision of your life.
Some of the Services We Offer at Gilroy Clinic
Laser eye surgery is the big thing in vision correction now. As the name suggests, it involves using a laser rather than a scalpel to alter the shape of the cornea, the transparent coating on the surface of the eye. This can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and even astigmatism, where the lens is misshapen.
Laser surgery has several branches, including LASIK, LASEK, and PRK, and our specialists will discuss with you the differences, and which will be best in your case.
Whether your problem is close work such as reading a book or small print on your phone, distance work as simple as recognizing a friend who is walking towards you on the street, or the more serious issue of driving safely, our Gilroy eye specialists can help you. In addition to our Gilroy location, we also operate a state-of-the-art laser eye center in Pleasanton, providing accessible vision correction services across the region.
We are also cataract experts, skilled at addressing the clouding or fuzziness that can occur on the lens and needs to be removed. These issues have troubled humans for millennia, although our distant ancestors didn’t have to worry about driving. However, spotting an angry dinosaur heading their way would have been much easier with the help of our eye surgeons in Gilroy, CA.
There is also something called ZEISS SMILE, a procedure that can be a good option for patients who need their nearsightedness and astigmatism corrected. You may recognize the ZEISS name from the world of photography, where the company gained an enviable reputation for its fabulous, precisely engineered lenses. It brings the same level of excellence to this branch of eye surgery.
Patients Love EVO ICL
If you love the idea of a vision correction procedure you can undergo without committing to something permanent, EVO ICL is the way to go. It’s the first and only reversible vision correction procedure!
Knowing that the EVO ICL procedure is reversible gives many patients some much-needed peace of mind. Although most choose to leave EVO ICL in, it’s always an option to have it removed.
EVO ICL is made of a biocompatible material called collamer that works in natural harmony with your eye to prevent dry eyes after implantation. Because of this, EVO ICL is an excellent choice for patients with dry eye syndrome who don’t qualify for LASIK or those worried about dry eyes during recovery from a vision correction procedure.
Cataracts and Undergoing Cataract Surgery
Have you noticed that your vision is blurry? Do you see halos around streetlights or from oncoming traffic when you drive at night?
These are often signs of cataracts, which can develop as early as your forties or fifties. If you have a cataract, you’ll likely need cataract surgery if you’re suffering from impaired vision.
Cataract surgery removes your natural lens and replaces it with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens. The intraocular lens allows you to see clearly and, depending on the IOL chosen, may allow you to reduce your reliance on visual aids after cataract removal.
Treating Pterygium
If you spend a lot of time outdoors in Gilroy, you may develop a pterygium. Pterygium is more common if you live in sunny, dry places.
They are small, triangular growths that form on the eye’s conjunctiva. They may obstruct vision, cause irritation and redness, or make you feel uncomfortable about your appearance.
The best way to treat pterygium is by having it removed at Ellis Eye by IQ Laser Vision. The procedure will remove the pterygium; after recovery, you can return to your usual activities.
