REFRACTIVE SURGERY
Refractive surgery is a short, painless procedure that reduces or eliminates the need for glasses and contacts to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.

Wills Eye refractive surgeons specialize in vision correcting surgery to give you clear, crisp vision without eyeglasses or contacts. It can be a life-changing experience for many people.
At Wills Eye, our doctors offer many forms of corrective eye surgery, including custom laser eye surgery (LASIK eye surgery and PRK eye surgery), implantable collamer lens surgery, and refractive lens exchange. The basic goal is to reduce people’s dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
Treatment is carefully tailored to the needs and lifestyle of each individual patient. Your Wills Eye experience includes a pre-procedure visit and thorough examination by one of our Philadelphia board-certified refractive surgeons and ophthalmologists, followed by the procedure itself and comprehensive follow-up care to ensure the best possible results.
LASIK (Laser in Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe and effective form of laser refractive surgery performed on the cornea to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
Like LASIK, PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a laser refractive surgery that reshapes your cornea to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is a vision correction procedure that is FDA approved to treat nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism in the United States.
Refractive lens exchange surgery involves carefully removing the natural lens in the eye through a small incision and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens implant.
