Riverwoods Eye Center

Riverwoods Eye Center is a comprehensive ophthalmology provider that offers advanced cornea care, cataract and lens implant surgery, glaucoma and diabetes care, and LASIK. They have earned a reputation for their experienced and professional approach to eye surgery, and they have been the first in Utah to offer cutting-edge DMEK cornea transplantation and FDA-approved corneal cross-linking for keratoconus. They also offer Visian ICL, a clear lens implant that corrects vision without altering the cornea.

LASIK is one of the most popular laser eye surgeries to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Riverwoods Eye Center offers iLASIK, which is blade-free and much safer than regular LASIK, where a blade is used to make the flap. The procedure works by reshaping the cornea to enable the light entering the eye to focus properly onto the retina. Most patients experience little discomfort after the procedure, and in as short as 24 hours, they can enjoy 20/20 vision without glasses or contacts.

PRK is an alternative to LASIK that is of particular benefit if the cornea is too thin for LASIK or if a patient has undergone LASIK previously. PRK also eliminates the risk of flap complications and reduces the chance that too much of the cornea will be removed.

Riverwoods Eye Center takes extra time to ensure their patients understand what lens options are best suited to their particular situation and goals. They offer a wide variety of lens implants including multifocal and astigmatism correcting lenses. They also have the state-of-the-art equipment to safely and conveniently diagnose, follow, and treat glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, which are two of the most common preventable causes of vision loss.

Riverwoods Eye Center is located in Orem, Utah, and serves the surrounding areas. They have a team of experienced and knowledgeable doctors, including Dr. Thomas D. Myers and Dr. Matthew S. Ward. Patients have praised their kind and professional demeanor, and they have been impressed with the doctors' approach to their conditions. If you are considering LASIK, Visian ICL, or any other eye surgery, Riverwoods Eye Center is a provider that you can trust.
