Montreal Laser Vision Correction | Honest Patient Communication
Dr. Michel Pop has been performing Montreal laser vision correction since he opened his first clinic in 1992. His practice is based on integrity, excellent rapport with patients and use of the latest technology.
Dr. Pop also believes in the value of information. He built his Website with a view to establishing open and honest communication with patients about the options for laser vision correction, and background on common vision problems and their possible treatments.
Laser Vision Correction - What It Is and How It's Done
Laser vision correction involves reshaping the eye to correct vision problems. It can correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
Dr. Pop uses two corrective techniques at his clinics:
- LASIK - intracorneal surgery
- PRK - superficial surgery
Dr. Pop achieves precision results through his use of Wavefront technology and Excimer lasers in both Lasik and PRK procedures. Wavefront uses the same technology found in the Hubble space telescope! With a multi-point analysis of the eye, Wavefront enables doctors to find all imperfections in the eye, unlike other diagnostic techniques which only find major problems.
With LASIK treatment, patients normal vision is usually restored within 24 hours. For PRK procedures, normal vision typically returns in 3 to 4 days.
Beyond Laser Vision Correction - Other Services from Dr. Pop
In addition to LASIK and PRK, Dr. Pop specializes in other vision correction procedures:
- Cataracts - Resulting from clouding of the natural crystalline lens in the eye, Dr. Pop uses microsurgery to remove the natural lens and replace it with an intraocular lens.
- Intraocular Lens Transplants - These lenses can correct severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
