LASER VISION CORRECTION CENTER
Clear Vision, Built Around Your Life
For over two decades, Newman LASIK Centers has helped Northern California residents wake up to crisp, clear sight without relying on glasses or contact lenses. Vision correction isn't just about reading a chart; it’s about moving through your day with freedom, confidence, and comfort. Whether you’re heading out early, active outdoors, or managing a busy schedule, seeing clearly makes every moment effortless.
Every eye is distinct, and every person’s visual requirements are unique. At Newman LASIK Centers, we tailor every treatment plan to match your individual eye anatomy and lifestyle priorities.
Understanding Your Modern Vision Correction Options
Laser vision correction reshapes the cornea—the clear front surface of your eye—allowing light to focus precisely on the retina. Depending on your corneal thickness, vision prescription, and overall ocular health, our experienced specialists focus on two proven, reliable options to deliver peak visual clarity:
-
LASIK: The most recognized form of laser vision correction. LASIK creates a thin flap in the upper layer of the cornea, allowing a secondary laser to reshape the underlying tissue. Visual recovery is fast, with most patients noticing a dramatic improvement within 24 hours.
-
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): An ideal solution for individuals with thinner corneas, active lifestyle demands, or specific professions. PRK gently removes the outer layer of corneal cells before reshaping the surface, eliminating the need for a flap while delivering identical long-term visual results.
During your comprehensive evaluation, we evaluate your eye structure using advanced diagnostic mapping to determine whether LASIK or PRK is the safest, most effective path for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between LASIK and PRK?
The key distinction between the two procedures lies in how the inner layer of the cornea is accessed. LASIK creates a thin, micro-thin flap on the surface of the cornea, which is gently folded back so the laser can reshape the underlying tissue before the flap is placed back in position. PRK removes the outermost layer of corneal cells entirely before reshaping the surface; this outer layer naturally regenerates over the course of a few days. Both procedures use the same advanced laser technology to correct vision, leading to identical long-term visual outcomes.
How do I know if I am a better candidate for LASIK or PRK?
Determining the right procedure depends on a thorough clinical examination of your eye anatomy, lifestyle, and medical history. LASIK is often preferred by patients seeking a rapid recovery, as vision typically sharpens within 24 hours. PRK is frequently recommended for patients with thinner corneas, irregular corneal surface features, dry eye tendencies, or individuals involved in high-contact sports or demanding professions where a corneal flap might pose a risk.
Can LASIK or PRK effectively treat farsightedness (hyperopia)?
Yes. Modern custom laser technology can correct farsightedness just as effectively as nearsightedness and astigmatism. Instead of flattening the central cornea as done for nearsightedness, the laser precisely reshapes the outer edges of the cornea to steepen the center. This helps direct light properly onto the retina, restoring sharp focus for reading and close-up tasks without reliance on corrective lenses.
What is the typical recovery timeline after laser vision correction?
Recovery varies slightly depending on the specific procedure performed. LASIK patients generally experience significant visual improvement within 12 to 24 hours, with most returning to work and driving the day after treatment. PRK recovery requires a slightly longer window because the surface layer of corneal cells needs time to grow back; visual clarity improves gradually over 3 to 5 days, with full stabilization occurring over a few weeks. Modern post-care protocols ensure comfort throughout the healing process for both options.
