Every year, in honor of September 11th, The Rochester Eye & Laser Center honors those who work and sacrifice to protect us each day, by awarding free LASIK Laser Vision Correction Surgery to a deserving, local first responder.

KAMRA Near Vision Inlay is a great new technology for people who can see well, in middle-age, at distance, but are struggling with near vision.

This is a small inlay in the cornea, that we do under a normal LASIK flap, which we’ve been doing for 20 years. Once you’ve had the procedure, your eyes will settle out for good reading vision and some good intermediate vision as well.

Most people are surprised when they turn 65 to find out that Medicare has fairly limited benefits for vision services. After all, our vision often worsens as we age, so we generally need more vision care as an older adult.
