LASIK
LASIK surgery is a multi-step process. The ending result with LASIK is that the cornea is given a more regular shape to aid it in bending and to allow it to focus light more methodically.
PRK
As one of the top Monterey laser eye surgery providers, Dr. Penrose acknowledges that not all patients are candidates for LASIK. Therefore, he offers several variations of laser eye procedures including photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK).
Cataract Surgery
Dr. Penrose provides his patients with highly-effective, customized treatments. Monterey cataract surgery patients usually achieve clear vision at all distances.
