Here, our Williston-area surgeons explain the differences between LASIK and eyeglasses.

For our patients from Williston, iLASIK, among other laser eye surgery procedures, may completely eliminate the need for contact lenses and eyeglasses.

Tracy Stamper, businesswoman from Stamper Black Hills Gold Jewelry, shares her LASIK experience at the Black Hills Regional Eye Institute.

At the Black Hills Regional Eye Institute, we offer wavefront custom LASIK technology to patients that want to achieve superior visual results.  

LASIK surgery is effective, though one potential side effect is dry eye syndrome. This actually prevents a number of people from undergoing LASIK surgery. Let’s look at this issue in brief so you have a better understand of what this means to you.

In this blog post, we review the key differences between the LASIK and PRK procedures.

What is the magic age to have LASIK eye surgery?  Age isn't the only thing to consider, stabilization of vision is just as important.

Many patients are afraid that their eye is going to move during LASIK surgery and cause something to go wrong or even worse, a bad outcome for their vision.  Tracking eye movement during surgery is done during the procedure to help with this.  The Eye Institute uses Iris Registration for tracking.

There are several points to consider when making the decision to have LASIK or refractive surgery.  This checklist will help to answer some of those questions and make the decision about where to have LASIK surgery easier.

Even though you have had refractive surgery, it's still important to have yearly eye exams.  Don't forget to visit your Optometrist yearly to check for overall eye health.
