Request AppointmentKnow What to Expect
Refractive surgery has helped millions see more clearly, but it’s important to understand what it can and can’t do. Many patients experience 20/20 vision. However:
- You may still need reading glasses, especially if you’re over 40, due to presbyopia
- Additional treatments may be required in some cases
Am I a Candidate for Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery isn’t one-size-fits-all. During your pre-operative visit with us, we’ll discuss your health, vision needs, and lifestyle goals to help determine whether LASIK, PRK, or another surgical option is right for you.
You may be a good candidate for LASIK or PRK if:
- You’re over 18, and your prescription is stable
- Your eyes are generally healthy and free from disease
- You have a refractive error such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
- You’re not currently pregnant or nursing
What to Expect at Your Appointment
During your visit, we’ll:
- Assess your corneal shape and thickness
- Measure your prescription and visual needs
- Use imaging to examine your ocular health
- Discuss your medical history and vision goals
- Answer all your questions
Your Surgical Options
We work closely with your surgical team to provide co-management for the following procedures:
- LASIK reshapes the cornea using a laser to correct refractive errors, offering fast recovery and reduced dependence on glasses or contacts. Most people return to normal activities within a day or two.
- PRK is ideal for patients with thinner corneas or other concerns that make LASIK less suitable. It offers similar vision correction benefits, with a slightly longer recovery period.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens to correct high prescriptions or presbyopia, providing clear vision and reducing dependence on glasses.

What Our Patients are Saying
Wonderful experience from my initial call through to making my next appointment! The office team are friendly, professional, efficient, and kind. Dr. Deese took the time to listen to my concerns, examine my eye, explain my treatment plan and answer any questions. He is super personable and clearly very knowledgeable. I highly recommend the practice!
Michele
I’ve been coming here for a few years, but my former eye doctor retired last year, so my most recent appointment was with Dr. Wong. He was very thorough. I appreciated him indulging all my questions about the purpose of each machine, as well as, how different parts of the eye function. Great, seamless appointment.
Peighton
Dr Parsons is delightful. I’ve been going to Grove Eye Care for many years and when my doctor retired I was thinking maybe I’d look for someone closer to my home. But after meeting her and her caring professional team, I decided to stay…and am very happy I did!
Kathie
Dr. Parsons has been taking care of me and my family for years. The staff is amazing and very welcoming every time that I visit. They have state of the art equipment and technology. Dr. Parsons takes the time to thoroughly examine my eyes and she explains what she is doing step by step. The entire office is very clean and the environment is awesome!
Chaz
Top Notch! I had very nice experience. All the staff were very professional. My appointment on time. I was treated with the upmost of care and respect. All the care I was given was explained step by step not just of tests, but the why they were being done. My doctor made sure I understood the purpose of my whole exam. I was blown away by the attention I received. I appreciate their care.
Johnie
This was my first visit to your office. Everyone was helpful, polite positive and seem to enjoy their jobs. The girls at the front desk were fantastic. One even let me borrow her air pump to pump up my motorcycle tire. The doctor and the assistant eye specialist were excellent. Everything was explained to me and done in a professional manner.
