If you wear glasses or contact lenses, chances are you’ve thought about what it would be like to ditch them and wake up every morning with clear vision! If you’re wondering whether laser eye surgery can make that a reality, LMC Optometry provides information on the available procedures.
Reach out to our experienced eye care team and find out which type of laser eye surgery could be right for you.
Laser eye surgery can reduce refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia, and astigmatism.
Your cornea refracts (bends) light onto the retina, which is at the back of the eye near the optic nerve. If light isn’t focused directly on the retina, you might have blurry vision. This effect is called a refractive error.
Laser eye surgery reshapes your cornea to change the way light is refracted, enabling you to see more clearly.
If you’re interested in laser eye surgery, book a consultation today and explore your options!
As with any surgery, not everyone is a good candidate. Some eye diseases and conditions such as glaucoma, keratoconus, or dry eye disease might rule out certain types of laser eye surgery.
Your optometrist can work with you to determine the overall health of your eye. We’ll help you determine whether you have any underlying conditions that might preclude you from laser eye surgery.
It’s important to manage your expectations of laser eye surgery. While most patients report improved vision after their surgery, laser eye surgery does not guarantee perfect vision, and many people will still need glasses or contact lenses again eventually.
If you decide to go ahead with surgery, LMC Optometry provides co-management services. We’ll help with pre and post-operative care and ensure that you’re recovering according to plan.

Our optometrist at LMC can diagnose and manage conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and digital eye strain.
It’s recommended to have an eye exam in an eye clinic at least once every two years, or annually if you have existing eye conditions or risk factors.
For minor vision issues like 20/40 acuity, contacts are usually an effective choice for correction. Different lenses are available at LMC Optometry for different refractive errors.
Annual eye exams are completely covered by OHIP for children (19 and under) and seniors (65 and older). However, adults aged 20-64 must pay for routine eye exams themselves or use private insurance, as these exams are not covered by OHIP.
You can book an appointment online through the LMC Optometry website or by calling the specific location nearest to you.
