Every Eye is Unique
Your age and unique eye anatomy determine your solution:
For people with clear vision, the cornea and lens bend light so it focuses properly on the retina.
Nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism are the result of irregularities in the shape of the eye’s cornea, resulting in blurred or distorted images. Each of these issues can be fixed by vision correction.

Which Procedure is Right for You
Choosing Sight Without Glasses is a life-changing event. We know you have many questions, so we created this procedure overview guide to help.
Procedures Based on Age
LASIK and its Alternatives
for Nearsightedness, Farsightedness & Astigmatism
1. SMILE LASIK
SMILE (Small Incision LASIK) is performed with one of the same lasers used for LASIK but with a different technique that leaves the surface of the cornea almost untouched. Because this technique does not require a “flap”, it results in a quicker recovery and maximum comfort. SMILE is perfect for people who are active, practice contact sports, or are simply looking for a gentler LASIK alternative. ClearSight is currently the only center in Oklahoma that offers this treatment.
2. Customized All-Laser LASIK
This is the treatment most often recommended for people within this age range. It is safe, gentle, and the results are proven. It is also the treatment ClearSight has spent over 25 years perfecting, and the first ever vision treatment with a written money-back guarantee!
3. EVO Visian ICL
The EVO Visian ICL is an advanced vision correction treatment for patients with moderate to high nearsightedness. Often, patients who have been told that they are not candidates for laser vision correction make ideal EVO Visian ICL recipients. Some of the benefits of EVO ICL are quick healing time and fast visual stabilization. EVO Visian ICL provides some of the highest quality results possible (highest rate of results better than 20/20).
4. ASA (Advanced PRK)
ASA, or Advanced PRK, is a LASIK alternative that is often recommended for patients with thin corneas or specific occupations. The main difference with PRK is that no flap is created. Instead, the excimer laser reshapes the outer surface of the eye to correct your prescription. Although this makes the recovery time longer, the end results are as good as LASIK.
Custom Lens Replacement (Most Common)
for Near Vision, Far Vision, and Astigmatism
Custom Lens Replacement is a procedure where we replace the presbyopic lens of the eye with a clear, technologically advanced lens. It has become the most popular option at 43Vision because it can address many different vision issues. It treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia – reducing or eliminating the need for readers and bifocals. It also prevents future cataract development, so there will be no need for cataract surgery down the road!
Blended LASIK
for Nearsightedness and/or Astigmatism
For nearsighted patients who are not yet ready for Custom Lens Replacement, Blended LASIK can be quite effective. It is safe, gentle, and the results are proven. For this procedure, one eye is corrected to see things up close and the other to see at distance. Your brain will use the information from both eyes to create a clear and complete image.

LASIK after Cataract Surgery
for Freedom from Glasses after Cataract Removal
Having cataracts removed is necessary in order to keep your vision clear and colorful, but after treatment your eyes can still have nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is safe and gentle, and can help reduce your dependence on glasses. It is also the treatment we have spent the past 25-plus years perfecting.
