Refractive/Clear Lens Exchange
If you’re tired of juggling reading glasses for every close-up task, refractive lens exchange offers a permanent solution. One EyeCare LASIK replaces your aging natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens that restores youthful vision and prevents future cataracts. This ophthalmology procedure is ideal for patients over 50 with high refractive errors or presbyopia who want freedom from corrective eyewear.
Dr. Jennifer Wu uses precision laser technology to remove your natural lens and insert a customized IOL in just 20-30 minutes per eye. We offer premium lens options including the Clareon PanOptix Trifocal and RxSight LAL+ to match your lifestyle needs. Most patients achieve clear distance and near vision within weeks, with results that last a lifetime.
EVO ICL
Active individuals with high prescriptions or thin corneas often can’t get LASIK, leaving them stuck with daily contact lens hassles. The EVO ICL procedure places a biocompatible collamer lens behind your iris, correcting myopia up to -20.0D and astigmatism without removing corneal tissue. This reversible ophthalmology solution works beautifully for patients aged 21 to 45 who want visual freedom for sports and adventures.
Dr. Wu completes each eye in just 15-20 minutes through a micro-incision that requires minimal recovery time. At One EyeCare LASIK, we’ve seen patients return to activities within two days, with many experiencing immediate vision improvement. The invisible lens provides lasting correction while preserving your natural eye structure and reducing dry eye risks compared to laser procedures.
SMILE
Dr. Wu performs SMILE using California’s first Zeiss VM800 laser system, treating nearsightedness up to -10.00 diopters through a tiny corneal incision. This minimally invasive ophthalmology procedure reshapes your cornea without creating a flap, making it ideal for athletes and patients prone to dry eyes. One EyeCare LASIK offers this advanced alternative for patients over 22 with stable myopia or myopic astigmatism.
The entire SMILE procedure takes just minutes per eye using a single femtosecond laser to remove a small tissue disc called a lenticule. Most patients return to work the next day and experience less dryness than traditional LASIK due to reduced corneal nerve disruption. You’ll achieve lasting vision correction that frees you from daily dependence on glasses or contacts.
PRK
Thin corneas or contact sports participation often disqualify patients from LASIK, but PRK offers the same vision correction without creating a corneal flap. This ophthalmology procedure removes the epithelium layer before reshaping your cornea with laser precision in just 5-10 minutes per eye. We treat myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism for patients over 18 who need flap-free correction.
Dr. Wu completes the PRK procedure in approximately 15-20 minutes for both eyes, placing protective bandage lenses afterward to support healing. While recovery takes about a week compared to LASIK’s next-day return, patients at One EyeCare LASIK achieve permanent corneal reshaping and 20/20 vision or better. Most enjoy years of clear sight without glasses or contacts after the initial healing period.
Dry Eyes
Chronic eye irritation from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) requires more than temporary relief from artificial tears. We address the root causes of dry eyes using advanced drugless treatments like Lumenis IPL light therapy, BlephEx eyelid cleaning, and TearCare heat therapy. These ophthalmology solutions target inflammation and blocked oil glands to restore healthy tear production and lasting comfort.
Our comprehensive approach evaluates your unique triggers, whether from inflammation, blepharitis, or contact lens wear. One EyeCare LASIK provides customized treatment plans combining multiple therapies for optimal results, with most procedures taking just 15 minutes and no downtime required. Dr. Wu specializes in helping patients who haven’t found relief elsewhere achieve genuine improvement in their eye health.
Keratoconus
Progressive corneal thinning from Keratoconus causes distorted vision that glasses can’t fully correct, often requiring hard contact lenses. Corneal cross-linking strengthens your cornea by bonding collagen fibers with riboflavin and UVA light, stopping disease progression in over 95% of cases. This ophthalmology treatment takes 60-90 minutes and provides stability for 10+ years with proper monitoring.
Dr. Wu combines cross-linking with vision correction options like custom PRK, EVO ICL implantation, or CTAK tissue addition based on your corneal thickness and refractive needs. Patients at One EyeCare LASIK benefit from comprehensive treatment that halts progression while reducing contact lens dependence. Recovery requires one to two weeks, with complete visual stabilization achieved within 3-6 months.

FAQ for Vision Correction Surgery
How do I know if I'm a candidate for vision correction?
The best way to determine candidacy is through a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Wu evaluates your eye health, prescription, cornea thickness, and lifestyle needs. Many patients who’ve been told “no” elsewhere discover they’re actually candidates for one of the five vision correction procedures available. Dr. Wu specializes in finding solutions for complex cases, including those with dry eye, thin corneas, or previous eye surgery requiring advanced ophthalmology expertise.
What's the difference between LASIK and the other vision correction options?
LASIK is just one of five procedures available for correcting vision without glasses or contacts. SMILE offers a flapless alternative with less dry eye risk, PRK works for thin corneas, EVO ICL suits high prescriptions without removing corneal tissue, and refractive lens exchange addresses presbyopia for patients over 45. Dr. Wu evaluates which non-invasive laser treatments or surgical approach delivers the best results for your specific eyes and prescription.
Does Dr. Wu accept patients with cataracts who want advanced lens options?
Yes, Dr. Wu performs Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery using femtosecond laser technology and the ORA System for real-time surgical guidance. She offers multiple premium lens implants including multifocal and toric options to correct presbyopia and astigmatism simultaneously. Her expertise in ophthalmology and complex ophthalmic surgery means she accepts challenging cases other surgeons decline, including patients with previous refractive surgery or corneal conditions.
What happens if I have dry eyes along with my vision problems?
Dr. Wu addresses dry eyes before any vision correction procedure to ensure optimal healing and results. The practice offers three advanced treatments: Lumenis IPL for inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction, BlephEx for deep eyelid cleaning, and TearCare for heat therapy. Treating underlying dry eye conditions follows clinical practice guidelines and significantly improves both comfort and vision care outcomes after procedures.
How long does recovery take after vision correction procedures?
Recovery time varies by ophthalmology procedure type and your individual healing response. Most LASIK and SMILE patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days, while PRK requires about one week. Cataract surgery and lens procedures typically need 2-3 days before resuming light activities. Dr. Wu provides detailed aftercare instructions and personally checks on you the evening of your procedure to ensure your recovery progresses smoothly.
