In this ever-changing climate of health insurance, it can be frustrating to understand what kind of insurance you have, and if in fact, it will cover the office visits and procedures I provide.I do NOT accept any HMO insurance plans. HMO plans have a panel of providers you must choose from to receive covered services.

LASIK Systems Compared
Report
Although the skill and experience of the surgeon are the most significant factors affecting the outcome of your LASIK procedure, the surgeon's choice of LASIK system is also important. Dr. Winthrop upgraded his LASIK suite to the WaveLight EX500 with CONTOURA Vision eye-mapping to offer his patients the additional safety and efficacy this system provides.
What is LASIK
Report
LASIK stands for LASER assisted IN-SITU KERATOMILEUSIS and is a combination of two refractive procedures: Automated Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK) and Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK). This laser refractive surgery is capable of correcting a wide range of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopoia), and astigmatism.
Is LASIK Right for Me
Report
It goes without saying that everyone who relies on glasses or contacts would love to have natural 20/20 vision. LASIK has made that a reality for many people. The WaveLight EX500 with CONTOURA Vision eye-mapping expands the boundaries of candidacy for LASIK. With the largest optical zone available, WaveLight EX500 candidacy includes many patients who were previously told that their pupils were too large for LASIK.
