See Clearly Through Every Stage of Life
Your vision needs evolve as you age, and Southern Eye Group is here to support your sight every step of the way. With expertise in the three key phases of visual development, we offer advanced treatments and personalized care to help you enjoy clear vision—often without the need for glasses or contacts—no matter your age.
AGE
18-45LASIK & Vision Correction
If you’re between 18 and 45 and want freedom from glasses or contacts, LASIK and PRK offer long-term correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. These laser vision correction procedures are quick, effective, and designed to fit your active lifestyle.
40+Reading & Near Vision Correction
Struggling with reading glasses? Around age 40, many people develop presbyopia, making near vision tasks more difficult. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) offers an advanced option that can help reduce or eliminate your dependence on readers and restore clear, comfortable vision.
60+Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a common part of aging, but they don’t have to slow you down. Cataract surgery replaces your clouded natural lens with a clear artificial one—often improving both clarity and range of vision. Premium lens options including the Light Adjustable Lens™ can also reduce your reliance on glasses after surgery.
