Laser Vision Correction
iLASIK is the ultimate in laser vision correction. It is the culmination of everything we have learned about LASIK over the past decade. iLASIK is the all-laser, blade-free method for 100% customizable laser vision correction. Now that the iLASIK procedure is available, there is no reason to put off having laser vision correction surgery! Why?
- Most people are candidates! We offer FREE refractive evaluations to assess your candidacy.
- iLASIK technology is the most advanced and innovative technique. It is also the safest and most effective laser vision correction available.
- The iLASIK procedure is quick, uncomplicated, and patients experience minimal discomfort.
iLASIK is the only vision correction surgery approved for military aviators and NASA astronauts. If it’s good enough for pilots and astronauts, then it’s good enough for those of us who are earthbound!

Dr. Boomer was the first iLASIK provider in Kansas. We are board-certified ophthalmologists, and have performed over 9,000 laser vision correction procedures.

PRK Surgery
(Photorefractive Keratectomy)
PRK surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an alternative laser vision correction procedure that produces excellent results. PRK uses the same laser treatment as LASIK surgery, except no corneal flap is needed. Instead, the thin outer skin layer of the cornea is removed and a customized laser treatment is applied to the surface. The skin layer regenerates itself over a few days. There can be more discomfort and a longer recovery period with PRK; however, some patients are not good LASIK candidates. PRK surgery is sometimes the safer option and with the same visual results as LASIK.
If you have been told in the past that you are not a good candidate for LASIK, please contact Vision Surgery Consultants to schedule a free refractive evaluation at our Wichita office. Our eye surgeons and staff look forward to discussing your PRK candidacy!

97% of mild-to-moderately nearsighted patients achieved 20/20 vision or better with the iLASIK procedure.

PRK Surgery
What is PRK, and who is it for?
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is an alternative to LASIK for patients who aren’t good candidates for LASIK. It uses the same laser treatment but removes the thin outer layer of the cornea rather than creating a flap. The skin regenerates within a few days.
Does PRK produce the same results as LASIK?
PRK achieves the same visual outcomes as LASIK. Recovery may take a bit longer, and there can be more initial discomfort, but it is an excellent option for the right patient
I was told I’m not a candidate for LASIK. Does that mean I can’t have laser vision correction?
Not necessarily. We encourage you to schedule a free refractive evaluation with us. PRK may be a safe and effective alternative for you.
