Clara Vision · Refractive Surgery · Austin, TX
Bladeless, wavefront-guided LASIK with Dr. Naomi Vance, MD. Twelve seconds of laser per eye. Below is a nearsighted eye — drag it into focus and watch the acuity climb. That climb is the one we make in the suite.
The eval is genuinely free, no obligation — and about 1 in 5 people who come in aren't good candidates. If that's you, we'll say so plainly.
Live optical model · Uncorrected — this is roughly what a −4.25 myope sees unaided.

The procedure
You are awake the whole time and it is genuinely quick. What follows is exactly what happens, in the order it happens — no surprises on the day.
We measure the cornea to within a thousandth of a millimetre with Scheimpflug topography and a wavefront scan — a fingerprint of every tiny aberration in how you focus.
A bladeless femtosecond laser lifts a thin flap; a second laser reshapes the tissue beneath in about twelve seconds per eye, guided by your wavefront map. You feel light pressure, not pain.
The flap self-seals in minutes — no stitches. Most patients notice a sharp jump in clarity within hours and are near 20/20 by the next morning. You drive yourself to the one-day check.
Candidacy
Toggle what's true for you. This is a rough screen, not a diagnosis — the real answer comes from your measurements at the eval. But it's an honest first read.
The surgeon
Board-certified ophthalmologist, fellowship-trained in cornea and refractive surgery. She performs every procedure at Clara Vision herself — no rotating roster, no hand-offs. The person who maps your eye is the person who treats it.
"I turn away patients every week because LASIK isn't right for their eyes. That's not lost business — that's the whole job. The surgery is easy; the judgment is the part you're paying for."
One patient
“I ride at dawn. For fifteen years the first thing I did every day was fumble for glasses that were already fogged. Two weeks after Clara, I woke up and read the clock across the room. I actually laughed. I keep an empty contact case on my desk to remind myself it's over.”
Financing
All-inclusive: mapping, both eyes, the procedure, and a full year of follow-up visits. No per-visit surprises, no upsell in the chair.
