Vision for the Active Lifestyle — Custom PRK for the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Other Areas of the Caribbean

The U.S. Virgin Islands and the Caribbean as a whole are considered by many to be paradise on Earth, with a beautiful, tropical climate and many recreational opportunities on glistening turquoise waves and soft white sand. Residents of and visitors to our region enjoy spectacular scuba diving, sailing, skiing, swimming, snorkeling, bicycling, and a host of other water sports and beach activities. However, individuals who wear glasses or contacts may feel unable to fully participate in and enjoy these activities.

Conventional PRK and custom PRK at our practice helps those from the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, St. Martin, Anguilla, and other areas across the Caribbean, achieve freedom from glasses and content lenses while simultaneously enjoying the natural surroundings.

Safe, Proven Results

Both conventional and custom PRK have proven to be safe and effective procedures. They offer vision correction results that are equal to LASIK, without the risks and complications associated with creating a corneal incision.

In addition, conventional and custom PRK can be used to treat many patients who have thin corneas or large pupils, and therefore may not be good candidates for LASIK. If you are considering refractive surgery, our experience surgeon and staff serving those from the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other location around the Caribbean and the world, can help you determine which refractive surgery procedure is best for you.

I have an active lifestyle and spend a fair amount of time in the water. Sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving and wave surfing are an important part of my life. Whenever I would go out I had to worry about keeping the contact lenses on my eyes. Then while surfing one day, I met Dr. Biscoe who told me that I should stop by the office to see if I was a candidate for custom laser vision correction. Dr. Biscoe examined my eyes using the latest technology and he took a lot of time teaching me about the surgery and the potential risks and benefits. The procedure was painless, took only a few minutes and it has truly changed my life. Now I am free to enjoy the ocean without the handicap of poor vision. I would recommend Dr. Biscoe to anyone who is even considering refractive surgery.
