Does Your Child Have ADD?

Simple testing can be done in minutes to find out if your child may have a visually related attention problem. Even the most experienced professionals, including other doctors and educators, either misinterpret or lack experience in such areas. These children usually school screen at 20/20! We have helped many children to significantly enhance attention and concentration using special eyeglass prescriptions without medications. Rule out these problems early on before someone labels your child!

Three Steps to Laser Sight Correction PRK and LASIK

Many patients have literally changed their life by reducing or eliminating the need for eyeglasses. Is PRK or LASIK right for you?

  1. Get your eyes examined at our office. This includes a "mapping" of your cornea. Contact lenses must be off for at least 2 weeks prior to this exam.
  2. If you are a candidate, we'll discuss your options.
  3. An associate eye surgeon will perform the procedure. This is done on an outpatient basis on Fridays.

Dr. Kurtin provides the required exam, sets the post-operative treatment regimen and long term care.
