Dr. Michael G. RichieRichie Eye Clinic | Ophthalmology & Optometry | Faribault and Northfield, MN
  • Dr. Michael Richie gave the group an overview of the new Lasik Center located at Richie Eye Clinic in Faribault
    • Dr. Richie spoke about the minimal risks associated with Lasik as well as the benefits
  • Dr. Richie discussed the differences with PRK and Lasik
    • One involves making a flap over the cornea
      • The flap acts a band aid for the eye
  • PRK is basically Lasik w/o the flap
    • Healing time is longer with PRK
  • Best part of the presentation was the fact Lasik can be performed right here in Faribault, w/o driving to the Twin Cities
