Laser Refractive Surgery
Dr. Greer is pleased to offer the advanced LASIK refractive surgery at the Center for Better Vision. This in-office procedure is performed under topical anesthesia. Dr. Greer uses a small microkeratome to make a hinged flap in the clear cornea of the eye. Underneath this flap the blue excimer laser is used to precisely sculpt the cornea and give it a new shape. This new shape refocuses the light entering your eye so that you may see more clearly without the aid of glasses or contact lenses. The original flap is then laid back into place without the need for stitches. The unique biomechanical properties of the cornea allow the flap to stay in place on its own while it heals. Because the original flap is put back into place there is little to no discomfort or pain and the healing time is very rapid. Many patients see very well the following day.
Dr. Greer has achieved a high level of success helping his patients enjoy enhanced vision and a higher quality of life. In fact, Dr. Greer was named Best in Refractive Surgery by the Arkansas Times. Dr. Greer is a Laser Vision Center affiliated surgeon.
Truly Personalized Vision Correction
Dr. Greer uses the CustomVue WaveScan Wavefront System that provides a personalized, custom LASIK treatment by detecting and treating the subtle characteristics that are unique to your eyes. This treatment enhances the potential for you to achieve an even higher quality of vision.
Other refractive surgery centers may charge an additional fee for custom LASIK. Dr. Greer includes this technology in your treatment plan at no additional cost.
Testimonials
The response of our patients has been rewarding. Listed below are some examples of how LASIK has enhanced our patients lives. Individual results may vary.
Dr. Jeff Evans, M.D.
Orthopedic Surgeon
I began wearing glasses and contact lenses at age thirteen. I underwent the LASIK procedure by Dr. Greer in May of 2000, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. My contact lenses were becoming more difficult to wear and this made the LASIK procedure very attractive. The process was very easy and practically pain free. I awoke the next morning without corrective lenses and I was able to see the alarm clock for the first time in twenty-six years. Two days later, I participated in a golf tournament and my team finished in second place. As an orthopedic surgeon, I rely on clear vision to provide the quality care my patients deserve. The LASIK procedure allows me to do that.
Thank you,
Jeff Evans, M.D.

Bass Fisherman
I'm a professional Bass Angler who has worn glasses for more than 20 years. Glasses can be very troublesome out in the weather. Rain, mist, fog and cold weather really created problems for me while wearing glasses. I couldn't wear contact lenses because of my astigmatism.
After 20 years, I decided to trust Dr. Greer and undergo LASIK eye surgery. Dr. Greer corrected my vision to 20/20, even with my astigmatism. One week following my LASIK surgery, I won a World Championship Fishing event pocketing $75,000. I finally could see without my glasses. Thanks to Dr. Greer, I can see bass better than ever.
Bass Wishes,

College Athlete
I can't believe how much I suffered because of poor eyesight but I can't imagine my life without athletics. I began playing organized sports when I was only five years old. At the age of seven, I was told that I would have to wear glasses because of my nearsightedness.
I played softball, basketball, volleyball, and ran track throughout my junior and senior high school years. I had to deal with the dust, the rain, the smudges, the pain, and numerous eye infections. I was always so envious of the players with good eyesight.
I went on to college on an athletic scholarship.My optometrist told me that I needed to consider laser surgery. Everyone who knew how much I loved athletics said,"Go for it!"
"I was reluctant until I met Dr. Greer. Following my first visit with Dr. Greer I could hardly wait for the surgery. The day after my surgery I told my family that it was a "miracle." I never dreamed that I would ever be able to see so clearly. Every morning when I awaken I am so thankful that I can see so well. It's still hard to believe!I want to go back in time and "do over" the games I couldn't see the ball. I encourage you to call Dr. Greer and experience this modern day miracle.
Seeing 20/20,
Jamee Hatchett
