Welcome to Dougherty Laser Vision

Featured on Oprah, CBS Early Show, The Doctors on CBS, E! News, FOX, the Associated Press and TLC’s 10 Years Younger.

For more than two decades, Dougherty Laser Vision has brought the life-changing benefits of LASIK, ICL, Cataract, and other advanced eye surgery correction techniques to people who demand the highest quality care. Dr. Paul J. Dougherty, the Medical Director at Dougherty Laser Vision says, “The greatest personal benefit of Vision Correction Surgery is the joy and freedom to experience life’s moments as they happen, unencumbered by glasses or contact lenses.”

There are many different forms of vision correction surgery, and it is important to determine the best course of treatment for each specific situation.  At Dougherty Laser Vision, we treat the individual first and personalize our care to ensure each patient achieves his or her best-corrected vision. When a patient presents himself or herself as a potential candidate, the staff at Dougherty Laser Vision begins by conducting a few harmless non-invasive tests and a thorough eye examination.

After the examination and testing, Dr. Dougherty reviews the findings and recommends a proper course of treatment toward the best-corrected vision. It is important to note not everyone is a candidate for vision correction surgery and the Free Consultation is a great no cost way to determine if you are a candidate and what options are available to you..

At Dougherty Laser Vision, we offer the most advanced and complete range of vision correction surgery available.  We offer vision correction alternatives not always found or offered at other facilities. We offer LASIK, PRK, Implantable Contact Lenses, Lens Replacement, Cataract Surgery, and Cataract Surgery with a Refractive Laser Package.

LASIK is a great option for visually challenged individuals with prescriptions less than -8, with or without astigmatism.

PRK is an option for those who are not candidates for LASIK due to thin corneas. Both farsighted and nearsighted candidates can benefit from PRK and it is an excellent option for a patient seeking vision correction.

Implantable Contact Lenses are for the visually challenged individual with a prescription greater than -3 and up to as high as -23 without astigmatism.  Implantable Contacts for astigmatism will be available in the very near future in the United States.

Lens Replacement is a popular course of treatment for those ages 40+ who may not realize the long-term benefits of LASIK surgery and for those who may want to correct their vision for both distance and reading. The new multifocal IOLs make Lens Replacement a popular option for seeing at a distance while reducing the need for reading glasses.

Cataracts are not just in the elderly; they are a progressive and degenerative condition that may begin in the mid 40s.  Most do not realize the onset of cataracts and the impairments that accompanies it until after surgery, where colors become more vibrant and the world becomes brighter. If you suffer from night glare, have problems with night driving, or you see halos when looking at streetlights, it may be an indication as to the formation of cataracts. Single focal lenses can correct vision for distance while the new multifocal IOLs used in Lens Replacement correct vision in cataract patients for both distance and reading, where most patients rarely need glasses at all.   

Cataract Surgery with a Refractive Package is a popular option for Cataract surgery patients who want the new multifocal IOLs used in Lens Replacement with a combination of LASIK to ensure that each patient achieves their best-corrected vision.  

At Dougherty Laser Vision, we want you to have the clear vision to experience life’s moments naturally, without glasses or contacts.  If seeing is believing, then see for yourself by scheduling your Free Consultation today at our Los Angeles or Ventura County office.
