What is LASIK eye surgery?
LASIK eye surgery actually stands for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. LASIK is a refractive eye surgery procedure where a laser reshapes the outer surface of the eye known as the cornea. By changing the shape of the cornea doctors can improve vision.

What is a Cataract?
A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally transparent lens of the eye. As the opacity thickens, it prevents light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina, the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. Early lens changes or opacities may not disturb vision. But as the lens continues to change, several specific symptoms including blurred vision; sensitivity to light and glare; increased nearsightedness; or distorted images in either eye, may develop.

First positive impressions are lasting positive impressions. When I met Dr. Paul S. Riske at Wake Trauma Center on May 18, 2011, I knew I was in the hand s of a very competent and caring doctor. His clam mannerisms and professional attitude conveyed these attributes. My feelings of complete wellness of my injury were felt from my very first encounter with him. His Office Assistants, Jen and Tracey, added to my assurance of recovery. My follow-up treatments with Dr. Riske were less traumatic because of their concern for me personally.
My family and I will be eternally grateful for the effectual medical service I have witnessed as a patient of Dr. Paul S. Riske.

Toric Lens
I am so very grateful to Dr. Laber and his staff at Raleigh Ophthalmology. The Toric Lens gave me joy and sight from the moment Dr. Laber took the eye patch off after surgery. It was like a miracle. I am so very happy that I choose the Toric Lens. I would recommend it to everyone having cataract surgery. Thank you Dr. Laber and the Toric Lens. Having my sight restored was like a miracle.
The service I received could not have been better - it was excellent!
