A Harvard MD, Board-certified ophthalmologist, a fellowship-trained corneal refractive surgeon, the San Francisco 49ers eye doctor, and with more than 20 years of experience specializing exclusively in laser vision correction, Dr. Scott Hyver is dedicated to giving his patients the visual results they deserve.
Dr. Hyver is extensively involved in all phases of your pre-operative care, from meeting with you at the consultation to analyzing your prescription and corneal imaging data to formulating your surgical plan. Not all laser eye surgeons are so comprehensively invested in the patient’s pre-op care, but we believe that investment can pay-off in a superior visual outcome.
“All-Laser” LASIK offers several advantages over traditional LASIK procedures that use a blade. Thanks to femtosecond technology, one of those advantages is that “All Laser” LASIK employs a femtosecond laser to create the LASIK corneal flap, which is the first step in the “All Laser” LASIK procedure. By using a laser rather than a mechanical keratome (i.e., a surgical blade) to produce the flap, surgeons are able to better control the quality of the flap without exposing the patient to the unique risks associated with using the mechanical keratome. In using a laser to create the flap and wavefront-optimized techniques to correct the patient’s vision error, “All Laser” LASIK gives patients a chance to see equal to or potentially better than their glasses and contact lenses.
Because the vision needs of our patients are not all alike, we offer a spectrum of advanced treatment solutions, including Wavefront-Optimized “All Laser” LASIK, SMILE vision correction, Customized PRK, EVO ICL, and Contoura topography-guided LASIK. Not all practices offer such a broad array of vision solutions, but we think Dr. Hyver should have the freedom to choose the treatment solution that’s right for you.

Keeping up with the rapid pace of technical change in the laser vision correction market can be expensive, so some practices may continue to rely on older technology to save money. Dr. Hyver, however, believes that the cost of maintaining a state-of-the-art diagnostic and laser treatment infrastructure is more than justified in the safety and performance advantages it offers our patients.
