Our Daly City clinic is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and cutting-edge laser technology, allowing us to customize your treatment plan based on your unique eye structure and prescription.

Our All Laser LASIK procedure is performed using the latest bladeless technology, offering faster recovery times, less discomfort, and long-lasting results. Dr. Hyver personally performs all LASIK surgeries, ensuring precision and the best possible outcome.

Benefits: Quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and freedom from glasses or contacts.

SMILE Vision is a highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure for correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism. Using the ZEISS Visumax femtosecond laser, this procedure requires no flap and involves a smaller incision, leading to faster healing and less discomfort compared to traditional LASIK.

Benefits: Faster recovery, reduced risk of dry eyes, and no flap created.

PRK is an excellent solution for patients who may not be candidates for LASIK. This procedure reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors. Unlike LASIK, PRK does not require a corneal flap, making it a better option for patients with thin corneas or those with certain eye health conditions.

Benefits: Ideal for patients with thin corneas, effective for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

EVO ICL is a revolutionary vision correction solution for people with high prescriptions or thin corneas. This procedure involves implanting a Collamer lens inside the eye to correct refractive errors without removing tissue, offering an excellent alternative to LASIK.

Benefits: Ideal for high prescriptions, safe for those with thin corneas, and provides sharp, clear vision.

Contoura LASIK is a customized LASIK procedure that uses topography-guided technology to map the cornea with high precision. This allows us to address even the most complex refractive errors and tailor the treatment for the best possible vision outcomes.

Benefits: Highly personalized, optimized for patients with complex prescriptions, and provides the best possible vision quality.

Monovision LASIK is designed for patients over 40 who need both near and distance vision correction. It involves correcting one eye for distance and the other for near vision, providing a solution to presbyopia (the need for reading glasses).

Benefits: Reduces or eliminates the need for reading glasses, ideal for presbyopia patients.

RLE is a great option for patients over 40 or those with cataracts. The procedure replaces the natural lens with a customized intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors and restore clear vision.

Benefits: Ideal for patients over 40, cataract treatment, and provides a lasting vision solution.

Why Choose Laser Vision Correction?

At ScottHyver Visioncare, we believe that everyone deserves to experience the freedom and convenience of clear vision. Laser vision correction procedures like LASIK, SMILE, PRK, and EVO ICL offer a range of benefits, including:

Freedom from Glasses and Contacts

The most significant benefit of laser vision correction is the freedom it offers from glasses and contact lenses. Whether you’ve been wearing glasses for years or are tired of the hassle of contact lenses, vision correction procedures can help you see clearly without the need for corrective eyewear.

Quick Recovery Time

One of the advantages of modern laser vision correction procedures, especially SMILE and All Laser LASIK, is the quick recovery time. Most patients experience improved vision within 24 to 48 hours and can return to regular activities in a few days.

Improved Quality of Life

Clear vision allows you to fully engage in all aspects of your life without worrying about the discomfort or limitations of glasses and contacts. Whether you’re enjoying outdoor activities, sports, or simply reading a book, improved vision enhances your overall quality of life.

Long-lasting Results

With LASIK, SMILE, and PRK, patients often experience long-lasting results, with most enjoying clearer vision for years after the procedure. While some patients may require an enhancement years later, most people find that their vision is stable and clear after initial treatment.

Safe and Effective

These procedures are safe and FDA-approved, with Dr. Hyver using the most advanced laser technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes. The procedures are designed to minimize risks and provide precision results for each patient.

Scotthyver Approach to Vision Care Solution as You Age

Ages 18-45 | Adult Vision

In young adulthood, your eyes are typically at their healthiest, and vision correction procedures like LASIK, SMILE, and EVO ICL offer excellent outcomes for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. These procedures offer lasting clarity and freedom from glasses or contact lenses, empowering you to live life without the hassle of corrective eyewear. We specialize in Wavefront-Optimized “All Laser” LASIK, SMILE, and EVO ICL, providing precision vision correction that fits your lifestyle.

Ages 45-60 | Presbyopia And Aging Eyes

As we reach our mid-40s and beyond, the lens of the eye begins to lose flexibility, resulting in presbyopia, which can make reading or focusing on close objects more difficult. At ScottHyver Visioncare, we offer Monovision LASIK and Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) to address these changes. These treatments help restore near vision while maintaining clear distance vision, reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses.

Ages 60+ | Cataracts And Senior Vision

As we age, cataracts can form, clouding the lens and causing blurry vision, particularly at night. Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures for seniors, and it involves replacing the cloudy lens with a clear, customized IOL (Intraocular Lens). This procedure not only restores clarity but also improves overall vision, with many patients achieving enhanced night vision and better contrast. We use state-of-the-art technology to perform cataract surgery, ensuring the safest and most effective results for our senior patients.

At ScottHyver Visioncare, We believe that everyone deserves to experience life with a clear vision, no matter their age. Our team offers customized solutions for every stage of life, from LASIK for young adults to Refractive Lens Exchange for seniors. Whether you’re in your 20s or 60s, we have the expertise and technology to help you achieve your vision goals.

What is LASIK, and how does it work?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and effective surgery that reshapes the cornea using a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires minimal recovery time, allowing many patients to experience improved vision within 24 hours.

What is the difference between LASIK and SMILE?

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a newer, minimally invasive procedure that offers many of the same benefits as LASIK but with a smaller incision. SMILE is often preferred for patients who may be at higher risk of dry eye or who want a less invasive procedure with faster recovery.

Am I a candidate for LASIK?

The ideal candidate for LASIK is someone over 18 with stable vision, healthy eyes, and no history of serious eye conditions. During your consultation, we will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if LASIK or another procedure is right for you.

How long does it take to recover from LASIK?

Most LASIK patients experience improved vision within 24 to 48 hours. You can usually return to work and regular activities within 2 to 3 days, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and swimming for a few weeks.

What are the costs of LASIK or SMILE eye surgery in Daly City?

The cost of LASIK or SMILE eye surgery in Daly City depends on the specific procedure, your treatment plan, and any additional care required. At ScottHyver Visioncare, we offer affordable financing options like CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit to make treatment more accessible.

Can LASIK correct my astigmatism?

Yes! LASIK is effective for correcting astigmatism by reshaping the cornea to improve how light enters the eye, providing clearer, sharper vision without the need for corrective lenses.

What is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)?

Refractive Lens Exchange is a procedure for people over 40 or those with cataracts. It replaces the natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors and improve vision, especially for patients who are not candidates for LASIK.

How do I know which procedure is right for me?

At your free consultation, we will perform a detailed eye exam, including corneal imaging and vision tests, to determine the best procedure for your eyes. Dr. Scott Hyver and our team will discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you may have.
