About Refractive Surgery

Dr. Bruce Cohen, an experienced LASIK surgeon serving St. Louis and Chesterfield, has helped patients resolve complex eye problems for years. He performs LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis) to surgically correct myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, and hyperopia (farsightedness). These procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, and are designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses in certain individuals. For more information about refractive surgery and to learn whether or not you would be a good candidate, either contact Cohen Eye Associates by email or call our office at (314) 226-1437.

Appointments

For routine office visits, Cohen Eye Associates advises that you call for an appointment three to four weeks in advance. If our patient load permits, we will work you into our schedule sooner. If you have an emergency, we will, of course, accommodate you as quickly as possible.

When you call to make your appointment, explain your vision concern. If you are having a specific problem, please describe it to the staff member on the phone so that the appropriate amount of time can be allotted for your visit.

When making an appointment with an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or LASIK surgeon at our Chesterfield or St. Louis office, please allow sufficient time in your schedule. Some appointments, such as complete exams and yearly checkups, require a minimum of one-and-a-half to two hours. This allows ample time for a thorough examination. We will ask you for a brief medical history, including any eye problems you may be having. We will also want to know about prior surgeries and about any medications you are currently taking.

Should you need to cancel an appointment, we ask that you notify us as far in advance as possible.
