Q:
Can I come to BVA for regular eye exams?
A: If you have a trusted family optometrist, we recommend
you continue to see that doctor for your regular eye exams.
He or she is especially trained to monitor your eye health
and will make a referral to BVA for any needed medical or
surgical eye condition. If you don’t have a trusted
family optometrist, we can help you find a good doctor near
your home or work. If you have already been diagnosed with
a medical or surgical eye problem and are seeking a second
opinion or you have been referred to BVA from a friend or
family member, you are welcome to make an appointment for
a consultation with a BVA doctor without an outside doctor’s
referral.
Q:
Does BVA prescribe glasses and contacts?
A: No, we recommend you see your optometrist for glasses and
contacts. If you currently do not have an optometrist, we
can refer you to a eye doctor near your home or work.
Q:
What is a cataract?
A: A cataract
is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. As we age, the
lens becomes clouded and vision becomes blurred. Colors also
appear less brilliant and daily activities like reading, driving
and working with your hands may become difficult. If we live
long enough, everyone will develop cataracts. Click

Q:
How are cataracts treated?
A: BVA specializes in advanced, no-shot, no-stitch, no-patch
cataract surgery. In this out-patient procedure, the surgeon
removes the clouded lens, or cataract, and replaces it with
a manufactured intra-ocular lens. This procedure requires
no hospital stay for most patients and no eye patch is required.
Most patients experience clearer vision immediately following
the surgery and vision continues to improve over the next
several days. The vision and Lasik surgeons at BVA have performed thousands
of cataract procedures with excellent results.
Q:
I have heard that LASIK can eliminate my need for glasses
or contacts. Can LASIK treat nearsightedness and farsightedness?
What about astigmatism?
A: LASIK, is Laser-Assisted
Vision Correction and can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness
and astigmatism. The surgeons at BVA are among the most experienced
LASIK surgeons in Oklahoma having performed thousands of procedures.
Our doctors work in partnership with TLCVision Laser Eye Centers
in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Click

Q:
What’s CK?
A: CK, Conductive Keratoplasty,
is an FDA-approved refractive procedure that uses radio waves
to gently steepen the cornea resulting in more powerful reading
vision. Especially popular among “Baby Boomers”
who want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on reading
glasses, CK takes just a few minutes, is performed in the
office, does NOT use a laser, removes NO tissues and involves
NO cutting. Click here for more information
on CK.

Where is the nearest BVA office to me?

no down payments. Of course, you’ll be asked to complete
a credit application. With approved credit, we can tailor-make

upfront fees keep you from having the vision or appearance
you desire.
