Myopia, or Nearsightedness

Presbyopia

Hyperopia, or Farsightedness

Extreme Nearsightedness or Farsightedness

iLasik

ilasik is the world’s premium bladeless LASIK operation – the only one sanctioned by NASA.

Custom PRK

PRK is the best technology that currently exists to smoothly contour the surface of the cornea, offering superior visual outcomes for people with myopia and hyperopia.

Phakic Lens Implants (Cachet™)

Phakic Lens Implants is a simple eye treatment that produces miraculous results if you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s.

Refractive Lensectomy

Refractive Lensectomy is a operation for which Dr Blaylock is known worldwide, for those who have been turned down for laser eye surgery or phakic intraocular lens.

However, you may still be a candidate for:

Lasik

Lasik is one of the original refractive procedures where a steel bladed keratome is used. Lasik provides a reliable option at a lower cost than newer laser technologies.

PRK

PRK is the preferred sight correction operation for people with thin corneas or those whose lifestyle or profession puts them at risk of ocular injury.

The Restore Vision Procedure™

The latest technology and fast becoming the preferred refractive process for people with poor reading vision.

The Blaylock Procedure™

The Blaylock Procedure is a unique method of correcting distance, intermediate and near vision – all at once. Developed by Dr Blaylock himself.

Monovision

Monovision is a simple strategy using iLasik, PRK or Refractive Lensectomy to adjust your dominant eye for distance vision and your non-dominant eye for intermediate or near vision.

intraLasik

IntraLasik is a 100% bladeless operation and has exceptional rates of success.

Presbyoipa is rare for age group. However, you may be a special case with unique needs. Therefore, we strongly recommend an individual assessment in order to determine your surgical options.

Cataracts

Dr. Blaylock provides a wide range of cataract surgery options, either privately at VLEC or in the BC public health care system.

Keratoconus

We have a couple of options for you. We are the first centre in Western Canada providing:

Intacs

a state-of-the-art device that could dramatically change your quality of life.

Corneal Cross-linking

A safe and common procedure that can strengthen the cornea, improving effectiveness of Intac rings.

Glaucoma

You may be a candidate for any of our surgical options, but we need to assess the stability of your condition before we make a recommendation.

However, the practice we often perform in the treatment of glaucoma is:

iStents

An iStent is smart little device inserted during cataract surgery or Refractive lensectomy, to relieve the pressure build-up that causes glaucoma.
