When ophthalmologist Jeremy Kieval started medical school, he was fascinated with neurosurgery. Eyes - their anatomy, physiology, and diseases - were farthest from his mind.

But as he progressed in neuroscience, he found himself drawn to ophthalmology as well. "After all, the eye is really an extension of the brain,'' said Kieval, who practices at Lexington Eye Associates in Lexington.

Kieval, who has 20/20 vision, specializes in corneal transplants as well as laser vision correction, commonly called Lasik.

"The beauty of my work is being able to provide better vision to many patients,'' he said.

Lasik is a surgical laser procedure which helps reshape the cornea in order to more precisely focus light rays on the retina, leading to better vision.
What are some common questions patients have about laser vision correction?
They're worried about moving or shifting positions while the laser is working, but actually the speed and precision to which it molds the cornea is practically instantaneous. Also, people think it is a risk-free surgery, but like any surgery, it can have its limitations.
How much does it cost to have done?
In some businesses you'll see a $299 special, but in most reputable places, it is around $5,000 to have both eyes done.
Is there a lot of confusion about the three O's of eye care - the difference between ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians?
Yes. Ophthalmologists, like me, are physicians, or doctors of medicine; an optometrist is a primary eye care provider who often prescribes eyeglasses and contact lenses; an optician adjusts and fits optical products such as glasses.
What's next with laser surgery?
Like anything, technology is getting small and faster, making the laser even quicker. Cutting down on time can improve outcomes.
