Schedule ConsultationLASIK surgery uses precision VISX laser technology. The laser reshapes your cornea in seconds. Light then focuses correctly, giving you sharp vision. This procedure treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Most people see clearly within 24 hours.
Bladeless All-Laser LASIK uses the Intralase system. Computer-guided lasers do all the work. No blade comes near your eye. This technology offers the highest level of precision available today.
Custom Wavefront-Guided LASIK with iDesign 2.0 goes even further. We create a detailed map of your unique eye structure. The system measures how light travels through your cornea. Treatment gets customized to fix your specific vision problems.
PRK works well for certain patients. Maybe you have thinner corneas. Perhaps you play sports where eye contact happens. PRK treats the cornea surface without making a flap. Recovery takes longer, but results last just as long.
Presbyopia makes reading harder as you age. Monovision LASIK can help reduce your need for reading glasses. We correct one eye for distance and one for close-up work. This isn't perfect for everyone, but many people love the freedom it provides.


Only ten centers nationwide participate in FDA clinical trials for new laser technology. We're one of them. This gives you access to innovations before they reach typical practices. You benefit from the newest advances in vision correction.
Dr. Kraff has 35+ years of experience. He performs hundreds of procedures every year. His membership in the American College of Ophthalmic Surgeons reflects his dedication. Medical experts explain how modern LASIK delivers outstanding outcomes. (1)
