The Kraff Eye Institute offers the most progressive technology in Refractive Surgery. Dr. Kraff uses the Johnson & Johnson VISX Star S4 IR Laser system to help deliver amazing results! This laser is FDA-approved, which means the technology has undergone rigorous testing to determine safety and effectiveness.
We turn away between 10% to 20% of consultations because they do not fall safely within treatable perimeters for surgery. Dr. Kraff’s main concern is always the safety of his patients and in order for him to recommend surgery, you will need to fall well within safety perimeters.
Dr. Kraff will be involved with your eye care every step of the way. We do offer patients the option of working with some of our affiliated optometrists throughout the Chicagoland area if that is more convenient for them. We also have optometrists in Indiana and Wisconsin that we arrange for you to work with. If a patient chooses to comanage with one of our outside doctors, that doctor will send your exam to Dr. Kraff for review.
