Laser Vision Correction (LASIK and PRK)

Our laser vision correction specialists combine cutting-edge technology with personalized care to help you achieve your clearest sight—whether you're considering LASIK, PRK, or other advanced treatments.

As part of Flaum Eye Institute, our team brings world-class expertise close to home, so you can trust you're in expert hands every step of the way.

Evaluation

We begin with a thorough eye exam to determine if laser vision correction is right for you. Our specialists assess your eye health, corneal thickness, prescription stability, and lifestyle needs to recommend the best approach.

Procedure

Most laser vision correction procedures take less than 30 minutes. You'll be awake but comfortable, and many patients notice improved vision immediately.

Recovery & Follow-Up

We're with you every step of the way. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing and results.

Our Surgeons

At University of Rochester Medicine Flaum Eye Institute, LASIK and other vision correction surgeries are performed by experienced refractive surgeons who focus on patient safety and long-term vision outcomes. Our team offers advanced training, years of experience in laser vision correction, and a patient-centered approach—so you can feel confident in every step of your treatment.

Results

Because of our dedication to precision and our continual pursuit of technological improvements, our outcomes are among the best in the world. As verified through peer-reviewed meeting abstracts of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the European Society of Refractive Surgeons, our patients achieve 20/20 or better vision 99.3% of the time.

Personalized Treatment

While many providers offer a "one size fits all" approach to laser vision correction, Flaum Eye Institute customizes every procedure to best fit each individual—sometimes using multiple laser platforms for the same patient. We do this to get the best possible outcomes and to ensure patient safety.

Technology

We have the largest collection of testing and treatment technology of any provider in the Rochester metropolitan area and surrounding region. This allows us to determine if you’re a good candidate for LASIK, so that you can avoid any uncertainty you might feel in less capable hands.

We use this technology to double-check, triple-check or even quadruple-check your eyes and vision before recommending a treatment plan. From here, we use three laser platforms, mixing and matching them to give you the clearest vision and best results.

Exclusive Software

As a technology development center, we developed the Rochester Nomogram. A nomogram is a complex formula that enhances vision correction by combining multiple variables that will affect how you see.

Our technology was patented, licensed to Bausch + Lomb, and is now used worldwide. It remains a gold standard for customized laser vision correction. Since then, we’ve improved this formula. But we have not licensed it. The ROCHESTER NOMOGRAM II is exclusively available at URochester Medicine.
