"Before laser vision correction, I had trouble seeing the ball. Thanks to Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute, my hitting and fielding are better than ever."

We perform LASIK surgery using the newest technology – the excimer laser system. This system, which incorporates the most advanced WaveFront technology, allows our surgeons to create a customized treatment for each patient.
Cole Eye Institute also includes IntraLase, an all-laser LASIK procedure in which the "corneal flap" is created by a laser instead of a blade. The use of Custom WaveFront technology in combination with IntraLase provides extremely safe and precise refractive surgery. In addition to LASIK, Cole Eye Institute surgeons offer PRK for refractive surgery.
With all of the cutting-edge laser vision correction options available, our Cole Eye Institute team helps patients determine which surgery is right for them. All patients undergo a comprehensive screening process and only those candidates who are expected to have excellent outcomes are recommended for surgery. This conservative approach to patient care ensures the best result for each patient's vision.
