The TLC Laser Eye Centers in the Washington, D.C. metro area offer conventional, Custom and bladeless LASIK. TLC has centers in Washington, D.C., Maryland (Columbia, Gaithersburg and Rockville) and Virginia (Gainesville, Reston, Sterling and Tysons Corner).
Conventional LASIK is the most common type of laser vision correction and has proven to be extremely effective for the correction of conventional refractive errors. However, some patients choose Custom LASIK, which uses wavefront-guided technology. Each patient's eye curvature is unique and serves like an "eye fingerprint." During Custom LASIK, precise measurements are taken in order to create a map of the cornea. The surgeon then uses this individualized map to perform a LASIK procedure that is tailored to the patient.

TLC is one of the few centers in the Washington, D.C. area to offer bladeless LASIK. In lieu of a blade, this popular procedure uses a computer-guided laser to create the corneal flap. Drs. Andrew Holzman, Mark Whitten, Edward Perraut and the TLC Laser Eye Centers' staff meticulously evaluate each patient to determine the best option for laser vision correction surgery.
To find out if you are a good LASIK candidate, schedule a free evaluation by calling TLC Laser Eye Centers at (888) TLC-2020, or book online at www.LASIK.com.
