LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at Manrique Custom Vision permanently reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using Blade-Free Z-LASIK technology, the procedure takes 10-15 seconds per eye with rapid recovery. Our board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Carlos Manrique, has performed over 73,000 vision correction procedures, ensuring precision and safety. Patients achieve freedom from glasses or contacts through this outpatient treatment.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision. As one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the U.S., our practice combines advanced techniques with personalized care. Using modern technology like refractive lens exchange, we address vision loss caused by cataracts while correcting pre-existing refractive errors for improved visual outcomes.
Visian ICL
Visian ICL provides a permanent solution for moderate to severe nearsightedness by implanting a collamer lens into the eye. This procedure is ideal for patients with thin corneas unsuitable for LASIK. At Manrique Custom Vision, we offer this FDA-approved treatment to correct vision between -3 to -20 diopters, delivering natural, high-quality vision without altering corneal tissue.
Intacs Corneal Implants
Intacs corneal implants reshape the cornea to correct vision impairments like keratoconus. These micro-thin rings are inserted into the cornea to improve its curvature, reducing dependency on glasses or contacts. Over 97% of patients achieve driver's license vision eligibility, with many experiencing vision better than 20/20 through this minimally invasive, maintenance-free procedure.
Advanced Surface Ablation
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) treats refractive errors by reshaping the cornea without creating a flap. This alternative to LASIK is ideal for patients with thin or irregular corneas. Using excimer laser technology, our specialists address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with precision, ensuring safe and effective vision correction for those who may not qualify for traditional LASIK procedures.

The staff is so welcoming and reassuring throughout all my questions, thank you all so much for making the entire experience feel safe. I had no discomfort at all the day of or the day after. Choosing Manrique Custom Vision and having the surgery done by Dr. Manrique for both my sister and I was the best choice we could have made!

Went in for Lasik yesterday and the process was quick, painless and today I can say I have 20/20 vision after needing glasses for 17 years. If you're thinking about getting Lasik, DO IT. The staff is extremely nice, genuine and so helpful. A huge thank you to Dr. Manrique, Beto, Sylvia, and Javier as well as all the other staff for being so amazing and for making this such a positive experience.

Amazing experience.the staff was very friendly and answered every question I had. Dr. Manrique was awesome and explained everything he was doing during the procedure. My vision one day post procedure is way better than how i could see with glasses on. Definitely recommend Dr. Manrique and his staff.

Thank you to Manrique custom vision! I got my lasik yesterday and I feel like nothing happened today lol. If you guys have been thinking of getting it done but are scared of pain. There is no pain. you do not feel anything during procedure and after numbing wears off it's literally only like if you poked your eye and light sensitivity. They say the price range is different for everyone depending on what they need. My price was 5,000 for mine. I cried when I woke up this morning because I was so use to not seeing because my vision was bad!
