Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, corrects your vision by reshaping your cornea to remove microscopic amounts of tissue. Traditional and laser cataract surgery are advanced optometry procedures that treat cataracts and can prevent your eventual blindness.

Ambulatory Surgery Center
Report
In our Ambulatory Surgery Center, we provide same-day surgical care for our patients. It's a more convenient alternative for outpatient procedures compared with hospital-based outpatient procedures. It's also easier for us to schedule procedures and apply the quality control that is needed for our ophthalmology practice. Call today to schedule an appointment.
LASIK Procedure
Report
If you are a candidate, your first step is to come in for a complete eye exam. You must be free of contact lenses for at least one week for soft contacts and at least four weeks for hard lenses before your exam. During your exam we will carefully measure your prescription before and after we dilate your eyes and examine your eyes to make sure they are healthy.
Lasik Faq
Report
There is little or no discomfort associated with the LASIK procedure. However, your eyes may feel scratchy, and water excessively, for a few hours after surgery. Utilizing the Victus laser, a silent, tiny, laser light beam passes through the layers of the cornea to the exact depth within the corneal layers to make the flap.
LASIK Eye Surgery Cost
Report
The cost of LASIK eye surgery varies depending on the clinic and the type of surgery performed. Keep in mind that money spent on LASIK eye surgery is tax-deductible. At Minnesota Eye Institute, our LASIK surgery is "all-laser LASIK" meaning we use the laser for both cutting the flap and for shaping the corneal tissue to correct the vision.
