Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This permanent solution offers quick recovery and eliminates daily reliance on glasses or contacts. Our advanced technology ensures precise results with enhanced safety compared to contact lens use.
SMILE Eye Surgery
SMILE corrects vision through a small incision that removes corneal tissue. Ideal for patients not suited for LASIK, this procedure offers faster healing with comparable visual outcomes. It effectively treats myopia and astigmatism with minimal postoperative discomfort.
EVO ICL
EVO ICL provides vision correction through a removable lens implant. This alternative to laser procedures treats moderate to severe nearsightedness. The reversible treatment preserves natural eye anatomy while delivering excellent visual quality for patients seeking non-surgical permanence.
Refractive Lens Exchange
RLE replaces the eye's natural lens with an advanced implant to correct vision. This procedure addresses presbyopia and prevents future cataract development. Customizable lens options improve near and distance vision while reducing dependency on reading glasses.
Laser Cataract Surgery
Our blade-free cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and implants advanced technology intraocular lenses. This treatment restores clear vision, reduces glare, and enhances color perception. The procedure effectively addresses age-related cataracts while correcting existing refractive errors.

I had my lens replacement surgery today and what an excellent experience! The whole staff is welcoming and so helpful! They make you feel comfortable the entire process and Dr. Kugler is wonderful. He takes his time to explain everything and makes it easy to trust him. It's amazing to see this clearly for the first time in my life. so happy I did it!

If I could give them more stars I would. Excellent staff with kind hearts. The building is beautiful and very clean. Surgery day was very relaxing (loved the massage chair!) and virtually painless. I was in and out in barely over an hour. Dr. Kugler himself called me that night to check in. That's what stands them apart from others. Highly recommend!

Very quick and efficient procedure! Each step was explained thoroughly and aftercare instructions were given beforehand. A word of caution if you aren't used to severe dry eyes or what that feels like then now you know to prepare yourself. Use all the eye drops they give you and be generous with them! Dr Kugler even called me later in the evening to see how I was and I think that is amazing to do! I would definitely recommend them if you are considering LASIK

I had a very good experience at Kugler Vision. Their office is so calming. No one wants to have surgery especially your eyes. They made the last 7 month experience quite remarkable. I must say for a Dr office the staff was amazing, friendly, and very helpful. Dr Kugler and Dr Davison are two of the best. Getting a call at home in the evening after surgery was was so comforting that so made the right choice for my eye care. Thanks everyone.

I recently finished cataract surgery on both eyes with Kugler Vision and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I was treated professionally beginning with their thorough testing as well as the days of surgery and followup. I researched the process and was tested by another provider finding Kugler Vision to have the most advanced equipment, technology and most importantly knowledgable physicians and assistants. Without hesitation, I am glad I trusted them with my eye care.

I did a LOT of research before making a consultation appointment with Kugler. It was clear to me during that first visit that Kugler Vision was the right choice. From start to finish the process was extremely smooth, easy to understand, and I felt informed and reassured throughout! Just had my next-day checkup and all is perfect!
