When doctors decide to be patients, who do they trust? More have turned to us. In fact, our own surgeons at TLC Laser Eye Centers are so impressed with the procedure, they've each had it on their own eyes. Together they've performed over 100,000 LASIK procedures and can personally relate to every patient's experience.
Because LASIK is so quick, it may seem like an "easy" procedure, one that 'anyone can do.' On the contrary. This miraculous procedure can only be as precise and effective as the doctor who performs it. Excellent results depend on accurate diagnosis, skillful surgical technique, careful post-operative care, and most important of all, experience. As you might imagine, a doctor's experience can be the most critical factor in a patient's results. So the more experienced your doctor is, the more confident you will feel.
TLC Laser Eye Centers optometrists are highly trained and were performing LASIK years before many other doctors had started learning about it. We performed our first LASIK procedure in January, 1996. Since then we have performed more laser procedures on a monthly basis than any other practice in the Washington, D.C. area. Few doctors in the nation have spent as many years improving vision for so many eyes, as TLC Laser Eye Centers.
