Mayo Clinic's approach
Comprehensive care
People treated at Mayo Clinic experience continuous, comprehensive care by seeing Mayo ophthalmologists from evaluation through post-surgery clinic visits, rather than transferring follow-up care to another eye care provider.
Advanced technology
LASIK surgery is the most common type of laser refractive surgery. Mayo Clinic eye surgeons have expertise in every type of laser eye surgery. Your eye specialist will talk with you about the technique best suited to your situation.
Thorough screening and newest treatments
Mayo Clinic emphasizes a thorough evaluation to ensure that you're a good candidate for this type of surgery. This careful screening, coupled with the use of the most current laser surgery technology and techniques, helps ensure quality results for laser vision correction.
