“My only regret is not getting it sooner.”

As a new mom, I wanted to experience life with my son with corrected vision. I was able to take photos for his 1st birthday just 4 days after my surgery! Thank you for giving me a sense of peace while undergoing eye surgery and equally as important, a new outlook on life.

"Results couldn't be better."

Dr. Niksarli and Brad are both fantastic people. I walked in having worn glasses for 17 years and walked out with 20:15 vision!

"I can't believe how amazing the SMILE procedure was."

I chose SMILE because I was looking for fast recovery since it’s hard to take time off from work. Dr. Niksarli and the team are amazing.

Procedures

Ultra-Thin Flap
VisuMax LASIK

LASIK (Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a popular laser vision correction surgery that treats nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

At MLC, our surgeons perform Ultra-Thin Flap Bladeless LASIK using the ZEISS VisuMax Laser, the most advanced femtosecond laser, to create extremely thin, precise 80 micron corneal flaps. With Ultra-Thin Flap Bladeless LASIK, the procedure is less invasive which leads to better visual results, faster recovery, stronger cornea and significantly reduced postoperative dryness.

ReLEx^® SMILE

ReLEx (Refractive Lenticule Extraction) SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the 3rd generation of laser vision correction to treat nearsightedness and astigmatism. Only performed at select, premier laser eye surgery centers across the United States, SMILE is the most advanced, precise, gentle, and flapless vision correction procedure in the world.

MLC is the 1st center in the Northeast to offer this revolutionary procedure and continues to be the most experienced ReLEx SMILE center in the nation with over 8,000 successful SMILE procedures. This minimally invasive, flapless procedure allows the cornea to stay stronger while significantly reducing the postoperative dryness. Since there is no flap creation with SMILE, patients can resume activities like swimming, outdoor sports, etc. as early as the next day.
