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 (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. 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.
