Deciding to have LASIK surgery takes a lot of consideration. You’ll want to understand your candidacy, weigh your options, and find a surgeon you actually trust with your eyes.
Manhattan LASIK Center has spent more than two decades helping patients throughout New York and New Jersey make that decision with confidence.
Did you know that Manhattan LASIK Center has more than 20 years of experience helping patients decide whether LASIK is the right treatment? We toot our horn a little by sharing the top reasons people from all over the world seek out our LASIK center in the tri-state area.
Why Manhattan LASIK Center Leads the Tri-State Area
Patients travel from across the region, and often from out of state, to see us.
It usually comes down to the fact that we combine experience, technology, and convenience in a way few practices in the area can match.
- Four fully-equipped offices across Manhattan, Paramus, Roslyn, and Westchester
- More than two decades of dedicated experience in LASIK, SMILE, and other vision correction procedures
- Surgeons trained at Columbia, Cornell, and Harvard, with fellowships completed at Ivy League institutions
- Ongoing involvement in advancing LASIK and SMILE technology
- Multiple leading laser platforms on site, including the ZEISS VisuMax
- Temperature- and humidity-controlled operating rooms for consistent, precise results
- Transparent, inclusive pricing with no hidden fees
- Flexible financing options, including CareCredit and up to 24 months interest-free
We also focus exclusively on refractive surgery. That means every part of the practice, from our surgeons to our equipment, is built around the goal of giving you the clearest possible vision.
Surgeons With Decades of Combined Experience
When you’re trusting someone with your vision, experience is one of the most important factors to consider. Our surgeons at Manhattan LASIK Center have collectively performed more than 100,000 laser vision correction procedures, and that number keeps growing.
- Dr. Kevin Niksarli, Founder and Medical Director, has personally performed more than 80,000 procedures. He earned his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College, and completed advanced refractive surgery training at Harvard.
- Dr. Mark Buchsbaum has performed more than 30,000 procedures over more than 20 years in refractive surgery. He earned his medical degree with honors from New York Medical College and served as Chief Resident at Saint Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center.
Both doctors are board-certified, and both have been recognized among the top ophthalmologists in the country. That kind of track record is exactly what you want behind you before anyone touches your eyes.
“Dr. Niksarli is the BEST! He makes you feel comfortable. He’s done more procedures than anyone in the country. If you’re a doctor snob like me, he went to Columbia, Cornell, and Harvard. If you are at all nervous but want to do it, this is the guy.”

Backed by Advanced Technology
Experience means little without the right tools and technology to back it up.
Manhattan LASIK Center is the first practice in the tri-state area to offer ZEISS SMILE Pro, performed on the ZEISS VisuMax 800, the newest generation of femtosecond laser platform.
- AI-assisted eye tracking and alignment technology that adjusts in real time during your procedure
- High-resolution corneal mapping and diagnostic imaging that give surgeons a detailed view of your eyes before treatment
- Same-day surgery for qualifying patients, so you’re not waiting weeks between your consultation and your procedure
Manhattan LASIK Center’s approach to LASIK eye surgery uses that same technology investment, with ultra-thin, bladeless flap methods that lower the risk of dry eye compared to older techniques. Many patients achieve 20/20 vision or better following their procedure, though results vary from person to person based on your starting prescription and eye health.
Four Convenient Locations Across NY and NJ
Manhattan LASIK Center serves patients in Manhattan, Paramus, Roslyn, and Westchester, along with travelers from other states and countries who come specifically for our surgeons. Some patients drive an hour or more past other LASIK centers just to be seen here, and plenty fly in from out of state for the same reason.
Every location offers the same technology and the same standard of care, plus flexible financing options to help make treatment affordable, including interest-free plans for qualifying patients. We also offer in-house discounts for qualifying insurances, local businesses and their employees, so your workplace may already have a partnership in place that lowers your cost even further.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Manhattan LASIK Center offers free consultations six days a week, so scheduling your first visit rarely means taking time off during the workweek. Here’s what typically happens once you’re in the chair:
- A full diagnostic exam, including corneal mapping and detailed imaging of both eyes
- A one-on-one conversation with your surgeon about which procedure fits your prescription, lifestyle, and goals
- A clear breakdown of pricing, along with financing and insurance discount options
- Time to ask questions before you commit to anything
Before recommending any treatment, our surgeons evaluate every patient’s candidacy individually.
Is Manhattan LASIK Center Right for You?
The best way to know your options is a full evaluation, but here’s what typically makes someone a good candidate for laser vision correction:
- Nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism that has been stable for at least a year
- Corneas thick enough to safely support LASIK or SMILE
- No history of certain autoimmune or corneal conditions
- Realistic expectations about results and recovery
If you’re not a LASIK candidate because of thin corneas or a high prescription, you may still qualify for EVO ICL, which corrects vision without reshaping the cornea at all. Every treatment plan starts with a full diagnostic exam, because at Manhattan LASIK Center, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to your eyes.
