Vancouver Laser Eye Surgery Centers

Vancouver laser eye surgery centers and clinics receive patrons from around the United States and Canada. People visiting Vancouver on vacation find it convenient to drop by one of its many laser surgery centers for a few minutes of LASIK surgery. Below are some of them.

Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centres

Dr. Steven Kirzner, is this Vancouver laser eye surgery center's medical director. He has performed over 35,000 successful laser eye procedures since 1991.

Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centres patients benefit from advances in 3D eye tracking so that they do not have to align their own eye to the laser, as in other procedures that predate 3D eye tracking and iris recognition technology. This technology ensures greater accuracy, alignment, and safety.

Moreover, the technology makes allowances for dilated pupils, eliminating one of the debilitating side effects of conventional laser treatment: poor night vision.

Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centres uses Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix 100 technology for its procedures.

LASIK MD

Doctors who, together, have performed over 300,000 LASIK surgeries across Canada staff this Vancouver laser eye surgery center.

LASIK MD has pioneered in several areas, such as being the first clinic to use excimer laser in Ontario, Canada and the second in Canada in 1990. LASIK MD surgeons were also the first to use the Total Cornea technique in 1997, which eliminates visual disturbances at night.

The center uses Zero Compression Keratome (to create the corneal flap, saving corneal tissue), ZyoptixTM, and Custom Wavefront LASIK.

LASIK MD uses the Bausch & Lomb 217z laser.

London Place Eye Centre

This Vancouver laser eye surgery clinic has developed a technique called No Touch, a highly safe method of reshaping the cornea in myopic, hyperopic, and astigmatic patients. No Touch uses only laser light (not the usual microkeratome's metal blade) and does not involve manual incision to create a corneal flap.

London Place Eye Centre surgeons are not only internationally recognized in the field of refractive surgery, but also take part in clinical trials to arrive at new techniques. With over 20 years of eye care experience, this Vancouver laser eye surgery center has had over 75,000 triumphant laser eye surgery operations.

London Place Eye Centre uses the VISX STAR S4-IR excimer laser for its No Touch method.

VisionMed

VisionMed's surgeons continuously participate in training and certification programs. They are leaders in refractive surgery research and development, and regularly lecture and teach at international conferences.

This Vancouver laser eye surgery center offers patients Wavefront Scan if they are vulnerable to night vision problems or have large pupils. VisionMed recommends PlanoScan LASIK for a virtually painless and quick procedure, and PlanoScanTM PRK for some patients with specific needs.

VisionMed also offers CustomScan for patients with severe to extreme prescriptions, as well as those with asymmetrical corneas that require a laser system beyond wavefront technology.
