Dr. Lobanoff offers refractive surgeries including LASIK and PRK using the latest generation excimer laser with the most advanced eye-tracking system available. He has performed thousands of LASIK surgeries and is certified to use the new wavefront technology for custom LASIK. He is able to correct farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia with LASIK. With this new technology, Dr. Lobanoff can offer a customized LASIK surgery with the highest degree of safety. Our LASIK center has such advanced technology that Dr. Lobanoff can treat many patients who have been told by other doctors that they are not candidates for LASIK. For those few patients who are not candidates for LASIK, Dr. Lobanoff is able to offer the new Visian ICL to restore their vision.
