LASIK Vision Correction

Our LASIK surgeons utilize their extensive experience and expertise to deliver safe and effective results.

At DuPage Medical Group, you’ll find highly experienced, board certified, fellowship trained ophthalmologists specializing in LASIK™ surgery. Our surgeons utilize the IntraLase™ method, a 100% blade-free technique proven to be safe and effective. Prior to surgery, our team performs extensive evaluations to determine if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery. If you are a good candidate, we then do further testing and evaluation. Everything from the diameter of your flap to the angle of its edges is precisely measured so that we can tailor your procedure to the dimensions of your eyes.

Beyond our surgical expertise, you’ll find our practice to be very personable and friendly. You’ll spend a great deal of time with our doctors so that you can have all your questions answered. After all, your comfort is most important.
