Refractive Surgery Leaders in the field of refractive surgery have put Rochester at the forefront of development, safety, and effectiveness in laser vision correction technology.

Today, through wavefront sensing technology developed by the Rochester team, many aberrations can be detected and treated with LASIK. Through customized ablation, patients vision may be restored or improved possibly even better than 20/20. Free informational seminars are offered to patients who may be candidates for LASIK surgery. The Flaum Eye Institute Refractive Surgery Center offers 26-point evaluation process including Orbscan and Zywave the most complete refractive surgery evaluation in the region.
