Leading LASIK in Los Angeles | CCRS Vision Correction Center

Blade-Free Wavefront and Contoura® LASIK

LASIK is a proven laser vision correction surgery that reshapes the cornea to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. In the FDA clinical trial of topography-guided Contoura® LASIK, at 12 months:

• 92.6% of eyes achieved 20/20 vision or better
• 64.8% achieved 20/16 or better
• 34.4% achieved 20/12.5 or better
• 15.7% achieved 20/10—the limit of human visual acuity

At CCRS, over 98% of LASIK patients achieve 20/20 vision or better—exceeding the clinical trial benchmark and consistent with published outcomes of the LYRA Protocol™.
Dr. Paul C. Lee, Board-certified refractive surgeon —named one of Newsweek’s Best Eye Surgeons in America, with 50,000+ LASIK procedures over 25 years—performs 100% blade-free Wavefront and Contoura LASIK using the WaveLight® EX500 and ZEISS VisuMax® lasers.

SMILE Eye Surgery: Flapless SMILE LASIK

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism through an incision 80% smaller than a LASIK flap. With no flap created, corneal nerves are preserved—meaning less dry eye—and most patients return to work, sports, swimming, and eye makeup the next day. Over 90% of CCRS SMILE patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, above the FDA trial’s 88% benchmark.

• 12 million+ eyes treated worldwide with ZEISS SMILE across 80+ countries
• 99.7% of FDA trial eyes achieved 20/40 or better—the vision required to drive without glasses
• A strong option for patients with dry eyes or thin corneas who don’t qualify for LASIK

Dr. Paul C. Lee was the first U.S. surgeon outside the FDA study to perform SMILE (2014) and the first in the nation to perform SMILE with astigmatism correction—patients include NBA champion Draymond Green. CCRS has operated the ZEISS VisuMax® femtosecond laser, the only platform
FDA-approved for SMILE, since 2013.

EVO ICL Surgery: The Implantable Collamer Lens

EVO ICL is an additive, removable lens implanted behind the iris—no corneal tissue removed—correcting nearsightedness up to -20.0 diopters, far beyond LASIK’s range. Ideal for dry eyes, thin corneas, and high prescriptions. FDA-approved for ages 21–60, expanded in 2026.

• 3.5 million+ lenses implanted in 75+ countries, backed by 100+ peer-reviewed studies
• Most-performed procedure for high myopia (-8.0 D and above)
• Zero cases of pupillary block or pigment dispersion in 3-year FDA follow-up

Dr. Paul C. Lee, recognized as the top ICL surgeon on the West Coast, has surpassed implant milestones only a handful of U.S. surgeons have reached—volume that builds the precise lens sizing and placement ICL outcomes depend on. His patients include actor Jimmy O. Yang and Dr. Mania Asadourian, the first U.S. optometrist to receive EVO ICL.

Refractive Cataract Surgery

Refractive cataract surgery replaces the eye’s clouded natural lens with a premium artificial lens (IOL)—restoring clarity while correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related near vision loss in one
procedure. Cataract surgery is the most common surgery in the U.S.—about 4 million per year, with 95–98% of patients achieving improved vision.

• Complete vision restoration: Dr. Paul C. Lee specializes in premium and specialized IOLs that restore distance clarity and bring back the near vision lost to aging—not just remove the cataract
• The latest surgical technology—ALCON ARGOS biometry, ORA intraoperative guidance, Digital Marker Microscope—precision that drives the outcomes patients travel across Los Angeles and beyond to get
• Surgeon-led: Dr. Lee personally evaluates every surgical patient and designs each lens plan

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): Lens Replacement Surgery

Refractive lens exchange replaces the eye’s aging natural lens with a premium intraocular lens—correcting near and distance vision, treating presbyopia, and permanently preventing cataracts. RLE uses the same proven techniques as cataract surgery, the most common surgery in the U.S.

• A dedicated private surgical facility: CCRS is one of the few practices with its own surgical suite—keeping every step, from diagnostics through surgery, under Dr. Paul C. Lee’s direct quality control
• Customized end to end: premium lens selection matched to your eyes and lifestyle, with surgery scheduling that works around you
• Ideal for patients 40+ past the best window for LASIK—RLE patients include Olympic medalist Adam Rippon

PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

PRK is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea’s surface without creating a flap—the original laser vision correction, FDA-approved since 1995, with long-term results comparable to LASIK¹¹. No flap means no flap complications, making PRK the go-to option for thin corneas and high-impact lifestyles.

• 30 years of outcome data—the longest track record of any laser vision correction procedure
• Preferred for athletes, military, and first responders: with no corneal flap, there’s nothing to dislodge from an impact
• Modern precision: wavefront mapping and eye-tracking on the WaveLight® EX500 have sharply reduced the glare and halos of early-era PRK

Dr. Paul C. Lee has performed PRK since 1998—more than 25 years of surface ablation experience—applying the same surgeon-led evaluation as every CCRS procedure to determine whether PRK, LASIK, or SMILE best fits your eyes.
