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™.

SMILE Eye Surgery: Flapless SMILE LASIK

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism through an incision 80% smaller than a LASIK flap—no flap, minimal discomfort, and a return to sports, swimming, and eye makeup as soon as the next day.

  • 88% of eyes achieved 20/20 vision or better
  • 99.7% achieved 20/40 or better
  • 12 million+ eyes treated worldwide

 
At CCRS, more than 90% of SMILE patients achieve 20/20 vision or better—exceeding the FDA trial benchmark.
Dr. Paul C. Lee was the first surgeon in the United States outside the FDA study to perform SMILE (2014) and the first to perform SMILE with astigmatism correction & trusted by patients including NBA champion Draymond Green. CCRS has operated the ZEISS VisuMax® femtosecond laser, the platform behind every FDA-approved SMILE procedure, since 2013.

EVO ICL Surgery: The Implantable Collamer Lens

EVO ICL is an additive vision correction procedure: a biocompatible Collamer® lens
is placed behind the iris—no corneal tissue removed, removable by design, with
built-in UV protection. It corrects nearsightedness up to -20.0 diopters,
far beyond the typical LASIK range, with up to 4.0 diopters of
astigmatism8:

  • 3.5 million+ ICL lenses implanted across 75+ countries
  • 100+ peer-reviewed studies supporting safety and effectiveness
  • FDA-approved for ages 21–60—expanded from 21–45 in
    2026 on the strength of long-term safety data
  • The most-performed procedure for high myopia (-8.0 D and above) at
    leading U.S. refractive practices

At CCRS, Dr. Paul C. Lee,
recognized as a Top ICL Surgeon in the Nation, has performed thousands of ICL
procedures—including EVO ICL for actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang and for CCRS’s
own Dr. Mania Asadourian,
the first optometrist in the U.S. to receive EVO ICL. In the FDA’s three-year
follow-up, not a single case of pupillary block or pigment dispersion was
reported9—and because no corneal tissue is removed,
EVO ICL is especially effective for dry eyes, thin corneas, and prescriptions beyond
LASIK’s reach.

Refractive Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery can help you rediscover the world with newfound clarity. By gently removing the clouded natural lens of your eye and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, this safe and effective surgery can restore your vision, allowing you to enjoy life’s vibrant colors and beautiful details once again. Traditionally regarded as a medical procedure to replace the cloudy lens, advances in diagnostic, surgical, and lens technology affords vision correction at the same time enabling patients to be less dependent on glasses. We offer a wide range of lens options for customized vision correction.

Refractive Cataract Surgery

Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery is a miraculous procedure that can transform vision by effectively reversing the symptoms of eye aging. RLE has the potential to liberate you from the constraints of glasses or contact lenses for far and near vision—while preventing cataracts. By replacing your eye’s aging natural lens with an advanced technology intraocular lens (ATIOL), this surgery offers the opportunity to enjoy clear vision at all distances. Feel the freedom that you enjoyed in your youth at CCRS.

PRK

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a safe and effective laser eye surgery that can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. Similar to LASIK, this procedure reshapes the cornea, but uses a technique that may be better suited to patients who have thin corneas.

“When it comes to lasik, THIS is the place you want to go. This office has the most advanced medical devices. They ran so many tests on my eyes prior to surgery and they explained everything to Me every step of the way. Day of surgery was quick and easy! After one day I was sure I had made the best decision with this doctor and office.”

HIGHLY impressed with this place! Working in the healthcare industry myself, I was watching out for everything from office friendliness (from check in to check out), cleanliness, wait time, access & availability, etc. And let me tell you, they checked all the boxes! The only downside is, once you leave the office you start wishing all your other healthcare providers functioned the same way!

I have had poor vision my entire life–glasses since age 7, contacts since age 12. My prescription was up to -13, and my vision was so bad that I was told I did not qualify for lasik. Without contacts, I would not be able to see the features of someone’s face–just a skin-colored blur. That is why it is crazy amazing to me that I now wake up with perfect vision. After RLE surgery with a LASIK touchup, I can now see better than I ever did with contacts….. It really feels like a miracle.
