Illinois Eye & Ear at UI Health transforms vision with state-of-the-art laser vision correction procedures that can eliminate your need for glasses or contact lenses.

Significant advancements in surgical techniques and laser technology have made vision correction surgery more available and effective for patients. Illinois Eye & Ear at UI Health is home to some of the most advanced laser innovations available, including “wavefront” technology which utilizes lasers to guide surgeons in a LASIK technique that is custom to your eyes.
