From our patients:
See the Best

I love my new LASIK eyes! Dr. Slade was the first in the US to do LASIK and has the latest technology. It only took a few minutes and didn't hurt at all. I went out to dinner that first night!

LASIK patient - Victoria

As a highly experienced ophthalmic surgeon, I chose laser cataract surgery based on the precision of the technology as well as the reputation of Dr. Slade. I believe the laser will add safety and better visual results to cataract surgery.

Laser Cataract Surgery - Ernst

Laser cataract surgery with Dr. Slade was the easiest thing, it was all so comfortable. I don't have to wear glasses now, it fixed my astigmatism and near vision! I trust Dr. Slade so much, I never worried about being the first laster cataract surgery patient in the whole country!

Laser Cataract Surgery - Lola

This is the only place to go for treatment if you have keratoconus. The entire staff is compassionate and truly understand what you are going thorough and they have alternatives to this condition, other than simply giving you are to wear contact lenses. I had Corneal Cross Linking surgery and it was the absolute best decision I ever made. I cannot thank this place enough for treating my condition and providing me excellent eye care!

Corneal Crosslinking Patient - Andrell
