LASIK & Refractive Surgery
Decades of Innovation & Experience
(From Left to Right: Dr. Richard Baker, Dr. Stephen Slade & Dr. Shama Essa)
Slade & Baker Vision doctors were the first to perform LASIK in the United States in 1991. We were also the first in the US to perform All-Laser LASIK, as well as many firsts in cataract surgery in the US, such as implantation of the Accommodating IOL and performing Laser Cataract Surgery. Slade & Baker surgeons have a proud history of innovation, having performed FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval trials for Photo-Refractive Keratectomy (PRK), Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), Implantable Contact Lenses (ICLs), Laser Cataract Surgery, and the Raindrop® inlay, among others. This combination of having the longest experience and the newest technology means that Slade & Baker surgeons draw upon their surgical experience to customize the vision correction needs of every patient. We understand that each patient’s ocular anatomy and visual goals are unique, and this means vision correction options should not be “one size fits all.”
