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: The Flapless Alternative to LASIK

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism through an incision 80% smaller than a LASIK flap. No flap means more corneal nerves stay intact—typically less dry eye. In the FDA myopia trial, at 6 months:

  • 88% of eyes achieved 20/20 or better; 99.7% achieved 20/40 or better
  • 13 million+ eyes treated worldwide with ZEISS SMILE across 80+ countries
  • A strong option for dry eyes or thin corneas that don’t qualify for LASIK

At CCRS, over 90% of SMILE eyes achieve 20/20 or better—exceeding the trial benchmark across 250 consecutive eyes.

EVO ICL Surgery: The Implantable Collamer Lens

EVO ICL is an additive, removable lens implanted behind the iris—no corneal tissue removed—correcting nearsightedness from -3.0 to -20.0 diopters, far beyond LASIK’s range. Ideal for dry eyes, thin corneas, and high prescriptions. In February 2026, the FDA expanded approval from ages 21–45 to 21–60.

  • 4 million+ lenses sold in 75+ countries, backed by 100+ peer-reviewed studies
  • Most-performed procedure for high myopia—72% of cases at -8.0 D and above across 19 U.S. practices

Refractive Cataract Surgery

Refractive cataract surgery replaces the eye’s clouded natural lens with a premium intraocular lens (IOL)—restoring clarity while correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related near vision loss in a single procedure.

  • Close to 4 million performed annually in the U.S.—one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the country
  • 95–98% of patients achieve restored or significantly improved vision
  • Premium and specialized IOLs restore distance clarity and the near vision lost to aging—not just remove the cataract

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): Lens Replacement Surgery

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

  • A dedicated private surgical facility: CCRS is one of the few practices with its own surgical suite, keeping diagnostics through surgery under one roof
  • Customized end to end: premium lens selection matched to your eyes, lifestyle, and long-term vision goals

PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

PRK 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 a strong option for thin corneas and high-impact lifestyles.

  • 30+ years of outcome data—the longest track record in laser vision correction
  • No flap to dislodge on impact—a common choice for athletes, military, and first responders
  • Modern precision: wavefront mapping and eye-tracking on the WaveLight® EX500 have sharply reduced early-era PRK glare and halos

“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.”

Yelp Review

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!

Yelp Review

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.

LASIK in Los Angeles: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does LASIK cost in Los Angeles?

LASIK at CCRS in Los Angeles costs $2,000 per eye for all-laser bladeless LASIK and $2,500 per eye for topography-guided Contoura® LASIK — all-inclusive, covering the surgeon-led evaluation, medications, all post-operative visits, and any future enhancement. Many Los Angeles practices advertise low teaser rates that rise once wavefront or topography-guided upgrades are added; CCRS has no hidden fees and backs its pricing with a price match guarantee. Financing, FSA, and HSA are accepted.

Who is the best LASIK surgeon in Los Angeles?

The best LASIK surgeon for you is board-certified, has high surgical volume, uses current laser platforms, and offers every vision correction procedure — so the recommendation fits your eyes, not the practice's menu. Dr. Paul C. Lee of CCRS has performed over 50,000 LASIK procedures across 25+ years, was named one of Newsweek's Best Eye Surgeons in America, and led the first center in Los Angeles to offer fully bladeless, all-laser LASIK.

What is the LASIK success rate at CCRS?

Over 98% of CCRS LASIK patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, driven by 6th-generation laser technology (ALCON WaveLight EX500 and ZEISS VisuMax), advanced corneal diagnostics, and careful candidate screening. When LASIK isn't the safest option for a patient's eyes, CCRS recommends a better-suited procedure instead — a key reason outcomes stay high.

Does insurance cover LASIK, and does CCRS offer financing?

Most health insurance plans don't cover LASIK because it's elective, but CCRS offers monthly financing plans including zero-interest options, accepts FSA and HSA funds (pre-tax dollars), and many vision plans provide member discounts. Starting at $2,000 per eye all-inclusive, LASIK at CCRS often costs less than a decade of contact lenses.

Where can I get LASIK near me in the Los Angeles area?

CCRS provides LASIK at three greater Los Angeles locations: Mid-Wilshire Los Angeles (4160 Wilshire Blvd.), Sherman Oaks serving the San Fernando Valley (4954 Van Nuys Blvd.), and Pasadena serving the San Gabriel Valley (2900 E. Colorado Blvd.). See hours and directions or call (323) 933-3111.

Is the LASIK consultation at CCRS free?

Yes — LASIK consultations at CCRS are completely free and include advanced corneal imaging with a personalized recommendation reviewed by Dr. Paul C. Lee across all options: LASIK, SMILE, EVO ICL, and RLE. You can also start from home with the free online vision assessment.

What if LASIK isn't right for my eyes?

You still have excellent options: CCRS offers every major vision correction procedure in Los Angeles under one roof — SMILE, EVO ICL for high prescriptions or thin corneas, PRK, and refractive lens exchange for patients 40+. Your evaluation determines which procedure is safest and most effective for your eyes.

Why do patients choose CCRS for LASIK in Los Angeles?

Patients choose CCRS for surgeon-led care from evaluation through follow-up, the latest ZEISS and ALCON laser platforms, transparent all-inclusive pricing, and a 25-year track record that includes professional athletes and performers such as Draymond Green and Jimmy O. Yang. Read patient reviews or request an appointment.
