CCRS is a Los Angeles LASIK center led by Dr. Paul C. Lee, a board-certified refractive surgeon with more than 25 years of experience and over 50,000 LASIK procedures performed. Every Custom LASIK treatment at CCRS is 100% blade-free and fully customized using the WaveLight® EX500 and ZEISS VisuMax® laser platforms, with three convenient locations in Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, and Pasadena.
Not every eye is a LASIK eye — and that’s where CCRS stands apart. As a full-service vision correction center, we also offer SMILE, EVO ICL, and lens-based procedures, so the recommendation you get is based on what’s truly best for your eyes, not the only procedure on the menu.
At CCRS, we go above and beyond to deliver the highest level of customized eye care and advanced vision correction surgery.

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:
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™.
Dr. Paul C. Lee, Board-certified refractive surgeon —named one of Newsweek’s Best Eye Surgeons in America, with 50,000+ LASIK procedures over 25 years—performs 100% blade-free Wavefront and Contoura LASIK using the WaveLight® EX500 and ZEISS VisuMax® lasers.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism through an incision 80% smaller than a LASIK flap. With no flap created, corneal nerves are preserved—meaning less dry eye—and most patients return to work, sports, swimming, and eye makeup the next day. Over 90% of CCRS SMILE patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, above the FDA trial’s 88% benchmark.
Dr. Paul C. Lee was the first U.S. surgeon outside the FDA study to perform SMILE (2014) and the first in the nation to perform SMILE with astigmatism correction—patients include NBA champion Draymond Green. CCRS has operated the ZEISS VisuMax® femtosecond laser, the only platform
FDA-approved for SMILE, since 2013.
EVO ICL is an additive, removable lens implanted behind the iris—no corneal tissue removed—correcting nearsightedness up to -20.0 diopters, far beyond LASIK’s range. Ideal for dry eyes, thin corneas, and high prescriptions. FDA-approved for ages 21–60, expanded in 2026.
Dr. Paul C. Lee, recognized as the top ICL surgeon on the West Coast, has surpassed implant milestones only a handful of U.S. surgeons have reached—volume that builds the precise lens sizing and placement ICL outcomes depend on. His patients include actor Jimmy O. Yang and Dr. Mania Asadourian, the first U.S. optometrist to receive EVO ICL.
Refractive cataract surgery replaces the eye’s clouded natural lens with a premium artificial lens (IOL)—restoring clarity while correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related near vision loss in one
procedure. Cataract surgery is the most common surgery in the U.S.—about 4 million per year, with 95–98% of patients achieving improved vision.
Refractive lens exchange replaces the eye’s aging natural lens with a premium intraocular lens—correcting near and distance vision, treating presbyopia, and permanently preventing cataracts. RLE uses the same proven techniques as cataract surgery, the most common surgery in the U.S.
PRK is a laser eye surgery that 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 the go-to option for thin corneas and high-impact lifestyles.
Dr. Paul C. Lee has performed PRK since 1998—more than 25 years of surface ablation experience—applying the same surgeon-led evaluation as every CCRS procedure to determine whether PRK, LASIK, or SMILE best fits your eyes.
Waking Up To A 20/20 Vision: Yesterday I had lasik done from Dr. Paul C. Lee and not even 24 hours I can see and drive with no glasses or contacts. Thank you Dr. Lee for your amazing work and your beautiful and lovely staff.

“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!

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
