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™.
Board-certified refractive surgeon
Dr. Paul C. Lee—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 7, above the FDA trial’s 88% benchmark4.
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
20268.
Dr. Paul C. Lee, recognized as the top ICL surgeon on the West Coast12, 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.
Cataract surgery can help you rediscover the world with newfound clarity. By gently removing the clouded natural lens of your eye and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, this safe and effective surgery can restore your vision, allowing you to enjoy life’s vibrant colors and beautiful details once again. Traditionally regarded as a medical procedure to replace the cloudy lens, advances in diagnostic, surgical, and lens technology affords vision correction at the same time enabling patients to be less dependent on glasses. We offer a wide range of lens options for customized vision correction.
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery is a miraculous procedure that can transform vision by effectively reversing the symptoms of eye aging. RLE has the potential to liberate you from the constraints of glasses or contact lenses for far and near vision—while preventing cataracts. By replacing your eye’s aging natural lens with an advanced technology intraocular lens (ATIOL), this surgery offers the opportunity to enjoy clear vision at all distances. Feel the freedom that you enjoyed in your youth at CCRS.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a safe and effective laser eye surgery that can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. Similar to LASIK, this procedure reshapes the cornea, but uses a technique that may be better suited to patients who have thin corneas.

“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!

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.
