The Wilmer Eye Institute has been performing laser vision correction since the early 1990's. We have performed thousands of surgeries and continue to be at the forefront of laser vision correction. Wilmer developed some of the earliest lasers for vision care and pioneered laser removal of corneal scars and laser treatment for corneal diseases.
We continue to participate in clinical trials for approvals of new, advanced excimer laser software and technology and are committed to developing the next generation of laser vision correction procedures.
