Experience

Dr. Stephen Wexler has committed his career to refractive surgery and has been performing LASIK and PRK surgery for over 24 years. He has performed 70,000+ LASIK surgeries since 1996.

Outcomes

Positive outcomes are our highest priority. That is why we use the latest diagnostic technology, including epithelial mapping. Epithelial mapping is a high-tech tool used to help us decide who are good candidates for LASIK by screening out those that may be at higher risk for problems following the procedure.

Technology

At Washington University we use the latest technology to get the best patient outcomes. We perform each LASIK surgery with blade-less laser technology. We also have the capability of performing topography-guided LASIK that is specific to your visual needs.

Topography-guided LASIK allows us to not only correct your nearsightedness and astigmatism, but also corrects those subtle visual imperfections that can affect night vision and contrast sensitivity. This advanced technology can help improve your odds of achieving 20/20 vision after surgery.

*Not everyone is a candidate for topography-guided LASIK
