LASIK can improve nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatic vision. But factors like age, eyeglass prescription, and even physical health impact your potential success and recovery.


2. What are your qualifications and experience with LASIK?

You’ll want a LASIK surgeon who has significant education, expertise, and experience with the procedure. 

But their knowledge shouldn’t begin and end with only LASIK. 

Why? Because, as the saying goes, if you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When all a physician knows is LASIK, they’re less likely to consider other options that may serve you better.



To get a complete picture of a surgeon’s qualifications, ask:

Dr. Benjamin holds degrees from Cornell University and Duke University School of Medicine. He acquired his ophthalmology training at the world-renowned Jules Stein Eye Institute at the UCLA School of Medicine.

Since 1994, Dr. Benjamin has seen more than 250,000 patients and has personally performed more than 30,000 ocular surgeries.

At Benjamin Eye Institute, we evaluate your concerns from every angle and offer thoughtful solutions that best protect your vision for life. In addition to LASIK, we offer cataract care, cosmetic treatments, dry eye treatment, glaucoma support, retina services, and general eye health.

Dr. Benjamin is a diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology, a member of both the California Association of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Ophthalmology, serves on the leadership team for the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. He also volunteers as an assistant clinical professor at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, where he teaches residents and medical students the latest surgical and medical advances in ophthalmology.

Other physicians not only frequently refer their patients to Dr. Benjamin, but they also trust him with their own eyesight. As a world-renowned ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, he has an unparalleled reputation as a “doctor’s doctor.”

3. What equipment and technology do you use for the procedure?

The best LASIK providers value quality care over their bottom line

—and their equipment and technology will reflect this priority. State-of-the-art diagnostic tools and advanced surgical lasers are worth the investment because they deliver the safest, most precise vision correction.

At Benjamin Eye Institute, we use industry-leading, cutting-edge technology—found in only a handful of practices—to deliver exquisitely accurate LASIK solutions.

Unlike most LASIK providers, we own our diagnostic equipment and have an in-house surgical suite, which means everything is fine-tuned specifically and only for Dr. Benjamin. He has everything dialed in to perform his craft at his absolute best.

We care about every aspect of your experience, so you never have to worry about mishaps or misunderstandings.


4. How much does LASIK cost, and what’s included?

Your LASIK investment will depend on several factors, including the degree of vision correction required, the technology used, and the surgeon’s experience and skill.
While it may be tempting to choose a discounted version of LASIK, remember this procedure is irreversible. You truly can’t afford to choose cost over quality.

Regardless of where you have your procedure, you deserve transparent, all-inclusive pricing.

During your initial consultation at Benjamin Eye Institute, we’ll explain your treatment options and provide a detailed explanation of every related cost so there are no unpleasant surprises. For those who qualify, we offer 0% interest financing for two years through Care Credit, and our guarantee provides peace of mind that your investment will be worth it. (More on that in #5!)

When you receive LASIK from an expert physician who uses the most sophisticated technology available, you can expect your vision to be better than it was with your corrective lenses.

Occasionally, LASIK patients require an enhancement procedure within the first year post -surgery to fine-tune their vision.

If you require an enhancement procedure, we provide it at no additional cost to you.

LASIK HOY Los Angeles

LASIK сегодня в Лос Анджелесе

 has been around for over 30 years. Recent technological advances have taken it to new heights. 

 can offer you levels of clarity that were unimaginable just 5 years ago.

Twenty years ago, the value proposition of LASIK was to "reduce dependence" on glasses and contact lenses. That meant: get LASIK and you may be able to drive without using glasses or contacts. By using today's LASIK technology, we can safely treat higher order aberrations (imperfections in the visual system) that glasses and contacts simply cannot correct.  As a result, you can often see better after LASIK  than you could with even glasses or contacts before.  It is not uncommon for patients to have a 20/15 or even a 20/10 following the procedure. With such vision, even the smallest details can be seen at a great distance.  

Some even argue that because the technology is so safe and predictable, patients with 20/20 vision should undergo laser surgery to achieve the superhuman 20/10 vision.  For the record, we do not support this idea.

However, if you are one of the 30% of patients for whom our analysis indicates that LASIK is not  the best choice for you, do not be discouraged! There are plenty of other options are available to you.  Dr. Benjamin is more than just an experienced LASIK surgeon. He is an expert cataract and lens-based surgeon. We offer other surgical options such as VISIAN ICL or lens exchange procedures.

Corneal response to laser pulses will vary with ambient temperature AND humidity fluctuations.  That is why our  state of the art climate control system that doesn’t just maintain constant temperature but humidity as well.  Temperature of 69 and humidity of 72%.  

Tightly controlling both temperature and humidity in the operating room 24/7 results in more consistent and predictable results.  Consistency means fewer enhancements are needed, and that makes for ecstatic patients and happy doctors!

El LASIK ha estado disponible durante más de 30 años. Los avances tecnológicos recientes lo han llevado a nuevos niveles. El LASIK de hoy en día puede ofrecer niveles de claridad que eran inimaginables hace solo 5 años.

Hace veinte años, la propuesta de valor del LASIK era "reducir la dependencia" de los lentes y los anteojos. Eso significaba: obtén LASIK y tal vez puedas conducir sin usar anteojos o lentes de contacto. Con la tecnología LASIK actual, podemos tratar de manera segura aberraciones de orden superior (imperfecciones en el sistema visual) que simplemente no se pueden corregir con anteojos o lentes de contacto. Como resultado, a menudo puedes ver mejor después del LASIK que antes incluso con anteojos o lentes de contacto. No es raro que los pacientes tengan una visión de 20/15 o incluso 20/10 después del procedimiento. Con tal visión, incluso los detalles más pequeños pueden verse a gran distancia.

Algunos argumentan que debido a que la tecnología es tan segura y predecible, los pacientes con una visión de 20/20 deberían someterse a una cirugía láser para lograr una visión sobrehumana de 20/10. Para constancia, no apoyamos esta idea.

Sin embargo, si es uno de los pacientes del 30% para quienes nuestro análisis indica que LASIK no es la mejor opción para usted, ¡no se desanime! Hay muchas otras opciones disponibles para usted. El Dr. Benjamin es más que un experimentado cirujano de LASIK. Es un experto en cirugía de cataratas y basada en lentes. Ofrecemos otras opciones quirúrgicas como VISIAN ICL o procedimientos de intercambio de lentes.

La respuesta corneal a los pulsos láser variará con las fluctuaciones ambientales de temperatura Y humedad. Es por eso que nuestro sistema de control climático de última generación no solo mantiene una temperatura constante, sino también una humedad constante. Temperatura de 69 y humedad del 72%. 

Controlar estrechamente tanto la temperatura como la humedad en la sala de operaciones las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, resulta en resultados más consistentes y predecibles. La consistencia significa menos mejoras necesarias, y eso hace que los pacientes estén extasiados y los médicos felices!

За последние несколько лет взяты новые технологические вершины: сегодня  LASIK может подарить вам зрение, о котором еще вчера вы не могли мечтать. 
Если раньше LASIK обещал избавление от очков, контактных линз и в лучшем случае 20/20, то сегодня можно порой достичь 20/15 и даже 20/10, когда мельчайшие детали видны на большой дистанции. Есть пациенты с 20/20, которые делают лазерную операцию (называется Contoura), чтобы достичь такого сверхзрения.

Dr. Benjamin makes a flap in the cornea with a femtosecond laser, then reshapes your cornea with an excimer laser, correcting refractive errors. After that, the flap is replaced and smoothed, and the natural healing process begins.

Different parts of the eye surface have different prescriptions. That is why when choosing glasses, patients reach the point when it is hard to tell which lens is better. The reason for that is that you look through one area of ​​the eye at one point, and through another area of the eye at a different time. 

The prescription for glasses or contact lenses is one for all, that is an average for prescriptions in the center of the eye, on the side and below. LASIK corrects corneal errors on the entire surface. If you are nearsighted and/or have astigmatism, we have a 99% chance that you will see 20/20 if you get LASIK with us. 

Do you want to see even better? That’s totally possible! To make that happen, we need to make the most accurate measurements of refractive errors. We give a 95% chance that you will reach 20/15, and a 90% chance that you will become 20/10. This means that you will see small letters that would seem to you like dots even wearing glasses with the best prescription for you.

El Dr. Benjamin hace un colgajo en la córnea con un láser de femtosegundo, luego remodela su córnea con un láser excimer, corrigiendo errores refractivos. Después de eso, se reemplaza y suaviza el colgajo, y comienza el proceso de curación natural.

Diferentes partes de la superficie del ojo tienen diferentes prescripciones. Es por eso que al elegir gafas, los pacientes llegan al punto en que es difícil decir qué lente es mejor. La razón de esto es que miras a través de una zona del ojo en un punto y a través de otra zona del ojo en otro momento.

La prescripción para gafas o lentes de contacto es una para todos, es decir, un promedio de prescripciones en el centro del ojo, en el lado y debajo. LASIK corrige errores corneales en toda la superficie. Si eres miope y / o tienes astigmatismo, tenemos un 99% de posibilidades de que veas 20/20 si te haces LASIK con nosotros.

¿Quieres ver aún mejor? ¡Eso es totalmente posible! Para hacerlo realidad, necesitamos hacer las mediciones más precisas de errores refractivos. Damos un 95% de posibilidades de que alcances 20/15 y un 90% de posibilidades de que te conviertas en 20/10. Esto significa que verás letras pequeñas que te parecerán puntos incluso usando gafas con la mejor prescripción para ti.

Доктор Бенджамин с помощью фемтосекундного лазера делает лоскут в роговице, затем (уже эксимерным лазером) изменяет форму вашей роговицы, исправляя рефрактивные погрешности, после чего лоскут водворяется на место, и вступает процесс естественного заживления.

У разных участков поверхности глаза – разные рецепты. Поэтому, когда при подборе очков спрашивают: с этой линзой лучше или с той? – пациент может путаться в показаниях. Причина: один раз вы смотрите через один участок глаза, а другой раз – через другой. 
Рецепт же на очки или контактные линзы – «один на всех»: в центре глаза, сбоку и снизу. LASIK исправляет погрешности роговицы на всей поверхности. Если у вас близорукость и/или астигматизм, то у нас в офисе есть 99% шанс, что вы будете видеть 20/20. 

А если вы хотите видеть еще лучше? Вот зачем нужны измерения погрешностей высшей степени. Мы даем 95% вероятность, что вы достигнете 20/15, и 90% – что «прозреете» до 20/10. Это означает, что вы будете видеть такие маленькие буквы, которые в лучших очках вам будут казаться точками.
