“At WashU Medicine LASIK Surgery Center, safety and visual outcomes are always our top priorities. We take great care in selecting patients who are most likely to have excellent results with minimal risk. Many patients tell me they rank LASIK alongside some of life’s biggest moments, like getting married or welcoming their first child. It has a meaningful, lasting impact on their lives, and we are reminded of that every day when we hear from patients during their post-operative visits.”
