Our Procedures

LASIK

A popular procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct vision. Laser treatment for the eyes is a quick, relatively painless procedure that offers fast recovery.

PRK

Similar to LASIK, but instead of creating a flap on the cornea, the outer layer is gently brushed away. It's a great option for those with thinner corneas.

Good results, poor bedside manner I chose Dishler Lasik based on my eye doctor's recommendation and good reviews. The pre-exam doctors were professional, and I'm happy with my 20/20 results a year later. However, the process felt like being herded through cattle. Key issues: - They required a driver but wouldn't let them in the waiting room (not great for anxious patients) - Pre-surgery room was bright with TV playing instead of the relaxing environment I expected - Training nurse ignored when I said the Valium wasn't working - Nurse missed numbing drops in my left eye, dismissed my concern, leaving me feeling the procedure - Recovery felt rushed - doctor seemed annoyed when checking my vision The medical outcome was excellent, but the patient experience was stressful and impersonal. If you go here, advocate firmly for yourself and set expectations that it's more clinical assembly line than spa-like experience. Would I go again? Probably not - there are other quality options that treat patients with more care during what's already an anxiety-inducing procedure.

Couldn’t recommend Dishler Laser Institute enough. My entire experience from start to finish was phenomenal. Everyone on the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I was definitely a little nervous going into LASIK, but they did a great job explaining everything and putting my mind at ease. The procedure itself was so quick and painless. It was honestly over before I knew it. Dr. Jon Dishler was the man and made the whole experience incredibly smooth. Also have to give a huge shoutout to Dr. Jacob Bray! He helped me through all of the appointments and requirements leading up to surgery and made sure I knew exactly what to expect going into it. Dr. Bray is the guy! Most importantly, the results have been amazing. Being able to see clearly without glasses or contacts still feels surreal. If you’re considering LASIK, I seriously couldn’t recommend Dishler Laser Institute more!

I have nothing but great things to say about my entire experience with Dishler Laser Institute. From the moment I stepped through the facility doors, I was taken care of by friendly and knowable staff. The process was easy and everything was explained to make me feel comfortable. I will recommended this surgery to anyone. I cannot thank everyone that works there enough for such excellent care.

My experience at Dishler Laser Institute was excellent. The entire staff was welcoming, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Dr. Meagan Petraitis was professional and encouraging during every interaction—from my phone consultation to my pre-op and post-op appointments. Dr. Jacob Bray personally called me after determining I was a better candidate for PRK and walked me through the entire process, which gave me confidence in my decision. On day one after my procedure, I'm already seeing close to 20/20 with both eyes, and I couldn't be happier with my results so far. Every aspect of my experience was smooth, and I felt well cared for from start to finish. I highly recommend Dishler!
