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.

Your journey toward a better vision starts here. Explore our procedures and discover the difference that Dishler Laser Institute can make in your life.

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!

I had a LASIK procedure and it couldn't have gone better. Dr Jacob answered every question I could think of and took great care in getting the perscription exactly right. On surgery day it was clear that the Dishler Laser Institute operated like a well oiled machine. Dr Dishler was friendly, professional and extremely experienced. The whole process went by in a flash. I'm writing this review the next day so you know recovery is very fast too! I couldn't be happier with the experience. kudos to everyone involved! Update after 6 months: I wanted to add more to this review after 6 months of recovery. I'm still seeing better than ever. 20/15 vision which is great of course but I think my favorite part of my new vision is that eye strain occurs a lot less often. So I can read after a full days work at the computer without tiring out. I have forgotten what it's like to rely on glasses. I do recommend this investment on your vision, totally worth it.

From scheduling my appointment to the actual procedure everyone was wonderful to work with!! Dr. Meagan Petraitis was very informative about the procedure when I was deciding if lasik was the way to go. Once the appointment was scheduled the process was very easy. Plenty of reminders and the check in process was easy. Everyone was all smiles and kind. Jacob was easy to work with for all the beginning stuff and the procedure was fast and easy! Being able to walk out of there being able to see was always the goal and Dishler Laser helped me accomplish that! I would 100% recommend Dishler Laser to anyone and everyone!

The center is awesome, the docs are awesome, you feel very comfortable and they allow you to ask every question. Surgery day was simple, staff is caring. Now we wait for PRK healing and results (which they gently explain often this isn’t an immediate fix with PRK, it takes time). Photos is day 1,2,3 of right eye only.
