The highest quality patient care, cutting-edge research and education leadership come together at the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Eye Institute, making us the leading vision care center in southeastern Wisconsin. Our team of experts, John D. Suson, MD, and Vinicius De Stefano, MD, PhD, are our comprehensive ophthalmologists who perform refractive surgery. Combining their years of experience and expertise in the field and use of the latest technology in laser vision correction, our physicians are among the most trusted LASIK and refractive surgeons in southeastern Wisconsin.

Learn more about the procedures we provide:

• Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK): Precision meets innovation in LASIK, where a delicate flap is meticulously crafted using advanced laser technology on the cornea’s top layer. Subsequently, another laser expertly sculpts the underlying tissue, paving the way for enhanced vision.
• Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK): Tailored for those with a thin cornea, PRK involves a gentle removal of the top surface of the cornea. The excimer laser then reshapes the underlying tissue, offering a sophisticated solution for vision enhancement, without the need for a flap.
• Contoura® Vision: experience the pinnacle of personalized laser vision correction with Contoura®. This topography-guided treatment, applicable to both LASIK and PRK procedures, optimizes the corneal surface to elevate your visual acuity to its maximum potential.
• Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL): The EVO ICL is a posterior chamber implant that is inserted through a small incision in the eye behind the iris, and in front of the natural crystalline lens to correct your nearsightedness. The EVO ICL is designed for the correction of moderate-to-high nearsightedness and astigmatism. ICL represents an alternative to other refractive surgeries such as LASIK and PRK. The EVO ICL is intended to remain in place without maintenance. However, the EVO ICL can be removed if needed.
• Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): Distinguished from laser vision correction, RLE leaves the cornea untouched. Instead, it involves the removal of the crystalline lens, replaced by a custom-made lens tailored to your specific prescription. RLE presents a sophisticated solution for vision refinement while preserving the integrity of the cornea.

At the Medical College of Wisconsin, we believe in a personal, caring and professional approach to eye care. That’s why we encourage patients to talk directly with our surgeons before making a decision about LASIK eye surgery. The appointment will last approximately two hours.

During your consultation, here is what will occur:

• Complete eye exam
• Computerized mapping of the cornea
• Undilated and dilated measurements of your prescription
• Evaluation of the medical health of your eyes
• Personalized determination of your qualification as a good blade-free LASIK candidate
• Education on the advantages of the Alcon’s Wavefront LASIK techniques compared to other technologies

To schedule your consultation, please call 414-955-7812 or fill out our Contact Us form, and our dedicated, knowledgeable staff will contact you.

And remember, at other “chain” LASIK centers, you may not have the opportunity to meet and discuss your LASIK surgery with a surgeon prior to the actual procedure. Your exam and education may be delegated to non-surgeons, technicians, and sales staff. Your only opportunity to talk directly to your surgeon at these centers may only come when a problem occurs.
