What does the path to clearer vision actually look like? In this video, Dr. Jeff Machat invites you into the LASIK Vision Institute in Charlotte, North Carolina, to walk you through the modern laser eye surgery process.
With over 33 years of experience and 107,000 procedures performed, Dr. Machat understands that while the technology is advanced, the patient experience is what matters most. He breaks the 10-minute procedure down into its two essential steps:
- Step 1: The Computerized Flap – A precise, 30-second step that sets the foundation for your new vision.
- Step 2: The Prescription Laser – The actual correction phase, which takes only 60 seconds per eye.
Whether you’re nervous about the “actual laser time” or you’re someone who is too sensitive to even use eye drops, Dr. Machat explains why this 90-second correction is faster, safer, and easier than most patients ever anticipated. Watch now to see how the Charlotte team uses world-class technology to change the way you see the world.
Not all eyes are created equal, so why should your LASIK procedure be “off the rack”?
Join world-renowned surgeon Dr. Jeff Machat—who has performed over 107,000 procedures—as he breaks down the revolutionary shift from standard laser eye surgery to high-definition, custom technology. In this video, you’ll discover how we use a grid of 22,000 individual measurements to map your cornea with 25x more accuracy than traditional methods.
Whether you’re concerned about night vision or curious if you can achieve better than 20/20, Dr. Machat explains how modern precision makes the “impossible” possible.
If you have astigmatism, you might think LASIK isn’t an option for you. Think again. In this quick video, Dr. Gary Legault breaks down what astigmatism really is (hint: it’s not as scary as it sounds) and explains how today’s advanced laser technology can reshape your cornea to correct it. Whether you have a little or a lot of astigmatism, discover why LASIK could be the vision solution you’ve been looking for.
The question everyone asks: “Is LASIK safe?” In this video, we cut through the fear and provide the facts.
We cover 40 years of advancements—from the FDA-approved Eximer lasers to modern 3D diagnostic mapping—explaining exactly why the risks of today’s all-laser procedure are extremely low. Learn what common side effects to expect during healing, and discover why the risk of infection is actually lower than wearing contacts. This video ensures you are comfortable and well-informed before making your decision.
Wondering how long LASIK results really last? While most patients enjoy clear vision for decades, factors like age, prescription strength, and overall eye health can play a role. More than 90% of LASIK recipients achieve 20/20 vision or better post-procedure (Refractive Surgery Council, 2017), and LASIK boasts an unprecedented 96% patient satisfaction rate—the highest of any elective procedure (Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, Vol. 42, Issue 8, August 2016). In this video, we explain what to expect, how modern advancements like Wavefront-guided lasers improve durability, and simple steps—like regular eye exams and UV protection—to help maintain your results. Say goodbye to glasses and contacts with confidence, knowing LASIK can provide long-lasting, life-changing vision.
