Ophthalmologists are the only eye doctors trained to perform laser eye surgery. They went to medical school just like brain and heart surgeons. Trust your eyes to an eye surgeon—an ophthalmologist. No shortcuts.

No shortcuts. Surgeons attend medical school. Ophthalmologists attend medical school just like heart and brain surgeons.
