More than a decade ago, medical researchers began to explore the idea that, using laser technology, they could dramatically improve visual acuity for people suffering from a variety of common sight disorders. Since that time, the technologies and surgical techniques have been perfected to the point where laser vision correction is now a safe, non-invasive, painless procedure with the ability to help hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
I personally have had the privilege of performing laser vision treatments since the procedure was first developed and, from my experience, I know how remarkable the results can be. By freeing themselves of their dependence on glasses and contact lenses, my patients have been able to enjoy sports more fully, advance career opportunities, improve their appearance, and simply feel more secure and confident.
In 1996, I joined forces with businesswoman Cherry Tabb and established the Herzig Eye Institute in downtown Toronto, where I serve as medical director and chief surgeon. Together, we established the Herzig Eye Institute with a clear commitment: to provide exceptional clinical results in laser vision correction by facilitating a partnership between world-class surgeons and eye care practitioners, thereby dramatically improving the quality of life through better vision. Now recognized as an authority in the laser vision correction industry, our partnership relentlessly pursues an unsurpassed standard of quality, which is reflected in the excellent visual results achieved in a very comfortable environment.
If you've been contemplating laser vision correction, I strongly recommend that you call the Herzig Eye Institute for a complimentary eye examination and consultation to determine if you are a candidate for this remarkable procedure. It may well be the first step toward a lifetime of improved, unaided vision.

The Herzig Eye Institute provides a lifetime commitment of care related directly to laser vision correction services performed at the Herzig Eye Institute. If an additional procedure is deemed medically necessary, it will be performed free of charge, provided you have returned to see the ophthalmologist or optometrist managing your care for the required number of post-op examinations and have maintained regular annual eye examinations. Follow-up care is as important as the actual procedure.
As with any surgical procedure, results may vary from patient to patient. However, based on the results of thousands of cases, we can predict an excellent outcome for the vast majority of LASIK vision correction treatments.
