Wolfe Eye Clinic Surgeons Successfully Correct 25,000 Eyes With LASIK
October 1, 2007
Wolfe Eye Clinic, the largest and most advanced eye care provider in Iowa, celebrates the successful correction of 25,000 eyes with LASIK surgery; the only clinic in Iowa with this distinction. Technology advancements have dramatically changed laser vision correction over the years, but the clinic’s dedication to offering the highest quality patient care remains the same.
“I feel very fortunate to be able to provide LASIK surgery to the patients of Wolfe Eye Clinic,” says Wolfe Eye Clinic surgeon Steven C. Johnson, MD. “This milestone of 25,000 eyes having had laser vision correction demonstrates Wolfe Eye Clinic’s commitment to our patients. The clinic has made a commitment to investing in educated staff, advanced technology, state-of-the-art facilities, as well as a personalized commitment to have the physicians provide care throughout the entire evaluation and surgical process.”
In 1994, Wolfe Eye Clinic was the first clinic in Iowa to offer laser vision correction. Two years later, they expanded those services to include LASIK surgery. By 2000, Wolfe Eye Clinic was the first to obtain and use the IntraLase laser for LASIK procedures, offering a bladeless, all-laser procedure to Iowans- the most advanced technology available for LASIK.
LASIK patient Heather Warren of Des Moines, who had surgery in January of 2007, says physician experience, patient care and trust definitely played a factor in her decision to go to Wolfe Eye Clinic.
“I chose Wolfe Eye Clinic because of their great track record and reputation,” says Warren. “The doctors and staff at Wolfe Eye Clinic are so knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciated being able to go through the entire process with Dr. Johnson, from meeting with him during my evaluation to discuss the procedure and have all my questions answered, all the way up to and following the day of the actual surgery.”
“Wolfe Eye Clinic takes pride in its’ 85+ year history in which many medical and surgical milestones were achieved,” says Johnson. “This milestone of 25,000 eyes treated with LASIK surgery reminds each of the Wolfe Eye Clinic physicians that many Iowans trust their eye care to us, and therefore, we are encouraged to continue our commitment to them.”
