Who says just doing LASIK laser eye surgery all day, every day, is boring? Not me---- First of all, it is a cliche but very true that each and every patient is unique, and at TLC Tysons Corner in Mclean, Virginia, we treat all patients with a warm and caring touch, tailoring our procedure and our operative atmosphere to the individual.

• 1-3) LASIK eye surgery today is safer than ever. Thanks to many improved protocols, including better and more predictable pre-operative exams, improved pre-op medications to better prepare the patient for surgery, and greatly improved technology which we use during the procedure, serious complications are largely avoidable.

Hi Everyone! We just wanted to let you know that our doctors and staff are dedicated to being there for our patients. During this dicey weather, we forge through the snow to make it to the center for your surgeries and venture back out for your post op visits over the weekend.

Today was a great day of LASIK laser eye surgery for Dr Holzman and his fantastic team over at TLC Laser Eye centers in McLean, VA. We were very busy again today as this is prime LASIK season in Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland suburbs. Flex spending benefits that companies in this area provide their employees allow many interested myopes and farsighted people to get their Laser Eye Surgery as a pre-tax benefit, saving some people up to 40% off the cost.

Many patients want to know some very important issues concerning the safety of lasik laser eye surgery, a procedure in which the front window of the eye called the cornea is reshaped with lasers. Lasik Laser eye surgery is a two step process, the first step being where a thin film of the cornea called the flap is created and then lifted back. This used to be accomplished by using a metal blade to create an incision. this was a device called a microkeratome, and some ophthalmologists still use this technique. Dr Andrew Holzman, a board certified Corneal Specialist who has performed over 50,000 vision correction surgeries stopped using the bladed microkeratome 6 years ago. INTRALASE is a special eye laser that is BLADELESS and creates the thin flap WITHOUT the use of metal blades.
