Serving patients in Macedon, Geneva, Canandaigua, and surrounding Rochester-area communities in the Finger Lakes region.
What Is Laser Vision Correction (LASIK)?
Laser Vision Correction uses a cool-beam laser to reshape the cornea, allowing it to focus light more precisely on the retina. If you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, you may be able to achieve clearer sight and reduce your dependence on glasses and contacts.
For patients searching for LASIK in Rochester, NY and the surrounding Finger Lakes region, The Eye Care Center is recognized as the premier provider in the area. Dr. Holly B. Hindman, MD, MPH is highly trained in a number of laser vision correction procedures, including PRK and traditional LASIK.
About Our TENEO Excimer Laser
The Eye Care Center was the first ophthalmology practice in the tri-county area to have an on-site Excimer laser. We use the TENEO Excimer Laser, a modern, advanced platform designed for precise refractive eye surgery. The TENEO began use at The Eye Care Center on October 31, 2025, and is the first FDA-approved Excimer laser in 17 years.
The Eye Care Center is the first and only practice in New York State with this laser, which is the fastest ablative laser in the U.S. Used in conjunction with the VICTUS Femtosecond platform, the TENEO brings improved visual outcomes and enhanced patient comfort and experience.
Am I a Candidate for Laser Vision Correction?
You may be a good candidate if you meet the following criteria:
- You are 21 years of age or older
- You are not pregnant
- You have healthy eyes with no significant medical eye problems
- You experience nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
The best way to determine your candidacy is through a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Hindman. She will evaluate your vision, measure your eyes, and perform corneal topography to assess the surface shape of your cornea. Many patients find the best time to get LASIK is when their prescription has been stable for at least one to two years and their overall eye health is strong.
What to Expect: Your LASIK Journey
1. Pre-Operative Evaluation
Your vision is evaluated, eyes are measured, and corneal topography is completed to map the surface of your cornea. Medical history is reviewed to rule out any conditions that may affect surgery.
2. The Procedure
The surgery itself is painless. Numbing drops are used throughout. The cool-beam laser precisely reshapes the cornea. The procedure is quick, and most patients notice improved vision almost immediately.
3. Recovery
The eye heals on the surface within a day or two. Most patients return to work within one to two days. Some may experience mild discomfort, comparable to a sensation of sand in the eye, for one to three days.
4. Long-Term Results
Eyes should be protected from infection and injury for a month or two to allow complete healing. Millions of patients worldwide have had this treatment performed successfully, with lasting results.
