LASIK Surgery

LASIK is a lifechanging procedure that can correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism for clearer vision and a better quality of life. At DLV Vision, our exceptional team provides customized LASIK treatment plans that give you the vision that fits your lifestyle.

What is LASIK Eye Surgery?


LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea, or front, of your eye using ultraprecise lasers. When your eye is the wrong shape, it distorts your vision, but LASIK can correct this and enhance your vision with an outpatient procedure. This can reduce, or even eliminate, your need for corrective eyewear. All of our LASIK surgeries are completely customized to each patient, so they get the experience, and vision, that they deserve.

 The DLV Vision Experience

LASIK Benefits


LASIK is an incredibly safe procedure that can greatly enhance your vision and reduce or even eliminate your need for corrective eyeglasses. After your LASIK surgery, you won’t have to concern yourself with keeping track of your glasses or wondering if you’re seeing your best. And while you can’t put a price on that worry-free clarity, LASIK also means you won’t have to purchase eyewear or get as many eye exams, saving you a fortune in the long run!

How Much Does LASIK Cost? Less Than Ever!


The cost of LASIK eye surgery depends on a variety of factors, which our team will go over with you during a consultation. As LASIK is an elective surgery, it’s typically not covered by insurance, although some plans may cover a portion of it. Advanced LASIK is more affordable than it ever has been before, and we’re happy to accept a variety of financing options, FSAs & HSAs, and payment types for the procedure to make exceptional eyesight truly accessible.

How It Works


The front of the cornea tends to return to its original shape, but the layers just beneath can be operated on for permanent enhancement. That’s why, during LASIK surgery, we use industry-leading lasers to create a small protective flap of corneal tissue, then lift up part of it and painlessly alter the curvature of your eye. The top layer of cornea is put back in place, and your eye should fully heal in a matter of weeks with new and improved vision!

The Three Steps of LASIK


  1. The doctor creates a small protective flap of corneal tissue with a femtosecond laser, which is lifted and folded back.
  2. The doctor uses the laser to apply a cool beam of light that reshapes your cornea and corrects your vision.
  3. The doctor gently repositions the flap and the healing process begins immediately.

See Clearly Without Glasses or Contacts


Enjoy a lifetime of crystal-clear vision, without the need for corrective eyewear!

Our High-Tech LASIK Surgery


We use two corresponding LASIK lasers, the Ziemer FEMTO Z8 laser and the Nidek, which lets us treat a greater range of vision needs: one laser is dedicated to creating the small corneal flap, while the other solely focuses on reshaping the eye. This advanced suite of technology means more precision, more efficiency, more comfort, and a shorter recovery time for patients.

Your Fast Recovery and Results


While LASIK surgery is painless and has little downtime, you won’t be able to drive immediately after your appointment. You’ll likely notice some improvement in about a day, but it will take about a week to notice significant enhancement. You should be able to return to normal activities within a few days of your procedure, but since we utilize customized treatment plans, every patient will have a different experience. After your surgery, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments so we can ensure you’re still seeing clearer than ever! Typically, patients are able to achieve 20/20 vision or even better!

I had evo ICL surgery last week and Dr. Dougherty and his team were incredible! My first consultation appointment was in December, and Dr. Dougherty spent 30 minutes on the phone with my parents walking through options afterwards (we decided I’d go with evo ICL instead of LASIK due to my thin corneas and dry eyes). Dr. Dougherty made me feel truly looked after and comfortable! After my consultation I went out of town for a few months so I had to push back my surgery. Christina did an amazing job helping coordinate, arranging pre-op and post-op appointments, and getting me all the info I needed! The entire DLV team was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The procedure itself wasn’t painful (I just felt pressure) and the recovery was quick. I now have 20-15 vision and would highly recommend DLV vision to anyone looking to get any kind of eye procedure - they are absolutely incredible!! 🙂

I had a consultation via phone and they provided great service. They called my in advance and there was no wait time unlike other offices. They offered to give me much more information instead of sweeping it under the rug. I was informed about the risks and I feel much more comfortable about the procedure now that I know I’ll be in good hands. I plan on going forth with LASIK soon.

Dr Paul Dougherty did my LASIK recently, and I have to tell you...the experience was nothing short of exquisite. From beginning to end, he walked me through everything and it was seamless. Calm, cool, comfortable. Not to mention the staff made me feel right at home. I wouldn't trust my eyes with anyone else.

I was referred over to Dr. Doughtery for cross-linking procedure. His team is absolutely great and he always puts patient care first. He was very clear with communication and I am greatly to have worked with him. His staff member Christina Simental was absolutely great to work with and she really made the process easy for me to understand. Thank you very much for making it a great experience, Christina!

Jamie is a manager for these offices and she helped me with getting my prescription eye drops approved.
Originally, I worked with the office personnel for nearly 3 weeks but we kept getting denied by my insurance company.
Once Jamie took over the situation, the problem was solved that day within hours.
I really appreciate Jamie's hard work and dedication to her clients welfare.

I am a patient of Dr. Shah. He recently came to DLV and I had to follow him from his previous employer. Dr. Shah and the staff were very friendly and efficient and I strongly recommend Dr. Shah if you are in need of a retina doctor or any other of your eye care needs.

I underwent cataract surgery and a followup laser procedure to clear the lenses.  Dr. Dougherty is an excellent surgeon, extremely thorough and precise.  I felt confident that I was in good hands.  He is kind and caring.  I would recommend him highly.

Great experience! I was having difficulty with some eye problems and they were able to squeeze me in when they were booked solid. I felt very comfortable and the technician was very helpful in explaining everything I needed to know. The doctor was great and I walked out understanding what I needed to know about my eye.

Overall great experience. Lucy was very helpful leading up to my surgery date and made sure I had everything I needed. Payment was simple and easy as well. Day of surgery was a breeze! Everyone was so helpful and professional and you can tell they go above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience possible. The surgery was a little intimidating but Dr. Dougherty and his staff made sure I was as comfortable as possible. It's been less than 24 hours and I have no pain or discomfort and my vision is 20/15! It is truly life changing. Special shout out to Dr. Dougherty, both Dianas, Lucy, Lilly, and Jazmin for making this such a great experience. You guys are awesome!
