Refractive & cataract surgery · outcomes published
See everything.
Twenty-four thousand eyes corrected in eleven years. Laser suites two floors up, surgeons who publish their numbers, and a morning — very soon — when you wake up and the ceiling is in focus.
The demonstration · drag it
This is −4.50 dioptres.
The street below is how a typical myopic patient sees it, halos included. Drag the slider and do in two seconds what we do in eleven minutes.
Procedures · read down the chart
Four ways to 20/20.
From scan to ceiling, in focus.
The scan
Forty minutes, eleven instruments, zero puffs of air in your eye (we retired that machine, you're welcome). You leave knowing your corneal map and your options — or knowing surgery isn't for you, which one in five scans concludes.
Verdict — same visit
Declined as unsuitable — ~20%
The eleven minutes
Numbing drops, a laser that tracks your eye a thousand times a second, and a surgeon who has done this twenty-four thousand times. The strangest part, patients say, is the soundtrack: you pick the playlist.
Pain — pressure, not pain
Playlist — yours
The morning
You wake, and the ceiling has edges. The 8 am check confirms what you already know on the drive in — most patients read the 20/20 line and then read it again, slower, to be sure.
Back at work — day 2, typically
The surgeons
Dr. Maren Vela & Dr. Arjun Rao
Between them: 24,000 procedures, two fellowship programs trained, and a rule that has never bent — the surgeon who scans you is the surgeon who operates. No handoffs, no surprise faces above the laser.
Outcomes · published every January, audited
We publish what others imply.
I cried at the 8 am check. Not because of the chart — because I could see the rain on the window behind it.
