3 Lasers
More lasers on-site than any other LASIK centerOur commitment to offering the safest and most advanced laser technology is evident in our multi-million-dollar investment in three different laser vision correction platforms.
Our three unique laser platforms (more than anyone in Michigan) offer seven different treatment types. We are able to best match the unique optics of each eye to the best available laser technology and treatment to deliver superior results.

Zeiss VisuMax
The Zeiss Visumax is the worlds most advanced device for laser vision correction. The Visumax laser platform is utilized during the LASIK procedure during the flap creation process, as well as to perform SMILE vision correction. VisuMax is the fastest available laser in it’s class generating light pulses that are so short they do not heat or damage surrounding tissue resulting in fast, gentle, and predictable treatments.
VisuMax is manufactured by Zeiss a pioneer of optics and medical devices, from filming Lord of The Rings to capturing the Apollo moon landing Zeiss optical systems set the standard.
Laser Eye Institute introduced the first VisuMax in Michigan, and one of the first five in the United States in 2014. Currently our VisMax is one of only two in Michigan.
Key VisuMax Features
Unmatched Precision
VisuMax low laser energy results in a treatment that is precise and gentle. It’s speed enables application of treatments with minimal disruption to the eye.
Gentle By Design
VisuMax is the first laser to utilize a dock that is curved to match the natural curvature of the eye. Resulting in a comfortable and gentle experience for the patient.
Zeiss Optics
VisuMax and all optics are designed by Zeiss a leader in optical systems since 1846 that are reliable and precise ensuring consistent laser performance.
VISX Star S4 IR
The Star S4 IR excimer laser was originally designed and developed by VISX, now a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson, set the standard for laser vision correction in the United States. In fact, more LASIK is performed on the Star platform than any other excimer laser system. The Star laser sets the standard for both safety and results. It utilizes an eye-tracking system adopted from military technology to track eye movements on 4 axes over 1,000 times per second and adjusting the laser to any changes in eye movement.
When it comes to results the Star laser’s results are drive by wavefront guided custom treatment plans (commonly called a CustomVue treatment). This process involves using a wavefront aberrometer to beam waves of light into the eye and measure the response onto a sensor. This technology is able to detect minute optical imperfections not measurement through other means. This data is used to generate a treatment plan for each eye which is then applied by the Star laser resulting in outcomes that are twenty-five times more precise then conventional measurements used for glasses and contacts.
The Star laser also utilizes iris tracking technology used to improve both outcomes and safety. This feature registers unique landmarks on the iris when the Wavefront scans are taken. These iris landmarks are used by the laser to ensure the correct patient and eye are being treated. Additionally the iris landmarks are used ensure the laser treatment is precisely aligned with the eye, as little as 1 degree of treatment rotation can result in a degraded treatment, iris registration technology improves outcomes by eliminating the potential for treatment rotation errors.

Star Experts
Dr. Haddad is a national expert on the Star laser platform. Through his research he discovered an early flaw in the Star eye-tracking system and has lectured across the world on improving results with Star’s CustomVue technology.
Wavefront Precision
Unique eye maps are used to craft a treatment that uniquely corrects individual defects in optics. CustomVue treatments result in better outcomes especially for patients prone to halos or glare.
3D Active Track
Allows for eye tracking automatically across four axes. It positions the laser to insure accuracy and does not require you to hold your eye still like other non-tracking lasers so that you can relax during the treatment.
Zeiss MEL 80
MEL80 is an 8th generation excimer laser and the most recent LASIK laser to become FDA approved in the United Status. The MEL80 is manufactured by Zeiss a pioneer of optics and medical devices.
The MEL80 improves on tried-and-tested excimer laser technology with the widest FDA approval for treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism making it a great option for patients who may have not been a candidate for LASIK in the past. It features one of the smallest beam sizes of any LASIK laser resulting in the ability to precisely treat areas requiring more correction resulting in more precise outcomes.
Laser Eye Institute was the first center to offer the MEL80 in Michigan, and became the only center in Michigan to offer three unique laser platforms enabling us to best mix-and-match lasers to each patients’ eyes.
Key VisuMax Features
Wavefront Optimized Treatment
MEL80 utilizes a blended wavefront optimized treatment profile to greatly improve visual outcomes, especially for patients with high corrections.
Quick Treatment Times
MEL80’s speed results in the eye being exposed to the laser for shorter periods of times resulting in safer, more predictable outcomes.
Zeiss Optics
MEL80 and all optics are designed by Zeiss a leader in optical systems since 1846 that are reliable and precise ensuring consistent laser performance.
