Dr. Griffin performs his all-laser LASIK procedures using the cutting-edge Alcon WaveLight® EX500 excimer laser. The WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser is designed to provide patients with a high level of precision and reliability.
No two eyes are alike and Wavefront-Optimized LASIK is designed to treat the uniqueness of your eye. With sophisticated measurements of your cornea and using the most advanced technology, Wavefront-Optimized LASIK has been able to provide patients with a greater chance of 20/20 vision compared to traditional LASIK. The incidence of glare and halos is now much lower with custom treatments, giving a higher quality of vision to our LASIK patients.

At Griffin Eye Center we are committed to bringing our patients the absolute best and latest in eye care technology. We are therefore excited to announce the incorporation of a new, groundbreaking treatment in dry eye, MGD and blepharitis (lid inflammation) called BlephEx.
