Company History
Every patient who chooses Laser Eye Center of Carolina for his or her vision correction procedure gets the "VIP" treatment. Dr. Dean Dornic and his staff do everything possible to ensure the success and safety of their treatment.
At Laser Eye Center of Carolina, we believe that LASIK surgery for our Raleigh / Durham patients requires aseptic (sterile) conditions. Did you know that some eye surgeons still perform their procedures in street clothes and bare hands? Why not insist that risks be minimized?
To ensure only the safest LASIK surgery for our Raleigh / Durham patients, each receives both preoperative and postoperative antibiotic eye drops. In addition, every member of the surgical team wears scrubs, surgical masks, caps, and gloves. Whenever possible, disposable, rather than reusable, supplies are used. In addition, we are one of the few centers in the region to utilize the Cox dry heat sterilizer, which is felt to significantly reduce the risk of infection and inflammation.
Other features of the center that may be less obvious but still contribute significantly to a positive patient experience include state-of-the-art topography equipment and a climate-controlled laser room, in which both temperature and humidity are regulated to ensure stable laser operating room conditions and results that are more predictable. Our treatment protocol also includes testing the laser and other instruments between every single laser procedure. We constantly track our results in an effort to make sure that we continue to provide the level of excellent vision that patients have come to expect from us.
