Our exceptionally experienced surgeons, with the help of North America’s largest network of affiliated optometrists, aim to safely take away the limitations and inconvenience of glasses and contact lenses.
What Makes TLC Laser Eye Centers Different?

The ways in which we work with our patients’ primary eye doctors, both before and after their LASIK procedure, are unique. We believe this team-based care helps ensure a safer and more effective surgical outcome.
More than 7,000 doctors have chosen TLC for their own laser vision correction procedures– the ultimate endorsement.
