how it works
SEE what you’ve been missing
Schedule a Consultation
Whether you are interested in LASIK, think you may have cataracts, or have another issue with your vision, we will strive to find a solution for you. We work with each patient to develop a personalized surgical plan based on lifestyle, vision goals, and eye health. Our goal is to make this experience simple and hassle-free while providing the highest level of care. You can expect a warm welcome, open communication, and clear and transparent pricing.
Find Your Solution
We offer a variety of Vision Correction procedures, but we will need to conduct a series of comprehensive tests to determine the best solution for you. This process starts with meeting your surgical counselor at the beginning of your consultation to review your information and discuss your goals. Next, you will be escorted to our testing area where our highly trained technicians will run you through several preliminary tests to gain more information on your eye health and vision. The doctor will meet with you, finish conducting the exam and will provide you with a diagnosis. Your surgical counselor will then review the diagnosis and help you select the best option for a long-term outcome.
Gain Vision Freedom
Our goal is to have our patients leave our offices with better vision. The freedom and peace of mind that comes with clear vision is priceless. Schedule a consultation now and start your journey to vision freedom today!
Our Solutions
Whether you are in your 20s and looking to be free from glasses and contacts, in your 40s and want to get out of reading glasses, or in your later years and dealing with cataracts, we want to find a solution for you.
LASIK and Laser Vision Correction
Laser vision correction procedures are some of the most popular elective surgeries in the United States. The three types of laser vision correction are SMILE, LASIK, and PRK. With Laser Vision Correction, we offer patients a chance to live life without a dependency on glasses and contacts, by using a laser to reshape the cornea.
Refractive Lens Exchange and Vision Correction Surgery
Refractive Lens Exchange and Implantable Contact Lenses are other types of Vision Correction Surgeries. They can be a good solution for patients who are noticing they need reading glasses or have very high prescriptions. Like Laser Vision Correction, the goal of RLE and ICL is to help patients live a life without glasses and contacts and the hassles associated with them.Â
Standard Cataract Surgery
The vast majority of people develop cataracts as they age. A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in your eye that leads to blurry and distorted vision, loss of vivid colors, and difficulty seeing at night. The only way to relieve cataract symptoms is to surgically remove the cataract and replace it with an intraocular lens implant. This common procedure is known as cataract surgery.Â
Cataract Surgery with Vision Freedom Option
As an upgrade to your standard cataract surgery, we offer our patients a solution called our Vision Freedom Option (VFO). With VFO for your cataract surgery, you will receive specialized testing before your procedure, the ability to pick a premium lens implant, and a LASIK touch-up if needed after your procedure. The goal of our Vision Freedom Option is to give our patients their best possible vision following their cataract surgery.Â

Patients of [Dr. Filutowski’s] that I know who have had procedures done at the Filutowski Eye Institute just rave about how they were treated… so there has never been any doubt in my mind about where I would go when I finally decided to have a procedure done… I really wish I had had this sooner… The day after SMILE I was able to do everything without any help. It’s just really incredible.

After LASIK, I feel fabulous. It’s given me back confidence and it’s freed me. The freedom to do whatever I need to do in life because I no longer have something I have to remember. I just loved the whole experience.

When my husband saw how well I was doing and how content and happy I was with my procedure, he decided “I have had enough with all these glasses laying around. So, I am going to go and have the exact same surgery with Dr. Filutowski.”Â

Before Refractive Lens Exchange, I had terrible vision… I just needed a change. I chose the Multifocal Lens.. I really felt this was the best lens for me. …[It] allows you to see distance, intermediate, and close up… It’s the best decision I ever made… I wish I had known about this procedure sooner.

Everybody’s professionalism has erased any doubts and fears during the surgical process. They explained everything that was going on, and went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable and happy. If you are having problems with your vision or you are wearing glasses, you need to see the man himself – Dr. Filutowski – because he is the BEST!

I had LASIK done with Dr. Filutowski, and the very next day I was seeing 2020! For years and years, I have been hearing about Dr. Filutowski and I did my own research about the practice and how experienced they are. They took good care of me and made me feel comfortable, the procedure was quick and painless. I am enjoying the fact that I don’t have to wear glasses!
