iLASIK™ at the Eye Institute 10 Clear Reasons
to Choose the Best!

1
Advanced Technology – Bladeless iLASIK

The Eye Institute is the region’s only provider of Bladeless iLASIK, which incorporates the exact same technology as the military utilizes for top pilots and NASA astronauts.
2

Lifetime Vision Plan

Black Hills Regional Eye Institute offers a lifetime enhancement policy, where other clinics only offer 18 or 24 month plans.
3

Laser Center Staff and “Family-Focused” Care

The Eye Institute has a dedicated clinic solely for refractive surgery. Immediately after meeting with us, you will understand why most patients feel “like one of the family”.
4

Direct-to-Doctor Contact

The decision on where to have eye surgery is one of the most important choices you will ever make, because of this, you will be given direct cell phone access to our team of doctors. This way, we are just a phone call away.
5

Safety First Approach

We pride ourselves on offering the best surgery for you and your eyes, whether it’s advanced surface treatment, ICL technology, refractive cataract surgery, or iLASIK. Not all clinics offer or perform all surgeries; some may perform a less optimum procedure because they don’t offer all options.

Co-management with your local Eye Doctor

We work with and offer education to all the optometrists in the region (Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska) to facilitate your care – making it easier for you to have the procedure, with less travel expense.

Refractive Focused Exam

The Eye Institute utilizes industry standards and focuses on the details of your eyes to get the best correction. Colvard Pupilometry, Orbscan II corneal analysis, Cyclopentolate Dilated eye exams, Wavescan Wavefront analysis and Tear Film Analysis are all givens to measure your eyes before surgery.

Dr. Paul Zimmerman and Dr. Scott Schirber

We have these most experienced team of doctors who understand your decision from your perspective. Dr. Zimmerman and Dr. Schirber have had surgery themselves, so they understand the concerns you have about who to trust with your vision.
