You've paid for lenses, frames, and exams for years. LASIK is a one-time fix from board-certified surgeons, and most patients see clearly by the next day.
A one-on-one evaluation with a vision specialist, not a salesperson.
It never feels like much at the register. But it adds up, year after year, for the rest of your life.
Lenses, cases, and saline, reordered month after month, whether you love them or not.
A new pair every couple of years, anti-glare coatings, plus a yearly eye exam to keep the prescription current.
What the average wearer spends across two decades, just to keep seeing the way they already do.
LASIK often costs less than years of glasses and contacts. Ask us about financing and insurance.
Most patients are back to clear, functional vision the very next morning — driving, working, living.
A gentle, 10–15 minute procedure. Numbing drops mean no needles and no discomfort during treatment.
Stop paying for lenses, solution, and frames forever. Most patients recoup the cost within a few years.
FDA-approved, bladeless laser technology guided by a detailed 3D map of your eye.
There's no one-size-fits-all here. We map your eyes and match you to the procedure that actually fits your prescription and your life.
Metrolina Eye Associates brings together fellowship-trained surgeons and a full team of eye doctors — including Dr. Ivan Mac, Dr. Charles Blotnick, Dr. Christine Annunziata, and Dr. Luke Peterson. Refractive and cataract surgery is what they do, day in and day out.
Your consultation starts with mapping your eyes and understanding how you live, then matching you to the option that fits — whether that's LASIK, an implantable lens, or a lens-based procedure. If something isn't right for you, we'll tell you.
"I was terrified. I'd worn glasses since I was nine. The next morning I woke up and read the clock across the room, and I actually cried."
"Twenty years of contacts and dry eyes, gone. The team walked me through every step beforehand. Easiest big decision I've ever made."
"My prescription was too high for regular LASIK, so they recommended the EVO ICL. Best money I've ever spent. I see better now than I did in glasses."
Great vision shouldn't wait for the perfect time. We accept most vision and medical insurance for covered care, and flexible financing helps make elective procedures affordable.
Your evaluation is with a vision specialist whose only job is to tell you the truth — whether you're a candidate, which procedure fits, and what to honestly expect. No quotas. No hard sell. If it's not right for you, we'll tell you.
Board-certified surgeons focused on refractive and cataract care, not a one-size-fits-all clinic.

No. Numbing drops are applied before the procedure, so you won't feel pain — most patients describe only mild pressure for a few seconds. The treatment itself takes about 10–15 minutes for both eyes. Some patients feel mild scratchiness for a few hours afterward, easily managed with the drops we provide.
For LASIK and EVO ICL, most patients have functional vision the very next day and return to work within 24–48 hours. Lens-based options like refractive lens exchange and laser cataract surgery typically sharpen over a few days to a couple of weeks. Your surgeon will set clear expectations for the specific procedure that's right for you.
Most adults with stable vision and healthy eyes are candidates for at least one procedure — even if you've been told you're not a fit for traditional LASIK. That's exactly what your consultation determines. We map your eyes and review your prescription, corneal thickness, and health to recommend the safest, most effective option for you.
Cost depends on the procedure and your eyes, which is why we give you a clear quote at your consultation. We accept most vision and medical insurance for covered care, offer flexible financing for elective procedures, and accept HSA and FSA dollars.
Vision screenings are on us! Some consultations are free, while others may have a fee depending on your eye history and specific needs. Our team will give you the full picture.
