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.
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. Generally, people return to their best possible vision following standard cataract surgery.
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.

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.

My vision before LASIK wasn’t the best… I would tell someone who plans on having LASIK just to not worry about it. Dr. Filutowski and his staff really makes it easy, simple, and painless… it was definitely life changing. I chose Dr. Filutowski for one main reason… I want someone working on my eyes to be the best.

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.”
Dora F.
Cataract patient
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.
