Has been featured in numerous news segments aired on CBS, ABC, and PBS

Dr. Slade was selected by his peers for both “Best Doctors” and “Best Doctors in America”

I would like to highlight that during my surgery, they had someone hold my hand the entire time. This is just a small detail that really sets them apart, and shows their attention to detail and the patient experience. I personally worked with Dr. Slade, and he is the most charismatic and thoughtful doctor I have ever met. His focus on safety and attention to detail will make you feel taken care of from the moment he steps in the room.

Dr. Slade and his team restored my vision almost completely with double lens replacement. They are very patient with questions and very attentive throughout the process, including very conscientious after care. Recommend 100%

RLE is an effective, long-term solution for those not viable candidates for LASIK.

Over time, our natural lenses become less flexible, making it difficult to see up close. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) can help make your world look crisp and clear without readers or bifocals.
