Laser Eye Center – Your San Fernando Valley LASIK Provider in Encino
Dr. Shammas firmly believes that each patient should receive a comprehensive exam before deciding how to move forward with treatment. His LASIK patients benefit from leading-edge wavefront technology, which is used in conjunction with the custom LASIK procedure to identify even the minutest imperfections in corneal curvature. This technology creates a corneal map that is used when calibrating the laser to correct the patient’s vision.
Though not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK, there are several viable alternatives to LASIK that can be used, depending on an individual patient’s needs. PRK is a procedure similar to LASIK that, like LASIK, can result in significant vision improvement. Implantable contact lenses (ICLs), also called phakic IOLs, are another good option. Dr. Shammas offers Verisyse and other ICLs.

“I am enjoying the benefits of the LASIK procedure from Laser Eye Center of Los Angeles. I just had my four-month check-up and continue to see 20/20. Each day, I marvel at the vision correction technology and the skills of the doctors at Laser Eye Center. I want to extend a heartfelt note of thanks to the entire staff.
“Almost two years ago I made the “decision” to visit the Laser Eye Center of Los Angeles. I was very nervous, but the wonderful staff calmed my fears while I had the vision correction surgery. Now, I can’t believe that I waited so long. There was no pain and very little recovery time. As soon as it was over, I knew that my life would change forever – and it did. I could see right away. The next morning, I played 18 holes of golf. I still can’t believe it!!!”
“Thank you, Laser Eye Center of Los Angeles! I’m thrilled that my vision has been permanently corrected with the LASIK procedure. From waking up and being able to see the clock and read-out on my nightstand, to driving, watching television, even putting on make-up – being able to see clearly without wearing glasses is truly amazing! I had the procedure done on a Friday and went to the mall that weekend and bought a pair of non-prescription sunglasses. What a treat! Thanks again.” —Cindy Davis, KOLA 99.9 FM
