Your Local Experts in LASIK
St. Cloud Eye Clinic is the region’s premiere LASIK provider, offering unsurpassed vision care and leading laser technology. Our commitment to technology and comprehensive vision care ensures you receive the best possible outcome for your vision.
St. Cloud Eye Clinic surgeons were the first in central Minnesota to perform both modern cataract surgery and LASIK, and we have performed thousands of surgical procedures in the last 25 years. St. Cloud Eye Clinic is also the only practice in the region to maintain our own on-site LASIK Center.
Advanced Technology for Clearer Vision
Your eyes are unique, and your LASIK treatment should be too. At St. Cloud Eye Clinic, we use advanced laser platforms that allow for fully customized procedures based on your precise eye measurements. This technology helps us achieve sharper, more accurate results and often gives patients vision that’s even better than what they had with glasses or contacts.
Before your procedure, we’ll complete a detailed diagnostic scan to map the surface and curvature of your eyes. This ensures your treatment plan is tailored specifically to you, delivering safe, precise, and lasting results.
A Personalized Experience from Start to Finish
We believe great vision starts with great care. From your first consultation to your follow-up visits, our LASIK team takes time to understand your lifestyle, vision goals, and eye health. We’ll explain every step, answer every question, and help you feel confident in your decision.
Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, and that’s okay. Our experienced surgeons also offer alternative vision correction options to help you find the right path to clearer sight. Whatever your needs, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Patient Testimonials
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Not Delete
How long have you been performing vision correction procedures?
St. Cloud LASIK has been improving our patients’ lives by correcting vision using refractive technology since 1997.
How will I be able to find out if I am a good candidate for laser vision correction?
The first step is to schedule a free, no-obligation LASIK screening. Through a series of tests and measurements, our team will determine which procedure, if any, you qualify for.
Will I have 20/20 Vision following laser vision correction?
The goal of any refractive surgical procedure is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. However, we cannot guarantee you will have 20/20 vision as a result. Our commitment to you is that we will not perform laser vision correction on you or anyone we feel does not have a good possibility of achieving independence from glasses and contacts. The vast majority of our patients are extremely happy with their results and can do most activities without dependence on corrective lenses after laser vision correction.
Will there be pain during my LASIK procedure?
No. You will receive eye drops that eliminate any pain. The only thing you might feel is a little pressure while your flap is being created.
How will I keep my eyes open and still during the procedure?
The surgeon gently inserts a device that assists in keeping your eyes open during the procedure. Then, advanced tracking technology follows every eye movement to make sure every laser pulse is placed in an accurate location.
What does LASIK stand for?
LASIK is an acronym for “laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis.” You may recognize the Latin term in situ as meaning “in its original place.” Keratomileusis is Greek: kerato is a prefix meaning “cornea,” while mileusis means “to shape.” Essentially this describes LASIK as a procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea.
How long do you require contact lenses to be removed before the procedure?
Because contact lenses modify the shape of the cornea, they must be left out long enough for your eyes to return to their natural shape. Soft contacts must be left out for two weeks prior to the consultation. People wearing hard contacts may need to wait longer. Ask our office or your eye doctor when you should discontinue wearing them before your evaluation and procedure.
Why do I need follow-up care with my doctor after the procedure?
To achieve the best possible visual outcome, it is very important that your eyes are carefully examined and your vision is closely monitored during your recovery. Examinations are prescribed at significant intervals to ensure proper healing and stability of vision.
Can I make monthly payments?
Yes. We offer flexible monthly payment plans with excellent terms.
