About Our LASIK Center

Cornerstone Eye Associates has delivered high quality eye care to the Rochester area for the last 50 years. In addition to our long history of excellence in ophthalmic surgery, our refractive surgeon, Omar Hanuch, MD, has been involved in refractive surgery through research and clinical practice for over 20 years.

At Cornerstone Eye Associates we believe that making your visual goals attainable is a team effort. Whether you see Dr. Hanuch, Dr. Chaisson or Dr. Tresansky they will take the time to discuss your visual requirements for work, family, social and sporting activities. This allows for the customization of the procedure to fit your individual needs. We utilize Nidek’s state-of-the-art technology to assure rapid detection of any contraindications or possibility of rare complications early in the evaluation process.

Our Nidek Quest Excimer custom laser sets a new standard in laser vision correction, the only laser system in the upper NY Region with the latest FDA-approved technology: topography-guided custom treatments. This advanced technology also has proven to reduce the symptoms of glare, halos, and poor night vision associated with higher order aberrations, or the subtle refractive errors in your vision.

At Cornerstone Eye Associates, we closely monitor every step of your experience and follow a strict protocol to ensure the best results and safety. Our experienced staff has been involved in thousands of surgical procedures and understands the meaning of surgical safety.

In a study comparing the effectiveness of available LASIK lasers in the US, the Nidek Quest laser outperformed the other lasers with better outcomes 6-months after the treatment! Our combined results approach 95% of 20/20 or better vision. We are able to achieve this high level of accuracy by applying our own treatment nomogram (a set of measurements specific to each patient) that is entered into the laser before performing refractive surgery. Nomograms are calculated by evaluating patient treatment results over the years.

We offer the best value in the region when you consider our experience and investment in unique and cutting edge equipment and technology. We are able to achieve this by combining our LASIK center with our large general Ophthalmology practice, therefore reducing our overhead expenses and reflecting these savings in our low fees without compromising quality.
