LASIK Eye Surgery
Schedule a free LASIK Consultation to see if LASIK is right for you. The maze of LASIK advertisements and choices can be overwhelming. Our doctors are knowledgeable about the evolution of refractive surgery technology and surgeon experience across the state throughout the last 30 years. Eye Clinic North is not affiliated with any surgeon or surgery center. Our referral patterns are based on evolutions in the industry, surgeon experience, and the specific procedure and needs of each patient.
Our goal is to provide a personalized experience with the very best visual outcome and the highest level of safety for every patient. To do so requires technology and surgeon experience that is simply not available locally. OVO LASIK + LENS is a premier state-of-the-art surgery center with a world-renowned surgeon, Dr. Lobanoff, right here in Minnesota. OVO was the first in the U.S. to offer the Wavelight Plus, a next-generation LASIK platform that uses ray-tracing to measure how light moves through the entire eye to create a tailored treatment plan enhancing the potential for clear, crisp vision, even in low-light environments. Patients of Eye Clinic North enjoy an exclusive $500 off discount on LASIK at OVO.
The doctors at Eye Clinic North provide local consultative, preoperative and postoperative care for 11 months and honor OVO’s Lifetime Assurance policy. Lifetime Assurance means you have committed partners, Eye Clinic North and OVO, to stand beside you and honor free LASIK “Touch-ups” to maximize your best vision potential throughout your lifetime.
In later years, as cataracts develop, the Lifetime Assurance will be extended to ADVANCED LENS OVO patients to optimize post-cataract surgery vision with a Laser Vision Correction touch-up.
Have you been told you are not a LASIK candidate? Technology is powerful and ever-changing. During your free evaluation, our doctors will discuss advanced laser technology and alternative surgical options such as EVO ICL, Light Adjustable Lens, Refractive Lens Exchange, or Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery.

Expectations
1. Pre-Op
LASIK Candidacy Exam (Complimentary)
Our doctors at Eye Clinic North will use advanced equipment to evaluate your eyes to determine if you are a good candidate. The doctors will discuss the procedure, expectations, risks, benefits, and answer questions you may have. OVO will review this data as well as collect their own advanced diagnostic information using specialized equipment.
2. Surgery
Preoperative Instructions – 60 min
At OVO, you’ll meet with an Optometrist to verify gathered information, confirm candidacy, and review informed consent. Relaxing in your personal LASIK suite, you’ll be given valium and all of the instructions and support to assure you are comfortable and your procedure goes smoothly and comfortably.
LASIK Procedure – 10 min
(Actual procedure time – 2 minutes per eye)
Using the most advanced technology in the world, Dr. Lobanoff walks you through the procedure step-by-step along with his team of some of the most experienced ophthalmic assistants in the industry.
Immediate Recovery – 2-6 hrs
You will be instructed to rest on the way home with your eyes closed. Continue resting when you get home and sleep through any initial burning or scratchy feeling.
3. Post-Op
Postoperative Visits – 15 min
You’ll see one of our doctors on your first day post-op. Many patients feel their vision is clear enough to drive and return to work the next day. Typical follow-up visits are scheduled at 1 day, 1 week and 6 weeks. All related visits are covered for 11 months + Lifetime Assurance. Routine eye care is recommended every 1-2 years after surgery and will be billed separately.
Recovery
Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, contact sports, and eye makeup for 1 week. Most people choose to take the first post-op day off from work, but that is optional. Your vision will continue to settle in and clear within the upcoming weeks and months. PRK recovery takes longer.
