The freestanding, state-of-the-art Outpatient Eye Surgery Center is dedicated to total eye care—from cataract to LASIK surgery and treatment for diabetic retinopathyand macular degeneration.
Progressive Vision Institute has been helping families see better for almost three decades. The brand-new Outpatient Eye Surgery Center is located in a 12,000-square-foot medical center. The building also includes an on-site optical shop that offers a wide variety of premium eyeglasses and contact lenses, patient exam rooms and a MediSpa.
Progressive Vision Institute was founded by Solomon C. Luo, MD, FACS—one of the first physicians in the area to use the excimer laser to perform surgery to correct nearsightedness. Better known as Laser Vision Correction or LASIK. It has since become a main concentration in Dr. Luo's practice. He has performed thousands of procedures.
Today, the physicians of Progressive Vision Institute comprise a dream-team of doctors who can perform virtually all ophthalmic surgeries. They specialize in cataract surgery, LASIK & refractive eye surgery, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, vitreo-retinal disease and surgery, pediatric retina, oculoplastics, cosmetic treatments, dry eye management, tear lab and allergy testing. Most locations have a full-service optical center for general eye care needs, including glasses and contact lens examinations. Progressive Vision participates in most major insurances.
