We at Greenberg Laser Eye Center are dedicated to individualized care. Dr. Dana Greenberg and her staff at our Troy, Michigan location believe in personal attention and will spend time with you getting to know your specific needs. This begins with education. We encourage you to visit our office for a FREE LASIK consultation with Dr. Greenberg.
You will begin by meeting our LASIK counselor who will discuss the details of the LASIK procedure with you. We will then perform preliminary diagnostic tests to determine if you are a LASIK surgery candidate. Dr. Greenberg will carefully examine your eyes, review your testing, and answer any questions you may have.
You will see Dr. Greenberg for your LASIK consultation, pre-op testing, your LASIK procedure, and your follow-up visits. We believe our patients deserve and expect the finest care.

“If I had to list out the best things that have ever happened to me they would rank like this. 1. My Wife. 2. My Kids. 3. LASIK procedure through Dr. Greenberg
This was one of the biggest and best decisions I’ve ever made. Dr. Greenberg and the team were great throughout the entire process and are always open to questions. It was quick, painless and I was back to work the next day. Not having to mess with contact lenses or glasses has been a major win and for that I am grateful.“

How LASIK Works
LASIK is the most commonly performed type of laser vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Dr. Greenberg performs all-laser LASIK using the Wavefront Optimized Wavelight laser with Iris Registration.
The LASIK procedure takes approximately 15 minutes to correct both eyes. You will go home with clear shields over your eyes for the first night following your procedure and you will be given a mild sleeping medication. Because of the extraordinary healing properties of your cornea, stitches are not needed after LASIK. The protective flap acts as a natural bandage, accelerating the healing process. You will return to see Dr. Greenberg the morning following your procedure for us to remove your eye shields and begin your drops.
LASIK offers a quick healing time and rapid visual recovery. Most patients see well immediately and can return to normal activities the following day. The only restrictions include no swimming, contact sports, or eye makeup for 2 weeks.

Yes, we partner with CareCredit. CareCredit offers interest-free financing with low fixed monthly payments. Don’t forget you can use your flexible spending tax-free dollars for your LASIK procedure.
