Why MSH
Great vision without glasses, in just minutes.
Our standard of care means treating your eyes like we would our own family's. We use the best technology. We don't offer you something cheaper that isn't as good. We triple check every surgical measurement.
That's why we adopted WaveLight Plus LASIK with SightMap™. Pair it with outcomes data from more than 65,000 procedures across 28 years and we can customize your treatment down to the microscopic level — so you see 20/20 or better, potentially sharper than you ever did in glasses or contacts.
The technology
Smarter diagnostics, down to the light ray.
Traditional systems measure only the front of the eye. SightMap™ technology uses ray-tracing to track thousands of light rays as they pass through your entire eye — front to back — letting your surgeon detect subtle optical irregularities that older technology can miss.
- More accurate corrections
- Sharper nighttime vision
- Better results for complex prescriptions
- Enhanced contrast and depth perception
That 3D map drives the WaveLight Plus LASIK laser, which delivers most treatments in under 10 seconds per eye.
Real-world results
The biggest leap forward in decades.

The Clear Vision Club
Real patients. Real results.
The procedure
What actually happens on surgery day.
Numbing drops
Anesthetic drops only — no scalpels, no stitches, no needles at any point.
A thin layer is lifted
Your surgeon folds back a thin layer of tissue from the surface of the cornea.
The laser reshapes
The WaveLight Plus LASIK laser follows your SightMap — under 10 seconds of treatment per eye, about three to five minutes in the chair from start to finish.
You go home seeing
The tissue is folded back and bonds quickly. Vision improves within hours; most return to work the next day.
LASIK — Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis — reshapes the cornea to correct the most common forms of vision impairment: myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. With WaveLight Plus LASIK, the reshaping isn't based on a standard prescription: it follows the 3D ray-traced map of your own eye, captured before surgery day.
Candidacy
Is LASIK right for you?
Your eyes are as unique to you as your fingerprints, so the only way to know is a personal examination. WaveLight Plus LASIK treats a broader range of prescriptions than earlier platforms, and recent advances — some pioneered here — now correct problems that couldn't be fixed a few years ago.
- You're nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism
- You're at least 18 years old
- You have healthy corneas
- Your vision has been stable for at least one year
If LASIK isn't your best option, your surgeon will tell you so — and walk you through alternatives like PRK, EVO ICL, or Refractive Lens Exchange.

Benefits of a virtual consultation
We measure your vision and assess corneal thickness, dryness, retina and your overall medical and ocular history. Corneal mapping and SightMap analysis build a detailed “fingerprint” of your vision — far more precise than a glasses or contact lens prescription. The scans are quick and painless.
You'll also tour our surgical suite and recovery area. After reviewing your results, your surgeon determines whether LASIK is the right option for you.
Time in surgery is three to five minutes per eye. You're in and out the same day. Healing for most patients is fast enough that vision improves within hours, and many return to work the next day.
Conventional LASIK planning measures the front surface of the cornea. WaveLight Plus LASIK uses SightMap™ ray-tracing to follow thousands of light rays through the whole eye, front to back, so the treatment corrects irregularities older systems never see. Most treatments run under 10 seconds per eye.
We also offer wavefront-optimized treatments and PRK. Based on your measurements, your surgeon selects the approach that fits your eyes — informed by outcomes data from more than 65,000 procedures over 28 years.

What patients say afterward.
“Dr. Hura really took the time to make sure LASIK was the right decision for me. I appreciated his patience and carefulness. The procedure was quick and painless. The entire staff were extremely kind and friendly.”
“Had LASIK at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute, and it was the best decision ever! The team made me feel completely comfortable, the procedure was quick and smooth, and the results are life-changing. Highly recommend!”
“Best decision I've made! I did same-day ‘fast track’ LASIK. Dr. Shamie was nothing short of incredible. I felt so safe and cared for. Should have done this 10 years ago. If you're on the fence, DO IT!”
“Dr. Hura did such an amazing job and was so great to work with. He answered all of my questions, was super supportive, and I've been loving the results of my LASIK! I'd call this experience quite a luxury.”
