Dr. Pasternak has over 25 years of experience as a refractive surgeon with the United States military. As a participant in the FDA trials to approve laser surgery in the US, Dr. Pasternak was the first military eye surgeon in the US to perform refractive surgery. He founded the Laser Vision Center at Bethesda Naval Hospital, and developed and ran the program to offer LASIK to US Naval Academy midshipmen, opening up career options for over 8,000 new military officers over the last 20 years. Dr. Pasternak was instrumental in studies determining the safety and effectiveness of LASIK surgery in Navy and Marine Corps aviators, which ultimately led to the approval of LASIK surgery for all warfighters. Dr. Pasternak has performed over 10,000 eye surgeries and has trained over 80 surgeons in the art of refractive surgery. Dr. Pasternak now brings his
years of experience of performing and studying LASIK surgery, and his dedication to safety, predictability and the best

This was one of the best thing a I have ever done. It was quick easy and the recovery was not that bad. Is it freaky, Yes. But I can assure you it was worth it.

Although it was my second time getting this done the doctor is great and made my experience less stressful and very kind and explained what was going on each step of the way

They have def mastered the art of getting people in and out! I waited over 2 hours but once they started the process i was done from start to finish in 15 min. Two parts and the first part is 10 sac per eye and the second part is 15 sec per eye. Couldn’t feel a thing and didn’t even know when they started so next thing i knew they were counting down from 5 sec and i was done. They’re quick which makes it easier to not think about it. Major thing is going home and sleeping after. Slept for 5 hours and woke up and was fine. No burning or feeling like sand in my eyes (which is possible and normal). Just felt things were rushed prior and left having some questions about after care. They give toy instructions for after care but you sign and they keep. I recommend copying it or asking for a copy. But other then that no problems and the entire staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. They all made you feel so comfortable.
