Dr. Michael Rolfsen is one of Waco's only ophthalmologists with military refractive surgery experience. Blade-free, custom-wavefront LASIK performed by the surgeon who trained on the most demanding patients in medicine.
Not every eye is a LASIK candidate. Dr. Rolfsen evaluates your corneal thickness, prescription, and pupil size to recommend the procedure that delivers the best outcome for you specifically.
Blade-free, all-laser procedure. A thin corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser, then an excimer laser reshapes the underlying tissue. Fast recovery, minimal discomfort, excellent outcomes for most prescriptions.
Photorefractive Keratectomy — no flap is created. The surface epithelium is gently removed and the excimer laser is applied directly. Slightly longer recovery but excellent long-term outcomes, especially for athletes or patients with thin corneas.
Implantable Collamer Lens — a tiny lens is implanted behind the iris without removing corneal tissue. Ideal for patients with extreme nearsightedness or those who are not LASIK/PRK candidates. Reversible procedure.
The natural crystalline lens is replaced with a premium IOL — eliminating glasses dependence and preventing future cataracts simultaneously. The preferred option for patients over 45 with moderate to high prescriptions.
Corneal topography, pachymetry (thickness), wavefront analysis, and a detailed refraction. Dr. Rolfsen personally reviews your results.
Dr. Rolfsen reviews your maps, selects the optimal treatment algorithm, and answers every question. No scripted sales pitch.
Blade-free flap creation with femtosecond laser. Custom wavefront excimer ablation. Flap repositioned. You will see clearly within hours.
Dr. Rolfsen examines your eyes the following morning. Most patients achieve 20/20 or better within 24 hours.
Dr. Rolfsen tracks healing and fine-tunes if needed. You have 24/7 direct access for any concerns during recovery.
No commitment. Dr. Rolfsen personally evaluates every LASIK candidate and provides a candid recommendation — including if she thinks you shouldn't have it done.
