LASIK Services We Offer for Bonita Springs Patients

From your initial candidacy evaluation to post-operative follow-up care, Ginsberg Eye provides comprehensive LASIK services for Bonita Springs and surrounding Southwest Florida communities.

What Is All-Laser LASIK?

LASIK is a laser refractive surgery designed to correct common vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, by reshaping the cornea so that light focuses properly on the retina. At Ginsberg Eye, All-Laser LASIK uses two distinct laser systems: the IntraLase femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap with exceptional precision, and the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® EYE-Q Excimer Laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue. Using lasers for both steps — rather than a blade for the flap — allows for a higher degree of accuracy and consistency throughout the procedure. The entire surgery is performed in our in-office LASIK suite, and each eye typically takes only a few minutes to treat.

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for LASIK, and a thorough pre-operative evaluation is an essential first step. General candidacy criteria include being at least 18 years old, having a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least two years, meeting corneal thickness requirements, and having no significant underlying eye health concerns. Because Dr. Ginsberg is not only an experienced refractive surgeon but also a fellowship-trained cornea specialist, he is uniquely qualified to evaluate candidacy with a level of depth that goes beyond a standard LASIK screening. For Bonita Springs patients who are not appropriate LASIK candidates, Dr. Ginsberg will discuss which alternative procedures — such as Refractive Lens Exchange — may better suit their vision goals.

What to Expect at the LASIK Consultation

During the initial consultation, Dr. Ginsberg will perform a comprehensive eye evaluation that includes visual acuity testing, refractive error measurement, pupil size assessment, eye pressure, general eye health, and a detailed corneal evaluation covering both thickness and shape. A full medical and eye history will also be reviewed. The goal of this evaluation is straightforward: to determine whether LASIK is the right procedure for you, and if so, to gather all of the information needed to plan the most precise and effective treatment possible. Bonita Springs patients can expect this visit to be thorough and unhurried, with ample time to have every question answered before any decision is made.

How LASIK Is Performed

On the day of the procedure, anesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eyes completely. Dr. Ginsberg then uses the IntraLase femtosecond laser to create a thin, hinged flap on the surface of the cornea. The flap is gently folded back to expose the inner corneal tissue, and the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea according to each patient’s specific prescription. Once the reshaping is complete, the flap is smoothed back into place, where it seals naturally during the healing process. Most patients notice meaningful improvements in their vision within 24 hours, and many return to normal daily activities — including work — the following day.

What to Expect After LASIK

Recovery from LASIK is generally straightforward. In the first 24 hours, some mild discomfort or sensitivity is normal as the anesthetic eye drops wear off; rest is recommended. By the next morning, most patients notice noticeably clearer vision. Dr. Ginsberg will prescribe eye drops to prevent infection and inflammation, and artificial tears are typically recommended to manage any temporary dryness. Screen time and eye strain should be minimized in the first day or two, and patients should avoid touching or rubbing the eyes during the initial healing period. Most people return to exercise within a week and contact sports within a month. For the majority of patients, the transition away from glasses and contacts happens quickly and with minimal disruption to daily life.

Meet Dr. Barrett Ross Ginsberg, M.D.

Barrett Ross Ginsberg, M.D., is a board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologist who has spent over two decades caring for patients in Lee and Collier counties. He completed his residency at UF Shands Teaching Hospital, where he was named Resident of the Year, followed by a fellowship at the University of California, Davis, specializing in cornea, uveitis, and refractive surgery. He has performed thousands of eye surgeries, served as an associate professor at the University of South Florida and Nova Southeastern University, and lectured at the American Academy of Ophthalmology, ASCRS, and ESCRS.

When Dr. Ginsberg opened his Naples practice, he made a choice to make it a boutique, patient-centered care practice. The goal was straightforward: spend more time with each patient, move at a pace that allows for real conversation, and make sure people leave with their questions answered. It’s a different model than most large ophthalmology groups, and it’s one that his patients — including many from Bonita Springs — tend to notice quickly.

Serving LASIK Patients in the Bonita Springs Area

Ginsberg Eye’s connection to the Bonita Springs community is more than professional — it’s personal. Dr. Ginsberg and his wife, Dr. Suzana Tanimoto, have both volunteered at the Bonita Springs Lions Eye Clinic, directly serving residents in the community who need eye care most. They have also served on the board of directors of the Lighthouse of Collier, an organization dedicated to supporting those with visual impairments throughout Collier County. Dr. Ginsberg has even channeled his passion for endurance sports — he has completed multiple marathons and triathlons — into charitable causes, raising money for the Lighthouse of Collier.

This kind of community engagement reflects the values at the core of Ginsberg Eye. When Bonita Springs patients choose our practice, they’re not just choosing excellent LASIK care — they’re supporting a team of physicians who have invested in this region’s health and well-being for years, and who genuinely care about the neighbors they serve.
