Since LASIK surgery was first introduced in the mid 90s, we estimate about 1,371 Green Bay LASIK patients were among the 4 million Americans who performed LASIK or laser eye surgery.

Stats from the 2005 ASCRS Refractive surgery Survey shows 50% of the LASIK surgeries performed in the U.S. were custom LASIK procedures. Green Bay LASIK Surgeons performed over 240.

The average age of Green Bay's LASIK surgery candidates is 33.2. Over 269 (56%) of those having LASIK eye surgery in 2005 were within the age group of 18 to 34.
