Ready to see comfortably again?
A stable, healthy tear film is essential for two key reasons. First, it allows our advanced diagnostic equipment to capture the most precise and accurate measurements of your cornea, which are used to program your personalized Vision Correction treatment. Second, addressing dry eye before your procedure ensures a smoother, more comfortable recovery and contributes to the best possible long-term visual quality.
At 20/20 Institute, we use the most advanced diagnostic technology available to uncover the true cause of your dry, irritated eyes. Our comprehensive evaluation goes far beyond the basics—measuring your tear quality, gland function, and overall eye health with precision.

You might be thinking that somehow all these five-star reviews are incentivized (I did). They’re not!!! My vision after surgery is now 20/15 – and my eyesight was REALLY bad! The office was amazing to work with, explained everything, and made me feel very comfortable…
From start to finish had a great experience with office staff and Dr.’s. Everyone at 20/20 is so kind and willing to answer all questions . Everything was very streamlined from first visit to surgery day. Lasik surgery literally only lasted minutes! Wish I would have done this years ago. It was amazing waking up and seeing so clear ! I have 20/15 vision and I couldn’t be happier!
Amazing experience from start to finish. Everyone I interacted with was very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. My surgery went extremely well and my vision is excellent! I should’ve done this a long time ago! I highly recommend 20/20 Institute – don’t entrust your eyes to anyone else.
I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with 20/20 Institute. At every single step of the process, I was fully informed about what to expect, and the communication I received from the clinic was amazing. My procedure went incredibly smoothly and the after-care instructions provided by the Doctors and Nurses were great. I wish I had done Lasik with 20/20 so much sooner, not having to rely on glasses or contacts has made my life so much easier.
Our patients consistently share how personalized care and advanced therapies at 20/20 Institute have restored their comfort, clarity, and confidence. For many, it’s more than just dry eye relief—it’s a new lease on life.

Dry eye is often caused by a combination of factors, including age, hormonal changes, prolonged screen time, contact lens wear, certain medications, medical conditions, and—especially here in Colorado—our dry, high-altitude climate. Symptoms can include a gritty or sandy sensation, burning, stinging, redness, watery eyes, and blurry or fluctuating vision. If your eyes feel uncomfortable or look red on a regular basis, it’s time to seek professional care.
