From Niche to Chic: The Evolution of LASIK

As we embark on our celebratory journey through two decades of providing LASIK in Denver, it’s interesting to reflect on its evolution from a niche procedure to a commonplace solution for addressing hyperopia, myopia, and astigmatism. In the early years of laser vision correction, to patients, the landscape of LASIK may have seemed akin to the vast unknowns of outer space, where only the most adventurous dared to tread. Surgeons performing LASIK were like astronauts navigating through uncharted territory—armed only with new technologies and a vision for a future where clear sight could be a reality. These surgeons were truly pioneers in the field of LASIK, forging the way for the advancements and innovations that now set the standard for the advanced laser vision correction treatment solutions that are utilized today.

Today, undergoing LASIK to correct poor vision is as mainstream as the decision to get braces to correct crooked teeth—a testament to the advancements and refinements made possible in the field by its brave first providers. This once uncommon procedure has seen many improvements—including the in-depth advanced diagnostic equipment that determines appropriate candidates and treatment advancements like today’s bladeless WaveFront Optimized® LASIK treatments—ensuring the proper patients can receive a custom LASIK plan tailored to their unique vision needs. Today’s advancements have made it possible for us to utilize highly accurate diagnostic and procedural technology, helping to ensure the LASIK we provide produces the most reliable outcomes to date. In fact, at 20/20 Institute, an exceptional 99.67% of our patients have achieved 20/20 vision or better* following LASIK vision correction.

The 20/20 Institute Story…So Far

The story of 20/20 Institute is a tale of vision, passion, and the transformative power of LASIK eye surgery. And it all starts with the personal journey of co-founder, Dr. Mark Danzo.

As a young boy in New York, Dr. Danzo’s fascination with commercial aviation set him on a path that would eventually lead to a career in vision correction, though not in the way one might expect. His early dreams of becoming an airline pilot were dashed due to a vision impairment that disqualified him from military aviation, which was a common precursor to a commercial piloting career at the time. This pivotal moment in Dr. Danzo’s life redirected his passion toward the specialty of Refractive Surgery, where he saw the potential to change lives by restoring vision to 20/20.

Dr. Danzo’s commitment to developing an organization to improve others’ vision led to the establishment of 20/20 Institute in 2004. Built on best practices and a patient-centered philosophy, the Institute’s mission has always been to offer world-class LASIK surgery in an environment that prioritizes the patient’s experience and focuses on the best visual outcomes over how many people we can get through our doors.

Our patient-first approach is evident in every aspect of what we do, from our experienced, independent LASIK doctors to our use of advanced laser technology that promotes the most reliable and predictable results. With a focus on quality, service, and an unwavering commitment to producing optimal visual outcomes, we stand as a testament to the power of clear vision to change lives.

Inspired by the journey of our founder from a young boy with dreams of flight to a visionary leader in the field of laser vision correction, we look forward to the next 20 years—and more—as one of Denver’s most trusted and respected LASIK providers.
