ROCHESTER HILLS — Have you been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK? Dr. Mazin Yaldo, founder of Yaldo Eye Center, believes modern vision care is about helping people live free from glasses and contacts. “Ninety-nine percent of people are good candidates,” he said. “How we help patients reduce dependency on glasses depends on their age. Some get LASIK, and some get implants.”
With more than 100,000 procedures performed and over 32 years in practice, Dr. Yaldo, a board-certified ophthalmologist and laser eye surgeon, can attest that many patients have more options than they realize. Even those who have already had cataract surgery are still able to reduce or eliminate their need for glasses, despite being told otherwise.
“Many people are told nothing can be done, but that’s simply not true,” he said.
Dr. Yaldo said his approach stands apart because of both experience and versatility. “Most ophthalmologists do one or two procedures,” he said. “I offer patients more options.” He stays current by studying emerging techniques, attending and teaching professional courses and evaluating new technology for conditions such as myopia, presbyopia, cataracts and astigmatism.
Every patient begins with an evaluation, which Dr. Yaldo describes as a thorough process. “We do between five to 15 tests,” he said. That exam helps him determine candidacy and which procedure best fits the patient’s age, eye health and lifestyle.
He also credits his staff with creating an environment where patients feel informed and supported. “It’s very important when a patient comes in the door to feel welcome,” he said. “When someone elects to have surgery, it can be a little nerve-racking. The experience they receive here is important to us.”
Dr. Yaldo encourages anyone unsure of their options to schedule a consultation. “Come in and see what your options are,” he said. “Most people who finally do it say they wish they’d done it sooner.”
