The outstanding results that patients see from Kremer Laser Eye Surgery Centers are a direct result of our higher standards, namely, Kremer Care^SM.

Kremer Sterility
Your surgery will be performed in a private, sterile surgical suite that has been specially designed to provide a truly sterile operating environment. That means your risk of

"Our mission is to provide the highest quality, most technologically advanced eye surgery in the most caring and courteous fashion, that's Kremer CareSM." -- Frederic B. Kremer, M.D., Medical Director & Founder

infection is less than in the ordinary wearing of contact lenses. A non-sterile environment (even a so-called clean room) can have up to ten times the risk of infection as a sterile surgicenter. Using only the best state-of-the-art equipment, the Kremer Laser Eye Surgery Centers treats LASIK as a truly sterile procedure. Most laser centers do not. Kremer surgeons use the most stringent sterile technique available:

• The operating staff wears sterile caps, sterile gowns, masks, gloves and shoe covers
• The patients wear caps, shoe covers, sanitary jump suits and are covered with sterile drapes
• The patient's face is cleaned with a sterilizing solution.
• The room is HEPA-filtered with separate humidity and temperature controls.
• The floors and ceilings are sealed.
• The room air is completely exchanged an average of 15 times per hour.

Kremer Experience
Our board-certified ophthalmic surgeons have been worldwide leaders in vision correction since 1980. They have performed over 150,000 eye procedures, including over 50,000 LASIK procedures. Frederic B. Kremer, MD, world recognized pioneer, hand picks all the Kremer Certified Surgeons who are trained in the Kremer technique. Also, no practice has performed LASIK surgery longer in North America.

Kremer Technology Leadership
Kremer surgeons built the world's first laser approved by the FDA for LASIK, which continues to be state-of-the-art. Our doctors also developed many of the devices, instruments and other components now used in LASIK procedures worldwide. Kremer Laser Eye Surgery Centers participate in many FDA protocols to develop the technology of tomorrow. We have been treating patients with a "scanning and tracking" laser since 1999, and now have the only 49 beamlet LASIK in the world developed by the Kremer Certified Surgeons.

Kremer True Commitment Care for Our Patients
When you choose Kremer Laser Eye Surgery Centers, we can provide you the lifetime assurance you may want to have due to changes in your eyes. This may be due to natural changes age may cause. If you have laser or non-laser vision correction, and at any time in your lifetime you require an enhancement, you may be able to receive additional treatment at minimal cost, using current or future technology, provided that your Kremer Laser eye surgeon thinks additional treatment is medically necessary, and you have completed all first year post-operative follow-up visits and have been seen annually by your participating co-care doctor. Kremer Laser Eye Surgery Centers can provide you with a choice of flexible Kremer Care^SM options.

The True Commitment Lifetime Program also applies if you have had a physiological change that affects the focal accuracy of your eyes, provided that change is not related to disease, injury or presbyopia (the need for reading glasses, which typically begins after age 40).
