[1] Additional recommended knowledgeLASIK MD was founded in 2001 by Dr. Mark Cohen and Dr. Avi Wallerstein with two initial clinics in Montreal, Canada and Toronto, Canada. As of 2007, there are 18 LASIK MD eye centres located across Canada, and one in the United States. The clinics serve all major metropolitan areas throughout Canada. LASIK MD is a provider of laser vision correction, performing LASIK, PRK and Zyoptix procedures. The LASIK MD centre in Montreal is the largest private eye care centre in the province of Quebec and also performs cataract surgeries.[1] LASIK MD Montreal location is a training center for LASIK for Canadian laser eye surgeons.

HistoryIn 1998, Lasik Vision Corporation was the first laser vision correction provider in North America to offer “affordable, value-pricing” and to promote it with direct-to-consumer advertising. At the time, this was a new approach for a medical services company and allowed it to capitalize on a larger mass appeal for the procedure.[3] Dr. Wallerstein was the National Medical Director of LASIK Vision Corporation [4] and oversaw medical standardization, and Dr. Cohen was the National Director of Professional Affairs and oversaw physician recruitment and training. By 2000, Lasik Vision Corporation, a publicly traded corporation, became the largest laser vision company in the world, as measured by procedure volume.[5] In 2001, Cohen and Wallerstein left LASIK Vision to implement a similar medical model in a group of privately-owned facilities. These centres operate under the name LASIK MD. LASIK MD subsequently acquired the majority of the former Lasik Vision facilities in Canada. References
