“First Class Service, World Class Results”.
Franz Michel, MD eye center specializes in blade-free Lasik. Dr. Michel is a UCLA-trained Laser Eye Surgeon and uses the safest procedures with the most-advanced lasers available.
Dr. Michel was the first surgeon in Ventura County to perform blade-free Intralase Lasik and the first to perform Lasik with the Allegretto laser. After surgery, 100 percent of our patients are able to pass the DMV vision test without glasses and 94 percent have 20/20 vision.
Due to Dr. Michel’s specialized training in Cornea and Refractive Surgery, our site provides information about laser eye surgery options that you might not find elsewhere. Please use our site as an educational resource.

Why choose us?
1) We treat you like family. We do the same for our patients as we would for our own family. We treat all of our patients with compassion, consideration and respect.
2) Our results. Dr. Michel has the highest standards for the care of your eyes. We never take shortcuts. While some Ventura County lasik eye centers still use a mechanical blade microkeratome and non-wavefront laser vision technology, we provide all of our patients with wavefront all-laser Lasik eye surgery technology.
3) We use the best Lasik surgery technology so that you have the best Lasik results. We use the Allegretto laser, which gives fantastic vision correction while maintaining the natural shape of the eye.
4) First Class Service. We realize the thought of having laser eye surgery can be frightening and continuity of care is important. We are not a corporate lasik eye factory that hands patients off from one person to another. From the initial consultation through surgery and post-op care, Dr. Michel manages every aspect of your care himself. If questions or concerns arise, all of our patients have Dr. Michel’s personal cell phone number.
5) Dr. Michel checks your lasik tests three times before surgery. Measure three times, operate once.
6) Our emphasis on safety and ethics. While at UCLA, Dr. Michel’s sub-specialty was dealing with referred complications from surgery done elsewhere. As a result, we evaluate your eyes with safety in mind and tailor treatment to your individual needs. Dr. Michel is known for his polite but brutal honesty in consultations. If Lasik is not for you, we won’t offer it to you. Dr. Michel’s common quote is “I have to sleep at night!”
7) Affordability. We have reasonable rates for the best technology and 0% Lasik financing is available.
8 ) We do more than Lasik. We customize treatments to your eyes. If Lasik is not for you, we offer alternative treatments such as PRK, Advanced Surface Ablation, Bladeless Lasik and Intacs.
9) We value your time. Your time is valuable. Nobody wants to spend their whole day at their Lasik surgeon’s office. We will do everything to accomodate you and your schedule. However, if you have to wait more than 10 minutes due to an emergency patient, we will make it up to you!
10) We give back to the community and a have a heart and soul. Dr. Michel has used revenues and donations from our business to support Habit for Humanity, Equestrian Autism support, numerous school and kids sports teams and drilling wells to supply fresh water for villages in Burma. In 2010 four teenage boys died locally in a tragic car accident. Dr. Michel held a surgical fundraiser which donated money to help the mothers of the deceased cover funeral expenses.
