LASIK Proven Results
At Hoopes Vision, our goal is – and always has been – to provide our patients with the safest, most effective vision correction procedures available. Everything we do here is focused on that goal. The benefits of that approach can be seen in our outstanding track record of proven results. We are proud of the results of our LASIK and PRK procedures, and of the amazing vision that we have helped tens of thousands of patients to achieve. We track our patients’ postoperative vision and make those results available to the public. Below is a chart showing our LASIK and PRK patients’ post-operative results at 90 days from surgery.
Hoopes Vision Our Procedures
Proven Results Blade-Free LASIK
In 2003, Hoopes Vision was the first LASIK practice in Salt Lake City to adopt the revolutionary speed and precision of blade-free, all-laser LASIK. Over a decade later, Hoopes Vision is by far the most experienced provider of blade-free LASIK in Utah. Our legacy of outstanding surgical results is due in large part to our vast experience with blade-free LASIK and our constant upgrading of our all-laser LASIK technology.
The iFS Advanced Femtosecond Laser
All of our femtosecond expertise culminates in our fifth-generation iFS Laser. The iFS Laser gives surgeons greater control for maximum customization — providing an indispensable tool for LASIK and beyond. With nearly 4 million procedures performed to date, IntraLase Technology is the femtosecond technology of choice. The iFS Laser delivers:
- Enhanced flap biomechanical stability.

Enhanced Flap Customization
The iFS Laser’s software design allows surgeons a greater ability to customize the corneal flap.
- Inverted bevel-in side cut up to 150° for improved biomechanical stability

Proven Results Patient Spotlight
“Vision is very important in sports. You can run fast, you can jump high, but if you can’t see – you’re at a disadvantage all the time. Trying to fit in the NFL, you’re with the best of the best. You can’t be out there thinking about losing contacts – you’ve got to be ready to perform and compete and be as physical as you want every day. When deciding to have surgery, I asked around, talked to other guys who’ve had LASIK, and Hoopes Vision kept coming up. After hearing about their track record, my nervousness went away. Now my vision is perfect. To wake up and look across the room and see how clear everything is – it just gives you a better outlook on the day. I’m really glad I chose Hoopes Vision – I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
