SMILE: Why Residents of Upland Should Consider IQ Laser Vision for LASIK and SMILE Eye Surgery
Since many of our new patients come from happy former clients or medical professionals, it’s likely that people who live in Upland and the surrounding area have a friend or loved one who has had their poor eyesight corrected at IQ Laser Vision . We are proud to offer the most up to date laser-assisted eye correction surgery options in the field, including the Zeiss ReLEx SMILE procedure. SMILE, short for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction, is a quick procedure, done in only a few minutes, and is the least invasive laser eye surgery option, with many patients resuming everyday activities within just a day or two post-procedure. This advanced eye correction technology has already provided many patients in Upland with the freedom from wearing glasses or contact lenses.
At IQ Laser Vision , an excellent patient experience is as important to us as a successful procedure. Here are some highlights potential clients can expect from IQ Laser Vision ’s practice that will show our commitment to our patients. Not all laser eye centers are the same in Upland and the surrounding area.

IQ Laser Vision ’s lead medical director, Robert T. Lin, M.D., originally founded IQ Laser Vision in 1999, giving him over two decades of experience in the eye care field. He is a graduate and Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA School of Medicine (Jules Stein Eye Institute) and he is a board-certified ophthalmologist by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Dr. Lin has performed over 60,000 refractive surgeries and has been distinguished by the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (CRSQA) as one of just a few CRSQA certified practitioners in the United States.

Superior Results
At IQ Laser vision, over 99% of patients experience uncorrected vision within 1 line of the best correctable vision, which is 20/20 for most people. 99.9% of patients experience 20/40 vision and post-procedure (minimum to pass a driver’s test). While the national average for enhancement rate is 10%, IQ Laser Vision ’s is below 1%. Anyone considering LASIK, SMILE or other laser eye surgeries in Upland and the surrounding area can feel confident in these superior results.
Advanced SMILE and LASIK Technology
At IQ Laser, we are pleased to offer the Zeiss ReLEx SMILE procedure. This advanced laser-assisted vision correction surgery has already helped millions of patients globally say goodbye to glasses and contacts forever. This newer procedure is considered a more gentle option and carries a smaller-risk for post-surgical complications.
IQ Laser Vision s is one of the few centers to use the GALILEI Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer and NIDEK Magellan Mapper for the diagnosis of otherwise undetectable conditions in the cornea that may prevent potential patients in Upland and the surrounding area from safely undergoing laser-assisted eye surgery.
We are proud to offer those living in Upland and the surrounding area Topography-Guided Custom Micro-LASIK®, which decreases halos and glare. IQ Laser Vision also offers the All Laser Micro-LASIK® technology which creates an ultra-thin corneal flap, much thinner than the corneal flap created during conventional LASIK procedures that creates access to the stroma for treatment.
IQ Laser Vision is the first and only eye center in the state to upgrade to the 400 Hz Eye Tracker for the Nidek EC-5000 laser. These eye trackers make sure that if any patients in the Upland area have eye movement during their procedure, the results will still be excellent. Very few eye centers in Southern California have invested in this advanced eye tracker technology and all of our lasers are serviced by the manufacturers, not third parties, to keep results consistent.
Unparalleled Safety
Dr. Lin is a pioneer in laser eye surgery technology, including ultra-thin flap LASIK and LASEK. The upside of these peer-reviewed, tissue-conserving procedures is that they result in less dry eyes, less corneal weakness, and more options for laser-assisted treatment. The Micro-LASIK®(R) procedure, as well as the ReLEx SMILE procedure, offers more patients in the area of Upland and surrounding cities greater options for safe laser-assisted eye surgery.
