At Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, our mission has always been clear: to offer patients the safest, most effective vision correction options using the most advanced technology available. From the beginning, we’ve led the way in LASIK innovation—not just in Arizona, but across the nation.
We’re proud to be the first in the Southwest to introduce several groundbreaking advancements in laser vision correction, including:
First to Offer LASIK Laser Vision Correction
Barnet Dulaney Perkins was among the first eye centers in the region to bring LASIK to patients, allowing thousands to experience life free from glasses and contact lenses. Our early adoption of LASIK paved the way for improved outcomes and greater access to vision correction.
First to Use Laser Technology to Create the LASIK Flap
The LASIK flap was traditionally made with a mechanical blade called a microkeratome. We were the first in the area to replace this with blade-free femtosecond laser technology—a significant advancement in precision, safety, and comfort. This innovation dramatically improved outcomes for our patients and set a new standard for care.
First in Arizona to Use the 200 Hz Allegretto WaveLight® Laser
Our commitment to excellence continued with adopting the Allegretto WaveLight® laser system—the fastest excimer laser of its time, operating at 200 Hz. This technology delivered exceptionally smooth treatments and helped preserve the natural curvature of the cornea, resulting in superior visual outcomes and faster recovery.
First to Use the Advanced 400 Hz Allegretto WaveLight® EYE-Q Laser
We didn’t stop there. Barnet Dulaney Perkins was also the first to offer the next-generation Allegretto EYE-Q laser at 400 Hz. This ultra-fast, high-precision laser is still among the most advanced tools available for custom LASIK treatments, offering unmatched speed, accuracy, and personalization based on the unique characteristics of each patient’s eye.
A Legacy of Innovation
Each milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing eye care through technology. Our surgeons are nationally recognized leaders in laser vision correction, and our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical tools to ensure each patient receives the safest, most personalized treatment possible.
