In 1995 we were the first center in Colorado to perform LASIK, the very first. Many talk about clinical trials, but we are the only center in Colorado to be involved in actual FDA clinical trials for LASIK since the introduction of lasers for vision correction. Then in 2001 we were the first to use the Intralase to perform blade free LASIK. There have been many other "firsts" in vision correction that Dishler Laser Institute has brought to the Denver region. While we have been pretty quiet about discussing it, we were the first to offer the next generation of femtosecond laser, the Visumax. It operated at 200 kHz which is faster than the newest introduction of Intralase IFS that runs at 150 kHz. Of course there is a lot more to a laser than how fast it is, and this difference is not much to brag about. However, we have a new first, and it is the Visumax500 which is now the fastest femtosecond laser running at a blazing 500 kHz. That is 500,000 pulses per second. Now that is something to brag about.
