We are pleased to introduce to you our Clinical Director, Johnna Hobbs, O.D., and our surgeons, Richard Lindstrom M.D., Steve Lane, M.D. As pioneers of refractive surgery, combined Dr. Lindstrom and Dr. Lane have performed over 23,000 successful laser vision correction procedures. Besides being nationally and internationally sought after lecturers and avid contributors to ophthalmology publications, they are two of the most experienced surgeons in the United States.

Along with clinical expertise, we offer state-of-the-art technology with the VISX Star S4 excimer laser. Using the VISX Star S4, we are able to utilize a wavefront analyzer, which enables our surgeons to map the visual imperfections that exist within the eye and can affect both visual acuity and the quality of vision.

We know that making a decision about something as important as your eyesight takes time and careful thought. We appreciate you considering TLC Edina and we welcome any questions you may have.
