A recognized pioneer and visionary in the field of corrective eye surgery,

than 20,000 procedures. |

In 1991 Dr
Nick Caro opened the Midwest's first facility devoted solely to refractive surgery. He performed RK, which was most effective on patients who were mildly nearsighted. But as technology expanded the treatment options, Dr. Caro researched these options for his patients. He realized early that LASIK was the preferred procedure, especially for patients who were not candidates for RK. |

Dr.
Nick Caro
trained in the LASIK procedure and traveled abroad teaching LASIK to
physicians in China and Germany. When the FDA approved clinical test sites
for LASIK, the St. George Corrective Vision Center was one of the first in
the Chicago area. Dr. Caro also has invented several instruments that are
commonly used in LASIK.
Today Dr.
Nick Caro
continues to teach, study and research. He is ready to clinically test a
small clip he invented to correct presbyopia that also has applications for
treating glaucoma.
After receiving his medical degree, Medical College of Wisconsin, Dr.

in Chicago. He did his initial training in refractive surgery at the

education at approved ophthalmology meetings.
