OUR STORY

Having trained under world famous surgeons including Dr. Slava Fedorov and Dr. Ellis at Berkeley, Dr. Mike Bense performs the first RK (radial keratotomy) surgical procedure in Atlantic Canada.

Dr. Bense performs the first PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) procedure in Atlantic Canada, using cutting-edge VISX 20/20B laser technology (PRK is a forerunner of LASIK). Dr. Bense also performs the first PTK (phototherapeutic keratectomy) procedure in Atlantic Canada.

Dr. Bense performs the 1st LASIK procedure in Atlantic Canada. Over the next 15 years the procedure evolves and undergoes several upgrades.

Dr. Bense introduces vital new procedures to Newfoundland including CLE (Clear Lens Extraction), LRI (Limbal Relaxing Incisions) for Astigmatism, Iris Registration Technology, and Pupil Tracking laser technology.

NASA and “TOPGUN” schools approve iLASIK™ for astronauts and jet fighter pilots. Dr. Bense introduces iLASIK™ to Newfoundland.

Thanks to our use of cutting-edge technology, our experience, and word-of-mouth referrals, Bense Vision is the most established and trusted laser vision correction centre in Eastern Canada and the only certified blade-free iLASIK providers in Newfoundland and Labrador. Over the last 25 years, we have successfully performed over 30,000 eye procedures.
