iLASIK: Advanced CustomVue and IntraLase

Dr. Probst only performs LASIK with the safest and most advanced technology called Custom IntraLase (iLASIK) that has been adopted by NASA and the US military.


Custom refers to the customized laser vision correction guided by the wavefront measurements of your eye. Custom has been shown to provide patients with a 10-20% better chance of achieving uncorrected 20/20 or better vision and better night vision as compared to conventional corrections*


IntraLase refers to the bladeless all laser flap creation that has been shown to be 4-6 times safer than flap creation with the bladed microkeratome*

Medical Director and Chief Surgeon, Davis Eye Center
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Over the last 12 years. I have had the opportunity to co-manage many LASIK patients with Dr. Probst. Since I have performed a large number of LASIK procedures myself, I am especially able to appreciate the unmatched experience and talent that Dr. Probst brings to LASIK. I was so impressed and confident in Dr. Probst's ability that I asked him perform my own LASIK procedure several years ago and the results have been fantastic. There is no question in my mind that Dr. Probst is one of the top LASIK surgeons in the world.

As an Optometrist, I rely on my vision every day. That's why I choose Dr Probst to perform my lasik. with his overwhelming experience and expertise, the decision was easy. I have been without glasses and contacts since 2001.

I have seen the LASIK results from many surgeons in the Chicagoland area over the past 12 years and no one is better than Dr Probst.

I have been recommending Dr Probst to ALL my patients since 1996. As an Optometrist, my patients trust me to make the best decisions for their eye health. That is why I trust Dr Probst as our exclusive LASIK surgeon. His experience as a pioneer in the refractive surgery field is second to none. His experience in number of procedures performed as well as his passion for LASIK is why I chose him as MY LASIK surgeon in 2001. My patients know that if I trust my vision to Dr Probst, so should they.

I had been wearing glasses since I was in the fourth grade. Like everyone else, I first went to my Optometrist after I started getting headaches. It was determined that I was nearsighted (distance was blurry) although I didn't know how bad I was seeing. After receiving my first pair of glasses, I was able to see things across the road and at a distance like I had never seen before. I knew what sharpness was for the first time.

As I grew, my nearsightedness became worse and required several more changes of prescription. I continued with the contacts and glasses until this remarkable procedure (LASIK) came about. Being in the Optometric Profession, I was able to learn more about the procedure and eventually many of my patients had the procedure and I was able to see firsthand what a remarkable procedure it was. After learning about the procedure and searching for the right surgeon, I found TLC Laser Eye Center to be the choice for my patients as well as myself. Dr. Lou Probst is not only the most experienced Refractive Surgeon in the Chicagoland area, but understands the needs of every individual and has the talent and expertise to make it happen for thousands of people. You cannot find a more skillful and dedicated Surgeon when it comes to LASIK.

It's like a miracle that I can see without them and it's so nice to get up in the middle of the night and actually be able to see where I'm going. The TLC Westchester - Chicago experience and staff were awesome. They were very professional, yet very comfortable. They were in complete control. I was never hesitant for a moment. They answered all of my questions.

As a firefighter, dealing with glasses and contacts is never practical or safe. If you wear glasses or contacts, you really don't know what you're missing until you've had the LASIK procedure.

After doing weeks of research on the internet about different laser centers and most importantly, LASIK surgeons, I chose TLC and Dr. Lou Probst, hands down! Dr. Probst is by far one of the most experienced and skilled surgeons in the U.S. & Canada. TLC Westchester - Chicago is also a provider with my insurance plan, which was an added bonus! I would definitely recommend TLC and Dr. Probst for laser vision correction to anyone who qualifies.
