Conlon Eye Institute

Dr. M. Ronan Conlon was fortunate enough to begin his career in ophthalmology in tandem with the pioneering of refractive eye surgery in Canada. To advance LASIK surgery in Canada, Dr. Conlon and his colleagues travelled to Germany in 1996, and acquired the new technology for making a corneal flap in LASIK, which was instrumental in the evolution of that procedure.

Taking this initiative meant LASIK surgery was actually brought to Canada before it was available in the United States, and in the early 1990’s Dr. Conlon treated many American patients.

As Dr. Conlon’s career, and with it, the Conlon Eye Institute, has grown, so has the laser technology. Dr. Conlon advanced his surgical skills as LASIK/PRK moved from its early stages to the advanced procedure, we have today. Dr. Conlon also transitioned to treating cataract patients, moving from ultrasound to laser cataract surgery removal, and the adoption of cutting edge lenses for visual enhancement at the highest level.
