Why LASIK MD Leads in Vision Correction: Awards and Results
When it comes to LASIK eye surgery in Canada, awards and recognitions matter – they reflect experience, safety, and patient trust. With over 20 years in the field and more than 2 million procedures performed, LASIK MD has become one of the most awarded and trusted providers of laser vision correction in the country.
Backed by advanced technology and a 99%* patient satisfaction rate, we’re proud to be recognized as a leader in delivering safe, effective, and personalized vision care. As part of Vision Group, one of North America’s leading networks of vision correction clinics, we serve patients through dozens of locations across Canada and the United States.
Awards that reflect our excellence
Our reputation is backed not just by experience, but by consistent recognition for quality, innovation, and patient satisfaction. Over the years, LASIK MD has earned some of the highest honours in the healthcare and business sectors, proof of our ongoing commitment to excellence in laser vision correction.
Key recognitions include:
Consumer Choice Award (every year since 2008)
LASIK MD has been awarded the Consumer Choice Award in the vision correction category for 17 consecutive years across multiple Canadian regions. Based on independent surveys of real consumers, this honour reflects the continued trust patients place in our care and outcomes (and the power of word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied patients).
Canada’s Best Managed Companies (Platinum Club member)
Since 2007, LASIK MD has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, a national program that celebrates private Canadian businesses for outstanding leadership, innovation, and performance. We achieved Platinum Club status in 2013 after maintaining this recognition for seven consecutive years, and we’ve held the designation ever since.
Readers’ Choice Award

Understanding your vision correction options
We’ve helped thousands of people of all ages achieve clear vision and find freedom from glasses and contacts. 90% of people aged 18 to 65 are excellent candidates for LASIK, but it’s not the only option. Depending on your eye health, prescription, and lifestyle, our team may recommend an alternative, such as RLE (refractive lens exchange) or Implantable Collamer® Lenses (ICLs).
At LASIK MD, we offer free consultations to help you explore your options. Available both in person and virtually, these visits allow our team to evaluate your eye health and recommend a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.
In the meantime, you can also take our quick candidacy quiz to learn more about which procedures may be right for you.
Wherever you are in your vision journey, we’re here to help you take the next step, with trusted care that’s backed by experience and available across Canada and the U.S.
