Michael Furlong, MD

Dr. Michael Furlong is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in Advanced Topography-Guided LASIK, PRK, Refractive Lens Exchange and Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery with Advanced Lifestyle Lenses. A former LASIK patient himself, Dr. Furlong enjoyed his results so much that he dedicated his practice to the magic of advanced vision correction procedures.

Dr. Furlong established Furlong Vision Correction in 1998. His greatest pleasure is listening to his patients describe the excitement of waking up the morning after their surgery and being able to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses for the first time in years.

Dr. Furlong meets and works with each of his patients personally throughout the entire vision correction. His personable approach allows you to ask the right questions and his honest answers allow you to make the right decision about your eyes.
