Dr. Schnipper was the seventh person in the world to perform modern cataract surgery (phacoemulsification), the first in North Florida to do cataract surgery with the insertion of an intraocular lens implant, and the first in North Florida to perform Radial Keratotomy for the correction of nearsightedness. He now continues his pioneering techniques by being the first in North Florida to offer completely blade-free LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis).

Safer…Faster…Better.

Dr. Schnipper exclusively uses the space-age IntraLase laser to create the flap in the cornea that enables him to access and reshape the eye to improve your vision. IntraLase is better than the traditional microkeratome razor-like tool because it uses highly calibrated technology, which directs a concentrated, high-speed laser beam into a tiny spot of energy—providing unprecedented precision, safety and accuracy.

An Eye on the Future.

When IntraLase is combined with the Allegretto Wave laser, your LASIK surgery becomes totally blade-free, and your result is more accurate and the procedure is safer. Few eye care professionals chose to invest in this dual technology, but Dr. Schnipper understood immediately its impact:

As a leader in the field, Dr. Schnipper knows the technology and procedures are always changing, increasing the potential to improve his patients’ lives. All-laser LASIK is a genuine breakthrough, and you can experience the future now at the Jacksonville Eye Center.
