Custom, bladeless LASIK for Pasadena, South Pasadena, Altadena, and San Marino — performed by a surgeon with more than 50,000 procedures, at an office fifteen minutes down the 210.
LASIK is a ten-minute, all-laser procedure that reshapes the cornea so light focuses correctly. Berg-Feinfield maps each eye with iDesign 2 Advanced WaveScan — more than 1,200 data points — and treats to that map with the Alcon WaveLight Pro excimer laser, so your correction is custom to your eye, not a generic prescription.
Our Arcadia office at 638 W. Duarte Road is the San Gabriel Valley home of the practice. From Old Pasadena or the Caltech campus, take the 210 East to Baldwin Avenue and head south to Duarte Road — about seven miles and fifteen minutes outside rush hour. Huntington Drive is the scenic alternative through San Marino. Altadena and Sierra Madre patients are closer still.

LASIK procedures by Dr. Alan Berg
Pasadena is a city of researchers, students, clinicians, and weekend hikers — people who spend long hours reading and want their evenings and weekends free of lenses.
Caltech, JPL, PCC, and ArtCenter fill Pasadena with people who stare at screens and instruments all day. Contact lenses dry out; glasses reflect. LASIK gives you clear, uncorrected vision from the first meeting to the last.
Trail runs in Eaton Canyon, loops around the Rose Bowl, cycling the Arroyo — Pasadena is an outdoor city. LASIK means no lenses to lose, fog, or fill with sweat, and most patients are back to full activity within days.
The lifetime cost of glasses and contacts typically far exceeds a one-time LASIK fee, and the corneal correction lasts for decades. Financing spreads the cost into monthly payments many patients find comparable to what they already spend on lenses.
A consultation is the only way to know for sure, but these are the factors we evaluate. Good candidates generally check most of these boxes.
Your glasses or contact prescription has held steady for at least a year, indicating your vision has stabilized.
Generally 18+ with eyes that have finished changing — many patients are treated in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
Adequate corneal thickness and no active eye disease. We confirm this with corneal mapping at your evaluation.
Manageable in many cases — we treat the ocular surface first. Significant dry eye may point toward an alternative.
If LASIK isn't ideal, PRK, EVO ICL, or refractive lens exchange may be a better fit — we offer the full range.
Hormonal changes can shift your prescription temporarily. We recommend waiting until your vision has settled.
Not a LASIK candidate? We offer the full range of LASIK alternatives — PRK, EVO ICL, and refractive lens exchange — and we will tell you plainly which one fits your eyes.
Modern LASIK is bladeless and mapped to your individual eye. Here is what that means at Berg-Feinfield.
Detailed topography and iDesign 2 wavefront analysis capture more than 1,200 measurements of each eye before anything is treated.
A femtosecond laser creates a thin, precise corneal flap — never a mechanical blade — for greater consistency and safety.
The Alcon WaveLight Pro excimer laser reshapes the cornea to your eye's individual map, not a generic prescription.
Every post-operative visit and our enhancement policy are part of your all-inclusive fee — no surprise line items.
From your first evaluation to clear, glasses-free vision — the process is the same at every Berg-Feinfield office.
Comprehensive corneal mapping, a dilated exam, and an honest candidacy assessment — plus your all-inclusive quote. Consultations are free.
On surgery day, numbing drops and a mild sedative keep you comfortable. The laser treatment takes about ten minutes for both eyes; plan on about an hour in the office.
You'll rest with your eyes closed for a few hours, so arrange a ride. Most patients notice dramatic improvement by that evening.
We see you the morning after surgery to check healing and clear you to drive, work, and get back to screens.
Your follow-up visits happen at the Arcadia office, fifteen minutes from Pasadena — or with your own Pasadena optometrist through our co-management program.
A board-certified ophthalmologist and refractive surgery pioneer who has performed more than 50,000 LASIK procedures — including on his own partner.
Honored among the top 5% of LASIK surgeons in the United States, and one of only 50 U.S. surgeons selected for the clinical trials of the Implantable Collamer Lens.
From radial keratotomy to today's wavefront-guided, all-laser platforms, Dr. Berg has practiced through the entire history of refractive surgery.
On the faculty at USC training ophthalmology residents, and medical director of the Kobe Laser Center in Japan.
If LASIK isn't your best option, you'll hear it — and you'll hear which alternative is.
Our Arcadia office serves Pasadena and the entire San Gabriel Valley. Patients on the west side of Pasadena and in Eagle Rock sometimes prefer Burbank via the 134.
