He currently performs up to 200 LASIK procedures per week. Dr. Probst has given over 100 lectures and provides training to surgeons and eye doctors at refractive surgery conferences throughout the world from Brazil to India. He has published over 40 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 35 book chapters on refractive surgery.

As a leader in LASIK, he developed several instruments specifically for refractive surgeons who perform LASIK procedures. Recently Dr. Probst was the first surgeon in Ontario to implant the new Implantable Contact Lens (ICL), designed to correct the vision of people with extremely high prescriptions and who may not have enough corneal thickness for laser vision correction. The results of this exciting new procedure have been extremely dramatic. Patients with -17.0 diopter prescriptions are fully corrected and see well the day after the procedure!

Dr. Probst's extensive experience and genuine concern for each patient is demonstrated through his calm and compassionate manner.
