Ridiculous In a good way. It’s the day after surgery, long before the expected heal time, and I’m slightly better than 20/20!! If you are on the fence, get over it. Extremely fast, painless, and most of all life changing. Thank you so much LasikPlus+
The whole experience was fantastic. The procedure took less than 15 minutes, the staff was amazing and the cost was affordable, especially with financing. I went from terrible vision, 20/200, to 20/15 vision the very next day! I should have done this sooner and thank everyone at LasikPlus for making this possible!
I couldn’t be happier with the staff and doctors at LasikPlus. I never waited more than a couple minutes prior to each appointment. All of the staff and doctors were friendly, thorough and efficient. Dr. Edelstein performed my procedure and knew I was nervous. He explained the procedure and what to expect very well and really helped me relax. I had the procedure on a Friday morning around 0900. It only took a few minutes and while I felt like I had sand in my eyes once I left the office, I went home and slept several hours and only had a slight scratchy feeling in my eyes by 1600, which was greatly helped by the eye drops. I could see very clearly too! I had the follow up appointment the following Monday. I went from 20/400 vision with astigmatism prior to the procedure to 20/15 just days later!! I’m so happy I chose LasikPlus!
This is great! I love getting up in the morning and being able to see clearly! I have gained so much freedom now that I don’t need contacts. Everyone was very nice and very helpful. They answered all of my questions. The process is so fast and recovery time is short.
Want to say thank you to the entire team at LasikPlus St Louis. They made my experience as smooth and seamless as possible. I am now seeing 20/20 (and it’s only been 3 days post op). Couldn’t be happier with results and additional info/knowledge provided.
