Cannot say enough good things. Everyone who works there was friendly and knowledgeable. The surgery itself was short and recovery was easy as long as you follow their instructions. They really try to set you up for success. Would recommend it to anyone that is looking to have lasik done. It is a game changer!
Couldn’t recommend this place more! From the consultation to the procedure, the staff was amazing and super friendly! Dr. Howard Adelson was who I had for the procedure and he walked me through everything and made me feel very comfortable. I was super nervous going into it but so glad I did it! I have 20/15 vision 3 days after my procedure and I had -5.75 in each eye before. If you are on the fence about lasik, go for it! It’s so worth it!
10/10 would recommend for Lasik. I am a little over 1 week post-op. The procedure was so easy, quick, and the recovery was as well. I have 20/20 vision now and did pretty soon after the procedure. Dr. Adelson was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Trapp, the pre & post-op doc is great as well! I wish I would have done it sooner. If you have been considering Lasik, just do it and get it at Adelson Eye & Laser Center!
The surgery itself was awful for me. The doctor told me this is VERY uncommon though! And I still recommend the surgery! I was very calm going into it, so anxiety was not a factor at first. I actually felt them cutting my cornea and it was extremely painful. The drops didn’t start working until the second part of my second eye - where they lift the flap. I could feel that it was getting a little numb. Thankfully the procedure is very quick! Post-op was a breeze for me! I only had discomfort for a 2 days after and occasional dryness at night. But my eyesight was excellent and I had no complications or discomfort after the surgery.
Great experience from start to finish. Only two days out from my procedure so healing is still taking place. Currently a little eye sensitivity, dryness and halos; other than that I can see just as well as I did when I used to wear contacts. Except now, I don't have to worry about my morning and night routine. Will update when healing is finished and hopefully the halos go away :)
