So i was super skeptical to get this procedure done as with a lot of people it sounds a little scary. I went in on the day of my surgery at 1:15 and was out the doors by 1:50, the actual surgery part probably only took less than 20 minutes. They walk you through the entire thing as it’s going on and numb your eyes so you feel little to no discomfort. It’s definitely a weird feeling but was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. The staff is super friendly and very precise. I felt discomfort and stinging about half an hour after it was done went home took a 3 hour nap and woke up and most of it subsided. It was still a little sensitive but after I woke up the next day the pain was non existent. I could already see so much better and my vision is 20/10 which is two lines better than 20/20. On top of all that I qualified for the 250$ per eye deal which was definitely the sweetener for me. Overall the best decision I made for myself hands down these guys are amazing!
Such an amazing experience start to finish! As others have mentioned, the staff is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Throughout the process, they ensured that I felt comfortable and informed with every step. They are so efficient, I only waited a week for my procedure and never more than 5 minutes when arriving to my appointments. If you are considering having lasik, DO IT! And have it done at LasikPlus. This will be one of the best decisions of your life!
Just had it done last Friday and after having my eyes closed Friday evening I could see perfectly Saturday morning. All the staff was great. Dr Zeider was easy to work with and Dr Thompson even called me the night before surgery to see if I had any questions. Thank you to all the staff for such a great experience and result!
I can see!!! My eyesight journey has been a long one. I had an astigmatism in both eyes and couldn’t see my own hand clearly if it were 10 inches from my face. Finally I went to Lasik+ after a few friends and my eye insurance mentioned it. I was a good candidate and even though it took me a year to go back, I’m SO happy I did. It’s still a little early for me (1-day after post-op) but I can see so well. The staff here has been amazing the entire process and Dr. Thompson was professional and kind. Couldn’t recommend anything more life changing!
