I’m 48 hours post op and couldn’t be happier! I’ve worn contacts for 21 years and glasses even longer. Dr. Smith and his team took amazing care of me and were very thorough in explaining everything to me. They really settled my fears and anxieties and now I have perfect vision! The procedure was so fast and it was over before I knew it.
Incredible experience. I was a -5.3 and -3.85 with an astigmatism. Making an appointment was easy, the free consult was quick, easy and very informative. The staff was nice and professional. Dr smith explained everything in detail before the actual procedure. The procedure itself was so quick! Had my done on a Friday, And I walked out that day. Went in for my follow up on the following Monday and I now have 20/15 vision ! So amazing. Would recommend 100%. Not sure why I waited so long to take the plunge.
I was completely at ease before, during, and after my procedure. The post-op staff was very honest about what to expect in the few hours following the surgery. (They were right!) From the ladies at the front desk helping with financing to the last person I saw on my way out of the office..total professionalism. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to have LASIK done.
They took me through the whole process carefully each step of the way and now I can see clearly without contacts or glasses. Highly recommend. Update a month after, my eyes healed in about a week and a half and since then I have not needed to put any drops at all in my eyes. Can see perfect. Wish I would have done it earlier
Best decision I’ve ever made! Extremely pleased with my results. My procedure was less than 24 hours ago and I can see without any glasses! The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable! Dr. Smith is the best! I highly recommend LasikPlus in Plano!
