Dr.Shriver and Dr.Kim were exceptional during both my initial screening and surgery. Chanel and Mary were great faces and personalities for the front of the office. Everything went flawlessly from the consult to post op follow up. The only discomfort I had was when I got home and my eyes wouldn't stop watering, like the feeling of sand in them. After the first 5 hours that subsides significantly. I am telling everyone to go to this office as they will not regret it. Saves money and time in the long term
I was nervous at first. That fact that this procedure is bladeless put me at easy. ZERO pain, super quick recovery. I would’ve paid double for what they did. How can you put a price on your vision? A+++ 100 star rating if I could. My only regret is that I didn’t do this 5 years ago.
I had PRK at LasikPlus about a month ago to correct my nearsightedness (-5.5 in both eyes). I was initially disappointed to find out that I wasn't a good candidate, but was given the option for PRK instead so I decided to go that route. Before my surgery, I read everything I could find on PRK and decided that I actually preferred this option in the long run because I wouldn't have to deal with the flap from LASIK. I read several different recovery stories and had a very good idea what to expect in terms of recovery time and pain. The surgery itself was amazing. I experienced no discomfort at all and I don't think it took more than ten minutes. The next two days after surgery were very uncomfortable, but not painful. It took about two weeks for my eyes to really get to the point where I felt my vision was just about perfect, but I was able to work (remotely on the computer) after about a week as long as I turned down the brightness on my monitor and adjusted the resolution on my screen. I'm a month out now and confident that I can see as well as I did (if not better) with the contacts and glasses I've been wearing for 30 years. I would highly recommend the folks at LasikPlus. The staff is professional and knowledgable. My only regret is not doing this surgery earlier. It's truly life-changing.
