Dr. Bansal and his team are truly phenomenal!…read more I've been wearing glasses and contacts for over 20 years and decided I finally wanted to pursue vision correction surgery. I came in for a consultation and after a thorough eye examination, I was notified that due to my high prescription and thin corneas, I was not eligible for Lasik, SMILE or PRK but was eligible for ICL (Implantable Collamer Lenses). I had not previously heard of ICL so the optometrist explained to me that it is a newer (at least in the U.S.) procedure during which micro incisions are made on the eyes and permanent lenses are inserted. The cost is significantly more than the other types of procedures ($11,800) but I was able to pay for half and then finance the other half through CareCredit. I was able to schedule my procedure for the following month after my initial consultation. Dr. Bansal was very transparent during my pre-op appointment and notified me that due to my high prescription and a genetic deformity in my right eye, I would not be able to get to 20/20 vision but would get close. The procedure itself was a breeze and completely painless. I was given Ativan and numbing eye drops. The longest part was waiting for my eyes to completely dilate in the surgery waiting room. I actually fell asleep in there until I was woken up and notified that it was surgery time. The procedure took less than 3 minutes per eye - it was extremely quick! I did not feel any pain, but did feel a little bit of pressure. The most uncomfortable part was having to stare up at an extremely bright light while Dr. Bansal performed the surgery. As soon as it was over and I was wheeled into the recovery room, my vision was already clear! My contact lens prescription was -9.00 in my left eye and -7.00 in my right, so the fact that I could already see pretty clearly right after surgery was incredible. Recovery has been easy. I did experience some blurriness/cloudiness and fluctuations in my vision for the first couple of days, but my vision gradually became more clear. At my one-week post-op exam, my vision was 20/25 in my left eye and 20/30 in my right which is better than what I thought would be possible. I now wake up in the morning and can immediately see and it feels like a miracle. It's now been two weeks since my procedure and I feel comfortable driving. I am absolutely thrilled by my corrected vision and am very pleased with the results! If you're on the fence about getting vision correction surgery, get it done at LaserVue! The team here is amazing and made me feel very comfortable about the entire thing!

Let me start by saying I was referred here by my at the time new Optometrist, who after the surgery…read moredisclosed that I was the 1st patient he referred there. For a fee. 1) You will be given one-sided information about LASIK. 2) If you have a higher correction, you will have to wear glasses again in the future. 3) They will not tell you this. 4) The Surgeon who does your operation is contracted by PLEC, there will be a disconnect between PLEC and the Surgeon resulting in confusion for your after surgery follow up. 5) If you contact PLEC after the surgery they will not answer any questions and refer you to the Surgeon, who will require you to make an appointment and visit their office at additional cost to you. 6) They will attempt to have you finance through GE Care Credit, which appears as a Credit Card on your Credit reports. They will not disclose this. You can not use this card as you would a normal Credit Account and this results in a variety of issues for you in the event that you apply for other credit. I.E... home loans, auto finance or opening other CC accounts. It basically looks like you have x-amount of credit available to you or if it's just after surgery like you have a Maxed Out Credit Card, but it's unusable anywhere but Doctors, Dentists and Vets who accept GE Care Credit. I honestly regret choosing PLEC for my LASIK procedure. The Operator (Sal) is very cordial but he's a Salesman, not a Doctor. PLEC basically owns the LASIK equipment and has local Eye Surgeons come in and perform your procedure for them. I recommend finding a Surgeon who owns and operates their own clinic and uses full disclosure .

I finally decided to have lasik surgery. I've worn glasses since junior high and moved to contacts…read moreabout eight years ago. I'm not a very good contact lens wearer. I believe I'm what one refers to as "crap" when it comes to wearing contacts. I had the type you can leave in for one month. You're supposed to take them out and clean them every couple days. Sadly, I have no concept of time. Long story short, I ended up with infections, etc... I decided to go for lasik and asked my ophthalmologist for a recommendation. He sent me to Pacific. First I had to find out if I was a candidate. I went to the clinic, where I spoke with the very nice receptionist gal and met with the clinic director, Sal Moreno, who seemed to know just about everything when it came to lasik. He's pretty frank; there are no guarantees and he makes sure you're aware of that. Once they'd determined I was a candidate, I came in and was acquainted with the operating room and got to check out all the equipment. Sal outlined exactly what would happen on the day of surgery. They also sent me home with printed instructions. Although, I felt pretty confident after the tour. I really appreciate that they take you into the area and show you everything. It makes the whole experience a bit less surreal. My surgeon was Dr Rich. Earlier, I'd had my friend, an ophthalmologist in another area, check out both surgeons at Pacific and she'd given me the thumbs up. So, in I went. They offered a couple types of sedatives. Oh, gee, I forgot to mention you aren't anaesthetized. When I first learned that (several months ago from a friend), I couldn't believe it. "Wait a minute! Hold on. You're telling me they use a laser on your eyeball while you're freakin' staring at it?!" Insert casual shrug from friend. "Yeah, but I couldn't feel it." "Oh sure", I thought. "Riiiight." Well, it turns out it's true. Anyway, I had the milder sedative, because for some crazy reason, I wasn't worried. That's probably due to all the information provided and the preparation I'd gone through with Pacific. Plus, I have the emotional IQ of a kumquat. Hah, just kidding. More like a stick of balsa wood. Moving right along... The actual procedure was exactly as Dr Rich and Mr Moreno had described to me. The worst part was the device that holds your eyeball. It's a bit painful, but mostly just feels really weird. The procedure is really fast. Dr Rich and Mr Moreno are a well oiled machine, moving efficiently and confidently, but ever so carefully. They describe what's going on and chat comfortably together. I felt I was in good hands. The first thing I said after the procedure was, "I can see your facial features!" It was pretty amazing. But, boy was I tired. My buddy drove me home and I snoozed and then listened to podcasts and audiobooks to amuse myself... no reading! (I'm a big reader.) I was religious about the eye drops. My eyes healed well. Dr Rich warned me, as did my ophthalmologist, that my eyesight would continue to adjust and change, which it did. It's been two months now and I'm very happy I had lasik. My experiences at Pacific were definitely of the five-star variety. I highly recommend them!

I was so nervous and almost got sold the $2000 per eye laser procedure to remove them, when i had several friends who are nurses recommend i don't need the laser, the original extraction method is so easy and all the dr's are good at it. It was not Dr Ripa who tried to sell this, it was eye care institute's Video they make you watch making it sounds like the superior option. I even made an extra apt with her to confirm I'm ok with regular procedure. She assured me I'd be fine. And I was! She is very sweet, friendly, sharp, and attentive. First eye, easy peasy, second eye easy peasy! And it's covered by insurance vs the laser option. The surgery center on 4 th Street is an incredibly professional team. They were all kind, helpful, and knowledgeable vs the actual eye care institute (sometimes in the main location on Cleveland the front desk can be a little overly "gatekeeperish" if you get me.). Eye care institute itself is not as friendly as the Dr, other than the fact they do maintain state of the art equipment. When i came back to have extra apt with the dr to confirm I'm ok with regular procedure vs laser, dr Ripa thought there would be no charge, but i was billed the bill $95 co pay for a question i could have emailed her but the Eye care institute required a whole appointment. That one expensive apt was actually unpleasant because i had to wait long beyond my apt time to speak to the dr and they required eye dilation and everything. Being that, it was not her fault, and Dr Ripa is great! One thing that was very helpful is she recommended i get these distance cheaters for inbetween when my eyes are actually done. That was an incredibly good suggestion, only available on amazon. Yesterday was my second eye. I have no pain, no pressure, only shockingly, now I see better! Thank you Dr Repa!
