    I took my 11-year old son in here based on mostly positive google reviews. The assistant who…read moreperformed the initial eye exam stuff was great, hence two stars. The happiness stopped there. After the tech left we waited in the exam room for nearly THIRTY MINUTES. Then Dr ??? came in. Why don't I know her name? Because she DID NOT INTRODUCE HERSELF, did not apologize for the wait, and just walked in and started the exam. Um. Um. Um...????? She didn't provide any info during or after exam, let alone make any sort of small talk or conversation. I finally asked what his vision was (IE on 20/20 scale). She sighed and had him do some other quick test to determine the answer. Her bedside manner wasn't bad, it was simply nonexistent. It was baffling. Maybe her patients are just cattle moving in and out so she can pay for her new office they're building next door. I wouldn't know - she doesn't talk. Unfortunately we also found out when we went to pick his frames after the bizarre appointment that our Blue Cross vision only covered a select brand of frames. I realize this is not her fault, but worth mentioning that you don't get to peruse the cute frames on display if you have certain insurance parameters. Instead, they pull out a little box from under the counter like a street hustler and show you the dozen or so frames you are allowed to choose from. They weren't cute. I realize this isn't her fault, but perhaps when I made the appointment they could've mentioned it when I told them who our insurance was with. Anyway, that aside, I was incredibly unimpressed with Dr. ??? (female - remember, she didn't introduce herself? Yeah, she didn't introduce herself. Or talk to me. Did I mention that? ;P ) and we will not be back. I personally went to Eye Guys for my own exam and glasses a month later and it was an amazing experience, start to finish. Try them ;)

I said I was only interested in routine eye exam for glasses. They stated the doctors order additional tests the eye insurance won't cover. I said well if there is a medical problem I will go to my medical doctor who is covered. Had my eye exam. told them I needed glasses to work on my computer. never mentioned progressives which I don't like. order came back as progressive glasses. said I didn't order progressives please refund. they wouldn't. said they would t even refund the difference between progressives and normal glasses. repeated my concern. Apparently doctor too busy that day to discuss even though the waiting room was empty. be cautious folks.

    After wearing glasses and/or contacts for 25 years, I'd debated lasik for years. Now, only a week…read moreafter, I can't imagine going back. Not having to take contacts out before bed, to avoid getting water in your eyes while showering, or even adjust your glasses during physical activities- I can't believe this is how everyone else has lived all along! Two days after my appointment and I was feeling well enough to do Bloomsday. The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner. The entire team at LasikPlus did a great job with communication, scheduling, and answering any of my questions. Specifically, Dr.Iwanyk who performed my procedure, told me exactly what was happening every step of the way and I felt reassured the whole time (and by whole time, I mean ten minutes). If you are on the fence, do it- you won't regret it (worst case, have a conversation).

Was told that could take up to 3 months to go away. Procedure: It took around 10 minutes or so, eyes fully numbed, then the Dr. pushed some kind of metal rings around my eyes to keep them open, that was awkward. At times I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or closed, as sometimes my vision went black (creepy). Couldn't feel the flaps being cut by the cold laser. When Dr. was pulling the flaps back, what I was seeing looked like it was going up and away from view, also vision was immediately very blurry while flaps were opened. During the laser sculpting, it smelled like burning hair, although no burning occurred. They say it's just a side effect of the laser reacting with molecules. Vision came back when flaps replaced. Could see everyone right away when I got up, but very blurry. Overall very happy I had this done. Keep your expectations in check, read all the fine print, etc. This is a life changing experience.
