They told me I had scarred pretty badly and they would do a PTK to remove the scar! I was happy with my eye sight but they were adamant I needed a PTK in which I did in 2023, to which the surgeon did a PTK PRK and astigmatism touch up without my consent! PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES ! PRK is never permanent your eyes will naturally go back - im now stuck with a 1.50+ over correction in the right eye after I asked this clinic not to fix my vision again and only remove the scar, and they forced me to go back to the same surgeon who already ruined my eye in 2022. Now I need a corneal transplant at 29 years old because their surgeons are incompetent and overall shitty. Please save your health time vision and money and don't be me and make my mistake. I wish I never touched my eyes and now I'm back to glasses after 3 years of surgeries and an even worst scar in my eye that can only be removed with a corneal transplant .

My cousin recommended Coal Harbour to me after she got PRK done here because of the price and also…read morebecause of the high volume. High volume doesn't necessarily mean bad at all. It means Dr Kirzner has extensive experience in the field because he's done over 80000 procedures!! My first contact with them was through email. I had asked how long in advance I was to book for an appointment in July. They replied and told me to contact them in May for a July appointment. I called their office to book my appointment then and they took my credit card number for the $300 deposit to secure my spot. Shortly after, I received their information package in the mail. The week of the surgery, I flew in from Calgary the day of my pre-operative exams to see if I was a good candidate for PRK or LASIK. Because of my read up on their very informative website I knew that I was probably going to go with PRK. (Long spiel about the different procedures explained on their website if you're so inclined to know.) It was a bit of a wait to see someone; from the time I got there until the time I left took almost 2 hours. Next day, I am going in for my laser procedure! I get there an hour before the scheduled time to to prep and redo my eye exams two more times. First up, they explain the eye drop medication schedule to you and place them all into the blue pouch along with some really awesome sunnies for after. (Actually, the sunnies are kind of hideous.) Payment is processed and another little eye test again. Dr Kirzner was the first to do my actual eye exam again and then Jeff (?) did the second. Once that was finished, onto the waiting room in the surgical section... When they're ready for you they'll get you to don an awesome surgical cap and booties! You lay down right under the laser and try your best to get comfortable. You'll get numbing eye drops which sort of sting when they're first administered. (Hey, where was the Valium I was hoping to get?) My heart was beating pretty heavily at this point but they explain every step of the way what's expected of you and what they're doing to you. Left eye gets covered first and your right eye gets clamped open. You concentrate on a red blinking light. The assistant announces "30 seconds," at which point Dr Kirzner starts to apply the solution to wipe away the epithelial layer of your eye. Laser starts up and he warns you that you'll smell something like burning hair. I don't feel a thing. I just hear the laser beams doing their thing and my eyes can literally see the patterns that are being burned away. So cool!!! And then it's done within seconds and he covers my eyeball really quickly, then blasts a cold cold liquid solution into my eye. He says, "brain freeze!" to warn me beforehand. A number of different eye drops are administered, then the bandage lens is put in which is basically a contact lens. The eye patch is removed and placed on the opposite eye and all is repeated. Done! I was escorted to the recovery room and laid on a chaise to relax. I was given eye drops to put in 10 minutes later on my own. There was a patient's husband waiting for her in there as well and at one point I started to sit up and chat with him. I was promptly told to lay back and close my eyes by one of the assistants. Oops! It just goes to show how uncomplicated the procedure can be. I felt like I could see pretty well at this point. About 45 minutes later Dr Kirzner came out of the surgical suite to quickly take a close look at my eyes, put in more eye drops, and then let me go. I have my follow up the next morning to check how they're healing and to look for signs of infection. I truly feel that this practice is wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Not just for their incredible pricing, but for how I felt I was treated by all the staff there. It is a busy practice and it is expected that there will be waits, but never did I feel that I was just another number. I paid $2090 for both eyes for uncomplicated PRK plus $200 for medications as of July 2016. Just a side note: I did overhear that they're moving their office in August so people can probably expect a longer wait for an appointment while they get settled in and move.

The personal attention of sitting with me to show me how to take them in & out was greatly appreciated.
