From start to finish, I had a great experience. They explained to me the entire procedure multiple times as it's very scary getting work done on your eyes. What if I go blind? Nonetheless, the procedure was QUICK and PAINLESS. Highly recommend Lasik to all my friends. Whether it's here or another trusted source. The cherry on top was the text message from Dr Sharpe the evening after my procedure checking in with me. He was so kind, caring, and friendly. Thank you again for giving me a great vision. read more

I have nothing to say but "wow". From the gorgeous office, to the incredibly professional staff, to the extremely knowledgeable surgeon - this could not have been a better experience. Dr. Sharpe was outstanding and even texted me personally to make sure I was doing okay after the procedure. I have never experienced such a wonderful medical procedure. On top of that my vision is 20/15 and I have zero pain the very next day. Cannot recommend SharpeVision enough! read more

I've been so hesitant the last few years with getting Lasik, but SharpeVision made it such a easy and seamless process for me. The consultation was free where they checked my vision and determined if i was a candidate for it along with giving me the options/costs (which lasik was best for me). Day of operation took maybe 1-1.5 hours total. Got seated. Checked my vision one last time. Explained what to do/what not to do for the next week. Operation itself took maybe 3-5 minutes or less. They spent a few seconds on each eye and the doc counted it down and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Downtime was a huge nap/sleeping it off. Currently writing this now in my car less than 24 hours post op seeing 20/20! read more

Dr Lancaster and the rest of the team at Sharpe Vision made my Lasik procedure comfortable and hassle-free! Id recommend them to anyone in Chicago considering the procedure​ read more

Definitely the first choice for Lasik in Chicago!!! Dr Lancaster did amazing job on my Lasik. Second days my both eyes got 20/20!! Even they just opened 5 years, I can't believe any other lasik place rather than them!! Employees are so nice and helpful! BTW, love the decorations, amazing taste!!!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of undergoing LASIK surgery at SharpeVision, and I must say, the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was met with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The staff at SharpeVision truly stands out for their professionalism and expertise. They were attentive to my needs and took the time to address any concerns I had, ensuring that I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The level of care and attention to detail they demonstrated was truly exceptional. Dr. Lancaster and his team are undoubtedly at the forefront of modern LASIK technology. Their state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques made me confident that I was in capable hands. Driven by their passion for helping people achieve optimal vision, they left no stone unturned to ensure the best possible outcome for me. I am ecstatic to say that the results of my LASIK surgery have been absolutely remarkable. Thanks to SharpeVision, Dr. Lancaster and his team, I now have 20/10 vision, surpassing what I thought was even possible. The clarity and sharpness I experience every day is truly life-changing, and I am immensely grateful for the skill and expertise of the entire SharpeVision team. Not only did SharpeVision deliver exceptional results, but they also provided outstanding post-operative care. They have been readily available to answer any follow-up questions I had and provided thorough guidance on the healing process. It is evident that they genuinely care about their patients' well-being and want to ensure their vision remains at its best. I received follow-up text messages that evening from Dr. Lancaster himself, and was greeted by Dr. Govan the next morning. I am still in disbelief that the next morning after my procedure I was seeing 20/10. Let me mention that 20/10 vision is very very rare. Dr. Govan said that I was the first patient to see 20/10 at the 1-day follow-up. Thank you so much!!! I cannot recommend SharpeVision enough to anyone considering LASIK surgery. They are a true testament to excellence in the field, with a dedication to delivering unparalleled results. If you are looking to achieve perfect vision and want a team that prioritizes your comfort and satisfaction, SharpeVision is the clear choice. Thank you, SharpeVision, for giving me a great experience and the gift of exceptional vision. I am forever grateful for your expertise and care. Thank you Dr. Lancaster. Thank you Dr. Govan. Thank you Alexis. Thank you Irene. Thank you Ioannis. read more

Had a great experience at SharpeVision! From the initial consultation to post-op, the process was super seamless and staff incredibly kind. I've worn glasses / contacts for the last 25+ years and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. The actual procedure was very quick and painless. They made sure I felt prepared with what to expect and how to properly care for my eyes after surgery. I'm now seeing 20/15 (better than 20/20) and couldn't recommend Dr. Lancaster and his team enough! read more

My friend had LASIK done here a couple years ago with Dr. Sharpe and had a great experience. He was thrilled with his vision and had no dry eye or any other complications from the procedure. I went ahead and booked a consultation for the following day. As everyone else says, the office is beautiful and the staff makes you feel welcome right when you come in. The consult was incredibly easy and I loved chatting with Dr. Ganesh. I was a little unsure when they told me Dr. Sharpe wouldn't be doing the procedure since he practices in Seattle now, but after reading Dr. Lancaster's bio, I felt more than confident in his ability. However, I was disappointed I didn't get to meet him during the consultation. Nevertheless, I booked the procedure for the earliest time available, which was 4 weeks out. Upon arriving on surgery day, I was given some paperwork to fill out, and loved that they give you the option to open the curtains so other people can watch (which I did). I was disappointed nobody before me did the same thing though, as I wanted to watch too! Anyway, after about 20 minutes I was called back and Dr. Ganesh checked my vision one more time. She said my prescription matched exactly with the one they took during the consultation. She gave me three 5mg tablets of Valium to calm my nerves and help me sleep after. After another 20 minutes or so, my nerves started going away and I just started feeling excited! I could hear the procedures of the people going before me, and couldn't wait for my turn. Finally, Dr. L opened the door and joined me to go over the procedure and answer any questions I had. Once that was done, he walked me in and I lay down on the chair. I was given some numbing drops first and asked to close my eyes. After a minute or so, Dr. L propped open my left eye and started walking me though what he was doing. I had a little trouble looking at the light in the femto laser, as it looked like it was moving. Maybe that was due to the suction? I guess I eventually looked in the right direction as my vision went dark and he eventually removed it. Then the right eye, which went smoother. At this point everything looked like before. I was then swung over to the excimer laser and this time my right eye was done first. This was the really fun part! I could see Dr. L lifting the flap, but because I couldn't feel anything it seemed kind of like watching a movie. Once lifted, things get super blurry but you can still see the blinking light. They then started the laser and I was hit with the smell of burnt hair. I remember commenting on it between eyes and Dr. L said "that's the smell of good vision." The laser lasted around 20 seconds, so it was super fast. The incredible part is that you can literally see your vision get better while it's lasering. Once the flap is put back down, it's like everything goes into HD. This was repeated for my left eye and suddenly it was all over. I was told I could get up and everything was super clear already, except for some cloudiness from the drops they add at the end. Dr. L inspected my eyes one more time and said I could go on my way! On the way out, I was handed an ice pack mask and that was that. I had a little light sensitivity on the way home but overall was comfortable. A little before getting home, I started getting a little burning, like when you're cutting onions. This is where the comfort drops came in clutch. They burned a little going in but completely wiped out any discomfort. Once home, I wasn't able to sleep, so just listened to some music with my eyes closed for 2 hours. After that I got bored and felt good enough to do some things. I ended up hanging out with my neighbors and having a couple drinks, applying the comfort drops every hour or so. Dr. L texted a couple hours later and wished me well, which was cool. The next morning my eyes felt completely back to normal, and my vision was already amazingly clear. I went to my follow-up appointment and tested 20/20 in each eye, and 20/15 with both. As time goes on I think that will improve further as I had a little blurriness from the contrast of the letters on the background. I am now just over a week out from the procedure and my vision is super sharp. I believe it's better than it was with contacts in before. The only remaining side effects I have as some glow around bright lights in black backgrounds, as well as a couple red spots on my left eye. Both of these things continue to improve each day. I also have absolutely no dry eye whatsoever. I continue to use my lubricating eye drops simply to ensure they heal properly. One thing I do wish they would do is to take a video during the procedure. I would have liked to send it to friends to gross them out! Overall, my experience has been amazing I would recommend Sharpe Vision to anyone! Thank you to Dr. Lancaster, Dr. Ganesh, Channing, and Hunter for giving me amazing vision! read more

I can't express how grateful I am to Dr Sharpe and the SharpeVision team. I'm five days post LASIK and in love with my new vision. SharpeVision kept me comfortable and confident throughout the entire process, from consultation to post-op care. I appreciate the whole staff's efforts to prioritize my patient experience. read more

I just had my lasik done yesterday and cannot believe how incredible I feel. I am now seeing 20-15 vision (even better than 20-20) and it's mind blowing. Everyone at Sharpe was kind and professional. I keep telling my friends that it was wayyy less painful than getting my wisdom teeth out and honestly even easier than getting laser hair removal. Thank you, Sharpe!!! read more

SharpeVision MODERN LASIK - Laser Eye Surgery/Lasik Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had been debating getting lasik for a few years and finally decided to go to a few consultations to get it checked out. My eye sight wasn't too bad, but I had trouble seeing far away and never wore glasses. I checked out a few places in the Chicago area for consultations (Kraft, Lasikplus, Sharpe, etc.). Several of the other places I went to were extremely expensive ($5k+ even with the discounts!), pushy or didn't make me feel comfortable. SharpeVision was the last place I checked out and I was very impressed by the professionalism & knowledge of the staff. They made me feel comfortable with my decision, prepped me with all the answers to my questions, and did not push me into making a decision unless I felt it was right for me. They were also significantly cheaper than the other places I went to. On the day of the consultation they performed an eye exam, showed me a video to watch, answered questions & provided me with a booklet with more info and eye drop prescriptions before I left. I ended up scheduling my exam before I left with Dr. Sharpe for the following month. Before the day of the exam, I picked up the eye drops and had my appt on Friday around 5pm. It was really packed when I came in and they were behind schedule so I had to wait an hour or two past my appt time before it was my turn. However the actual procedure itself was really quick. Dr. Sharpe was really helpful throughout the whole process and made me feel comfortable! Right after the procedure it was really uncomfortable for my eyes (which they warned you ahead of time). I passed out and slept most of the night, when I woke up in the morning my eye sight was a lot better! I made sure not to rub, wear make up, apply the eye drops, etc. the week after. But I was able to go outside and normal activities the next day. For a few weeks, I was getting a little dizzy and my eye sight was blurry when I was transitioning from near to far. However, I'm no longer experiencing this. It's been several months since my procedure (October and I had it towards the end of July). I have no complaints & glad I made the decision to get it! I can see slightly better than 20/20 and no real side effects. My eye sight is a little more sensitive to light if I go out in the sun, but it's not too bad. No dry eyes, noticeable halos or pain. Highly recommend Sharpe if you're considering Lasik! :) read more

It's been over 2 years now and my vision is still great! I would highly recommend getting LASIK surgery at Sharp Vision! Thanks again!!

I had a wonderful experience at SharpeVision! I had my ICL surgery done on February 24, 2021, and the next day I was already able to see better than I had with my glasses. My prescription pre-surgery was -10 in both eyes, and I have a significant astigmatism. Hunter, (technician), Dr. Ganesh (optometrist) and Dr. Lancaster (ophthalmologist/surgeon) were all wonderful and so helpful during the entire process. I felt very comfortable from my consultation all the way through my procedures. I highly recommend SharpeVision! read more

Absolutely loved this place! They answered all my questions, especially since I was nervous they made sure to cater to me. I would definitely recommend this place! I got lasik just yesterday and I'm feeling great, not as scary as you would think! at they have a student discount, and helped out my mom as well for her questions. Definitely check this place out! read more

I had a great experience getting LASIK at SharpeVision. They do a lot to explain exactly how the procedure works and the risks involved. The procedure was quick and easy and they do everything they can to make you comfortable and answer questions at every point along the way. read more

My experience with SharpeVision has been great! After a very thorough consultation to go over eligibility and risk, we scheduled my procedure for the following week. Everyone was very nice and made sure I was informed, calm, and ready before the procedure. Dr. Lancaster was also very nice and it was all over after just a few minutes. After a nap I had clear vision and minimal pain. I've had had two post op visits and my eyes are healed and my vision continues to get even better. To anyone considering LASIK here, absolutely go for it! read more

It was a great experience. The staff is amazing and explains each step in detail. I wish I would have done it sooner.

Amazing experience--would absolutely recommend! They made the process as easy and enjoyable as possible and I now have 20/15 vision!

After calling and reviewing many LASIK centers across chicago, I decided to book a consultation at SharpeVision and I was not disappointed! Everyone handled me with such care and answered every question no matter how big or small. I was walked through every step with detail. The staff at SharpeVision is amazing and I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to come have a consult here! This was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. I highly recommend!! read more

Every step of the process with Sharpe was phenomenal! The initial consultation was thorough and explained what they recommended and the cost. I scheduled my appointment then and there. When the day of surgery came, I was a bit apprehensive, but the whole team was wonderful, making me feel as comfortable as possible. Dr. Logothetis explained the process and what to expect during & after the procedure, then talked me through every step as it was happening. The first evening was rough, which I expected, but the prescription eyedrops and goodie bag of sunglasses and freezer eye mask were life-savers! At the follow up the next day, I was already seeing 20/20, and a month later, I'm now seeing 20/15, as confirmed in my follow up yesterday. This was truly a life-changing procedure and I couldn't recommend the team at SharpeVision any more highly! read more

I did a lot of research for my lasik procedure and am so glad that I went with Sharpe Vision. I would give my experience six stars if I could - I can't say enough great things. The customer service was unmatched and they addressed all my concerns of the procedure. Dr Govan and Dr Lancaster were amazing and took exceptional care of me pre-procedure, during procedure and post care. Highly recommend doing your lasik procedure at Sharpe Vision! read more

SharpeVision MODERN LASIK - Waiting room - such a comforting waiting room stocked with snacks, mints, coffee and tea as you wait for your procedure - Laser Eye Surgery/Lasik Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I specifically chose SharpeVision because of how accessible their information is. I didn't really know much about Lasik, and their website helped me inform myself. I was able to easily schedule a consultation. Karina was the one who checked me in. Her along with the rest of the staff made sure I was fully aware of everything from price to the process of the actual surgery. On the day of the surgery, they were always asking me for ways they could ease my nervousness. They were very attentive to making sure I knew the recovery process and sent me home with the steps written along with the recovery kit. I am very happy I chose SharpeVision, and if I had to do it all over again, I would still choose them! read more

Excellent experience 10/10 would recommend. Doctors were all super helpful and walked me through the process.

I recently had my lasik eye surgery done. I admit I was very apprehensive about the procedure but the staff at SharpeVision made me feel at ease. They were very professional and answered all my questions. They walked me through several times on what to expect during and after the procedure. So far my surgery has been a success. I recommended this facility to all my family members that have been contemplating lasik. read more

SharpeVision is AMAZING. They did a really great job explaining the process, without talking down to me, and I can tell that they are all passionate about what they do. Dr. Hercules Logothetis did a wonderful job in surgery and was very comforting as the surgery was being done. (Much needed, that was a weird experience) Dr. Ranju Ganesh is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet (I am told its a Minnesota thing). She followed me outside to make sure I got in my uber OK (even after my foolish manly pride tried insisting I was fine). SharpeVision is full of professionals that are very skilled at what they do, but it is their compassion that truly sets them apart. read more

I had such an incredible experience at SharpeVision! Dr.Lancaster was so patient, answered any questions I had, and definitely eased any stress I had about the procedure. It was a very quick and painless procedure with no down time. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in lasik. read more

Such a smooth and amazing experience! All of the staff was so through with the entire process and made it 100% less scary to go through with. Couldn't recommend SharpeVision MODERN LASIK enough and so happy I did Lasik. read more

I had a LASIK procedure here coming up on a year ago and from beginning to end it was a fantastic experience. Easy to make an appointment for the initial assessment. The staff and the doctor were so professional and friendly! It took about an hour and then I set up my actual procedure. It was super easy to schedule, I could easily pick a day and time that suited. The day of the procedure I was nervous, but the staff put me at ease and the time flew by--the actual procedure taking minutes. While it isn't the most comfortable thing I've ever gone through, it's very easy to bear. Immediately afterward I could see really well, went home and went to sleep and I've had beyond perfect vision since then! I highly recommend SharpeVision. read more

I heard their add on the radio and finally decided to pull the trigger and try it. Wearing a mask and glasses during Covid has been the last straw. Went for the free consult and was really impressed. Very professional staff and atmosphere-no pushy sales pitches. Went back a week later for the procedure, same great treatment. Had my follow up appointment today vision is 20/15! Its so great to make plans to donate all my old frames. Do yourself a favor and "just do it" you'll be happy with both the process and results. On a side note it is in Bellevue, not Seattle so you can completely avoid that toilet city. No bums, tents, boarded up buildings and trash- so yay! Thx Dr. Sharpe, Krista and all the staff. read more

From beginning to end, this has been a fantastic and seamless experience. From my 5 stars you can guess that the outcome of my LASIK surgery was positive where I've experienced 20/15 vision by the next day. It's also every step along the way to the actual moment of surgery that has given me such a positive experience. Every team member displayed such kindness and thoughtfulness, which speaks volumes about the culture they've fostered here. The facility itself is beautiful with a beautiful waiting room, exam rooms, and surgical room. They care for your comfort. Every team member was highly informed about the prep, surgery, and recovery which allowed me to ask many questions and make an informed decision. The day of surgery went by quickly but Dr. Govan, Dr. Lancaster and team took their time to answer every question. I was able to walk through the doors about 5mins after surgery. Their take home recovery kit and check-in text message were a wonderful touch. Highly recommend! read more

A fantastic experience! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor and the surgeon both made me feel comfortable going into the surgery. The surgery itself was quick and painless, and the vision improvement has been truly astounding. Would highly recommend! read more

If you're considering LASIK, you have two decisions to make. Is LASIK right for you? And if so, where should you go? Here are my thoughts on both: LASIK: The procedure itself is painless, you'll feel pressure/slight uncomfortableness. The next 10 hours were quite miserable for me though (extreme light sensitivity, burning sensation, general pain). They said to go home and nap but I felt more pressure/pain while laying down which made it impossible to sleep. I would suggest having a caretaker for the first evening, using the comfort drops liberally, making sure you have something to eat, downloading a podcast (you won't be able to look at a screen), and taking the next day off of work. As uncomfortable as those few hours were, it was all worth it. Six weeks later and I'm almost fully healed and my vision is close to 20/15. SharpeVision: Shop around, go for consultations, ask questions. When dealing with something as sensitive as your eyesight it's important that you feel informed, confident, and cared for. One of the main reasons I chose SharpeVision is because I felt there was a higher level of care. Dr. Ganesh checked my vision at the consultation and again right before the procedure, she was also there to answer all of my questions and concerns. Dr. Sharpe did a wonderful job walking me through the procedure and even texted me a few hours afterwards to check-in. It was nice to know that if I had an issue during the night, I could call/text him. The entire staff at SharpeVision is fantastic and if you decide to get LASIK, I'd highly recommend Dr. Sharpe and his team. read more

BEST (& ONLY) LASIK EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Prior to LASIK, I had -8.00 and -7.75 vision with slight astigmatism in both eyes and had worn contacts/glasses for over 30 years. I had researched and sat in on a few LASIK consultations over the past 10 years, but I had never felt that the potential side effects, cost, and efficacy of refractive surgery ALL aligned for me. Then I met Dr. Govan, Dr. Lancaster and the staff at SharpeVision. Dr. Govan (Optometrist) meticulously walked me through all of the steps from pre-op through post-op, how best to prepare (Optase artificial tears! Thx Dr!), what to expect, and answered every question/concern that I had. She showed so much compassion and relieved any anxieties before, during, and after the procedure. Furthermore, the conscientious staff also reinforced this empathetic patient experience throughout the consultation and the day of the procedure. Shortly before the LASIK procedure, I met with Dr. Lancaster (Surgeon), who once again, walked me in detail through the process, and what I would experience. The procedure lasted less than 5 painless minutes! After following their post-op instructions, I had only about 3-4 minutes of discomfort over the next 5-6 hours (thanks to the comfort drops!) and was back to normal activities the very next day! Last but not least, SharpeVision LASIK also comes with a lifetime warranty! So they really do stand behind their work. This was easily one of the best decisions/investments that I have ever made! read more

The staff was very attentive. Was very nervous but everyone made me feel like very comfortable.

I am struggling to put into words how wonderful my experience at SharpeVision was. These folks restored my vision; no gift I've received matches that. My LASIK consultation went as smooth as it could. Minimal waiting time and every question I asked was answered with clarity. At no point did I feel like I was a bother to them, nor did I ever feel like I was being pushed to do something I did not want. The eye exams I got were more thorough than the ones I had with my optometrist. As someone that prioritizes customer service, I knew right after my consultation that this was the right place for me. The day of my surgery was just as seamless as my consultation. Once again, minimal wait times and I had another eye exam. The surgery itself went better than expected. There were only two moments where I felt even the slightest bit of a sensation, but that feeling was certainly not painful and it pales in comparison to anything you experience in your daily routines. Dr. Prickett guided me through the entire process and communicated thoroughly. Immediately after the surgery, I encountered some fogginess, but the vision improvements were noticeable. I experienced minimal irritation in my eyes, and most of that went away after a 4 hour nap. The majority of the aforementioned fogginess is gone and I can now see better than I did before with glasses on! If you are looking into LASIK, you should definitely visit SharpeVision. Dr. Prickett, Dr. Govan, and the entire staff were all a treat. It's a cliche at this point, but the only regret I have is that I didn't do this sooner. read more

I've contemplated LASIK for so many years and always got too anxious to go through with it. I mean, it's your eyes! I took the plunge one month ago and am so thrilled with the results. Literally life changing. Like others, wish I had done it sooner. The office was very organized, friendly, and supportive throughout the process. They made me feel confident and comfortable to finally go through with it. Dr. Lancaster was the surgeon for my procedure and he was kind, calming, trustworthy, and explained everything. It was so much faster than I thought it would be (the Valium helped!) and the worst of it was 4-5 hours following the procedure but even with that pain I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Halos have decreased over time. The optometrist Dr. Govan was very sweet and thorough. Waking up in the morning and being able to see is a miracle! Not having to travel with contact solutions in my liquids bag, no glasses, one less step in my morning and night routine...incredible. I'm 20/20 now and I tell everyone to go see if they're a candidate! read more

Nicest people you can imagine. Ended up even saying I really didn't even need LASIK. Highly recommended place.

For years I'd considered LASIK. With all of the back-alley spots, Groupon deals, and low-budget advertisements I was overwhelmed. After countless attempts, I found Dr. Sharpe and finally committed to getting LASIK. I read numerous case studies and research articles, changed my mind 15 times, cried, started prepping my home for accessibility to the blind... you know, normal stuff. Dr Sharpe and his team quelled my neurosis with their knowledge and hands-on approach. They equipped me with the information I needed from the initial consult to the one-month follow-up. I felt safe under Dr. Sharpe's care. If you're considering LASIK, it's imperative you see Dr. Sharpe. Don't trust your vision to the randoms. Side note: Getting LASIK is the absolute best decision I've made since giving up dairy. I'm out here in the world with my new bionic eyes:) read more

1 day post op today and my vision is Amazing! I ask myself why didn't I do this sooner. The whole experience from beginning to end with SharpeVision was great. Staff was super nice and always ready to answer any questions I had. The day of procedure everyone made me feel comfortable and always explained everything that was going on which made everything so much easier and relaxing. Will definitely recommend to friends and family read more

Hi everyone! It's been exactly one year since I had my IOL surgery and I can say that the results are nothing short of miraculous. I've been able to enjoy sports again, feel the wind on my eyes, and weep at the beauty of a sunset-- things that were simply impossible until I visited SharpeVision. My vision is still a perfect 20/20 and the ONLY side effect I've had thus far is extremely dry eyes, which I was warned about in the beginning. Altogether, this is a very, very minor annoyance. I use prescription eye drops and drugstore reading glasses to reduce strain on my dry eyes, but otherwise? Life is perfect and I hope these guys get enormous amounts of business. read more
