I started wearing reading glasses at 45 yrs after having a 20/20 vision. My brothers decided to do in LASIKPlus in Plano TX and they paid $1000 less but their experience wasn't as good, although they are doing better now. My brothers had headaches after the procedure and pain during. I didn't have ANY PAIN and Dr. Bowen doesn't use any "dark glasses" I didn't have to get my eyes dilated! They use other high tech cameras and gadgets! I didn't feel any pain! And had a blast with the "explosion of colors and shapes" that you experience during the procedure :) LOVED IT! Highly recommended !

Jagger, who was in his 20s at the time, could not have been more right. How he knew this nugget of truth in his 20s is remarkable. I went to see Dr. Nettune about eye surgery. I liked the fact that the building has huge letters on it "Eye Institute of Dallas" because frankly if you need eye surgery you can't possibly see the addresses on the buildings. So that was a good start and much appreciated. The office was clean and modern. They practiced. social distancing in the availability of chairs, which I liked tremendously. I arrived before my appointment time but I did not have to wait too long to get started. All of the people with whom I interacted were friendly, professional, and very competent. I went through a battery of exams to assess my situation. It was all very thorough. When I was able to see the doctor I did not feel as if he was trying to upsell me or rush me into something I did not need. I told him my situation and my end goals, and we decided on a course of action that seemed appropriate. My surgery is upcoming as this review is written but I feel confident that I have made the right decision.

Staff and everybody was nice. I was given the option of getting the SMILE procedure where both eyes…read morewould be equal even though I might require "readers" sooner or later or have the procedure of getting one eye set for far away and the other for near. I opted for SMILE because I didn't care if I needed readers eventually or even from day 1. For 49 years I've never been able to see far away, That's literally all I wanted. Combine that with the fact I'm left handed/dominate, I knew doing 1 eye far/1 close was simply not going to work. If that was my only option, I would have stayed with glasses/contacts. When I went through the exam and they dialed in what my eyes should be after the procedure, I could have cried. Not only could I see/read the bottom line of the chart, I could make out the lines around the letters. Both eyes. The best I've ever seen in my life. To be honest, they could have doubled the price and I would have figured out a way to pay for it. Now the bad. Every post-op exam they would ask what procedure was I having. I would say the SMILE procedure, which would illicit a pause until I would add, both eyes the same. I should have questioned things then but I did not. They are professionals and if their chart is different, they would ask or talk to the doctor, things would be clarified? Right? I guess not. Day of procedure, they put the drops in my eyes so I couldn't see and the person leading me to the op room asked what procedure I was having. I said SMILE, there was yet another pause (couldn't see it but could hear it) so I added, both eyes the same. Something was written on a tag and stuck to my shirt (ask for that BEFORE the drops so you know for sure they write the correct procedure). Because I didn't speak up, I take partial responsibility, hence 2 stars and not 1. The actual procedure was smooth, relaxing and I didn't feel a thing. Aside from my vision, the only drawback on the whole procedure was my massive dry eyes (not their fault at all as they said it could happen) and gall of the makers of xiidra for selling the most expensive liquid in the world ($700 for 30 small vials). That stuff burned my eyes like I was swimming in a massively chlorine dosed pool. I only used it for a few days before I went back to the regular drops. $700 wasted but nothing to do with the 2 stars. Every post-op exam, I would explain my left eye is seriously lagging and is it possible they didn't perform the SMILE procedure? It was always brushed off as "it's still healing and might catch up". At this point, my left eye (the one they made see close) feels heavy because it's fighting to be the dominate eye, my right/far vision eye isn't as clear as the pre-op exam. During my last exam, I explained the most unsettling part is when driving at night, I can't read street signs until I'm right up on the sign. I told them I really needed a glasses prescription because I can't live this way. They never admitted I didn't receive the SMILE procedure and was happy to give me a glasses prescription. Ultimately I was told because my left eye "didn't heal as they would liked", I was eligible to have that eye corrected for the discounted price of $999. In my mind, I was thinking, an extra grand to get the procedure I thought I was getting from the start? Why not just do what everyone agreed upon and raise the price a grand? Before the DR left the room, I knew I would be going elsewhere eventually and was starting to work out how long it would take me to pay for another procedure (I'm not rich and my eye insurances pays $0.00. My heath insurance did pay all but $60 of the most expensive liquid in the world, so that was nice). The reason why I decided to write a review, is the glasses prescription. I use that to buy glasses at 2 different online stores. One regular pair and 1 sunglasses. Both are off. Mind you, I've worn glasses/contacts my whole life and have ordered both off the internet since that was a thing. Glasses prescriptions are easy to enter. My vision in both is pretty good as long as I'm looking directly out of the middle of the lens or upward. Looking down/down left/right and not so great. If both glasses came from the same company, maybe their fault. Coming from 2 different companies and well... That is what has prompted this long review. I have since known a two people who had lasik after me, both asked about my experience and if I would recommend where I went. I told them the procedure is no big deal. As far as where to have it done, I don't know, let me know. I'll be going to one of their DR's to get my left eye fixed. Sad I'll miss that massive "discount" rate of an extra $999 but oh well.

I came in for what should have been a routine contact lens exam, and the entire experience left me…read morefrustrated and concerned about my insurance costs. During my visit, I was diagnosed with "dry eyes," which I understand can happen. What I don't understand is why that turned into being required to return to the office once a week for the next three weeks--each visit billed separately, of course. These extra appointments felt excessive and unnecessary, and they ultimately drove up my out-of-pocket expenses and insurance claims for something that should have been simple. On top of that, when I asked for a copy of my contact lens prescription, I was denied. I still haven't received it, which is unacceptable and directly impacts my ability to purchase lenses elsewhere. Overall, this practice feels more focused on generating charges than providing patient-centered care. I cannot recommend them and would urge others to proceed with caution.

Having flown to Dallas from Denver without either glasses or my contact lenses, I was in trouble…read more Three days to go and only one pair of daily wear lenses. CRAP. After having contacted 4 different optometrists, I called Plaza Vision, who told me to come over with my prescription and they'd see what they could do. Walking into the office, the staff was just so incredibly nice, and helpful... what a difference from the other local doc's offices. So, I handed over my prescription, and they took it back to the doc, Dr. Newman. GO FIGURE... he actually personally knew my optometrist from Denver. Within about 20 minutes, they'd called my doc, waited for the office to track him down, gotten agreement on a suitable substitute, and gotten me into some contacts for the next few days. After the first few phone calls to other places, I never thought that it would happen today. WHAT A RELIEF. So, if you want fantastic customer service, please try out Plaza Vision... they're a wonderful breath of friendly fresh air in an age of places that really don't care about you. THANK YOU, Dr Newman and all of your Staff! :)

It has been over four months since my surgery, and I could not be more pleased with the results…read more Dr. M and his staff made this a great experience for me. I would like to share my story and background if my history relates to other prospects considering the PRK procedure. I am a 40-year-old male, and before my surgery, my prescription was -4.25/-4.50 with a slight/mild astigmatism in both eyes. I started needing glasses at the age of 12 and I was in contacts by 13. About 5 years ago, I started noticing the discomfort of wearing contacts on a daily basis. I would come home from work, and immediately take them out, if I had no plans that evening. I also have extremely dry eyes, and usually use re-wetting drops frequently. I have always found glasses to be a nuisance, and wearing them for long periods of time gave me a headache. My goal was to get Lasik by the time I turned 40. I priced out the surgery with several surgeons in the D/FW metro-plex, including my optometrist, and I found the PRK procedure to be rather competitive to the traditional Lasik procedure, so I decided to make an appointment with Dr. M./M Lasik Center since there was no fee for the consultation. (I ended up paying about $200 more than what my eye doctor quoted me, based on my prescription, and considering my astigmatisms.) Halfway through the consultation, I already knew I had decided that this is the route I wanted to go. Dr. M. encouraged me to do my research first before making a solid decision, but I was already sold. During the consultation, Dr. M. has you watch a video of his competitor (a local Lasik surgeon) that had Dr. M. perform the PRK procedure on all 5 of her children. There's really not much more that needed to be said at that point. I have heard stories about how many Lasik patients feel like cattle during their procedure, as other institutions perform this procedure in droves. At M Lasik Center, there's only one procedure at a time, and Dr. M. performed it himself, with his nurse in the room to assist him. After the procedure, I was taken into a post-recovery room, where I was the only one in there. I felt like I was the only patient that day, and cannot relate to other stories that I have heard. Post-surgery: I did have a lot of headaches and I was overly fatigued, but that was due to the fact that my eyes were sensitive to the steroid drops given, which is rare, but in my case, it happened. I do keep my eyes moistened throughout the day, as post-PRK patients need to since the eyes can be dry for 6-12 months after surgery. The headaches are due to your eyes trying to adjust to their new setting, and that does not recalibrate overnight. Just be patient and understand that it is part of the process. If you don't choose M Lasik Center, you should at least consider the free consultation. If you do choose Dr. M., just remember that the PRK procedure is different than the traditional Lasik procedure. Do NOT listen to your friends or others that have had the traditional Lasik procedure, because you might hear some conflicting information. Pay attention to Dr. M. and follow every instruction he gives. It can be scary and you probably will be nervous, but you are in great hands and within a couple of months after the surgery, your only regrets will be that you didn't do this sooner.
