Let's talk Lasik. Granted, it hasn't even been 48 hours since my surgery, so if my eyes fall out, I…read morepromise I'll update this review. I'm the type of person where if there's even a microscopic chance of disaster, I'm certain it'll happen to me. I prepped myself for this surgery by stumbling around my house blindfolded while asking "Could I live like this?" Even with that answer being a resounding "NO," I decided to finally take the plunge before my 40th birthday. In sum, so far it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I strongly regret not doing it a decade ago. The experience at Clear Advantage is streamlined and professional. You quickly feel like you are in great hands and that nothing can go wrong. From the front desk, to the initial assessments with the techs, everyone is extraordinarily friendly while also emanating an air of "chill out dude, we do this all the time." And really, that's all I needed to accept the frightening proposition of lasers slicing my eyes open. The surgery itself is quick and painless. Doctor Peters calmly explains the process, you're in the chair for maybe 10 minutes, and the laser is more fascinating than terrifying. I entered the operation legally blind. Immediately afterwards my vision was still blurry, but much clearer than before. After a 2 hour, Valium-induced nap, I awoke to 20/15 vision. I only had 20/20 with contact lenses. It was a revelation. You must avoid all tv/phone screens during the first day and are on a strict prescription and lubricated eyedrops routine for the next month. It's a nuisance, but easily worth it. I live nearly an hour from Clear Advantage and chose them after a recommendation from my local eye doctor. I strongly feel like they must be the best in the region. Doctor Peters and the entire staff make the process clear, casual and pain-free. It's been nearly 30 years since I've had vision like this without contacts/glasses. Don't make my mistake and rule out this operation from fear.

LASIK. I am writing this review less than 24 hours after my procedure and have already driven to a…read morefollow up appointment sans pain and with 20/15 vision. This is all truly surreal. I was so impressed with the kindness and thoroughness of the process and staff. I initially wanted to get both eyes done but after reviewing one of my eyes they denied it due to some scarring from a previous ulcer. They noted that their practice is conservative with the patients they take and let's be honest, that is EXACTLY what you want when you're going to have a procedure affecting your eyesight. In terms of the procedure I definitely had some nerves but they truly put me at ease with explaining how quick and foolproof the technology is, if your eyes move, the laser moves. How cool? If anyone is on the fence about getting this procedure, I cannot stress enough how incredible Dr. Peters is as well as the whole staff at Clear Advantage. The 1-2 hours of discomfort after the numbing meds wore off is nothing compared to the feeling of waking up being able to see unassisted and without pain. I live a hour away and I am so happy I made the trek to Portsmouth to get this done. 10/10, do it.

He went absolutely above and beyond, and got me the best prescription I've ever had. He actually had me come back two or three more times (for free!) to check and adjust the prescription until it was perfect -- and it really made a difference each time. Not only is my vision sharper, but the prescription lets me relax my eyes like I never could with my other prescriptions... my eyes are less fatigued at the end of the day, and it's much easier to use a computer for long periods of time. He also really encouraged me to adopt healthier eye care practices. I don't know how he makes any money giving out this kind of care, but I know I'll be going back!

The doctor was amazing but will never user that office again because of the receptionist. All started when we arrived 30 minutes early because i wrote the time of the appointment wrong. She was extremely rude about, acting like it was such a inconvenience to her. While i was answering her questions while she was writing in the computer, my 1 year old said fork. And 5 year old started to repeat and say look he said fork and repeated a few time between themselves. She looks a me angrily and tell me " they cant say that here! You need to stop them!" Which caught me off guard. A little bit after that my kids were playing and talking between themselves and i was still answering her questions and she looks at me and says i have to quiet them down because the doctor is trying to work. I do agree that a 1 and 5 year old do speak a little loud, she should have given me the opportunity to finish with her and them redirect and help my kids quiet down. As we were finishing with the questions she was asking I asked about the wi fii password so my daughter could play a game and be quiet as she had asked me to do. She said it quickly and under her breath as if she didn't want to be dealing with me. So I couldn't get the password to work and my daughter wanted to do the game and i was taking care of my 1 year old so i asked my daughter to go and ask her for the password for me. I thought " who can be rude to a cute 5 year old asking the polite to do something so small?" Well this lady can. She angrily told my daughter to ask her mother to do it! My daughters face was surprised, scared and sad. A older lady who was waiting felt bad and when the doctor came to the reception asked him for the password for my daughter. It was a horrible experience because of this receptionist!

My Cataracts had grown and bright light blinded me so I made the decision to go forward with surgery with Dr. Lasonde. My left eye with Toric addition was completed first and was successful, a month later my right eye was operated on but my sight was distorted afterwards. When I returned for a follow up appointment, it was determined that I had an inflection in my eye and I had to be on eye drops for another 3 weeks so that made 3 months I would have to be without glasses! I returned for a new refraction and although I could not see perfectly with my right eye, I was told I had 20/20 vision. I decided to have my glasses filled at an independent Optician and the script was read to me and I was lied to! I needed glasses for close and far! I am now looking for an honest eye doctor, how sad!

I could really use some good luck today…read more First, they requested a referral from my PCP without even asking me. I have vision insurance, and I specifically told them I wanted that used. Instead, they billed my health insurance anyway. Second, they dilated my eyes again, even though they had done it just a few months earlier. It didn't seem necessary, and it felt like another way to bill my health insurance instead of my vision plan. Then, when it came time to fit my progressive lenses, the machine they normally use wasn't working. Instead of taking proper measurements, the employee just estimated everything by sight. I usually wait about four weeks for my glasses, but these came in after only one week, which immediately made me wonder if something was wrong. As soon as I put them on, I knew they weren't right. I tried wearing them for two days, hoping my eyes just needed time to adjust, but they don't. My vision is cloudy, and the glare and reflections are so bad you can barely see my eyes through the lenses. I have an appointment today so they can "see what they can do." I'm really stressed and hoping they make this right. Wish me luck!

I made an appointment as a new patient with Dr McManus after experiencing problems with my vision…read moreand a very poor experience with my previous provider. Dr McManus was able to get me in for an appointment within 48 hours. My appointment was late in the day but that did not keep him from completing a very thorough examination. Over the course of my first visit along with 3 additional appointments and fittings, he made several suggestions for the care of my eyes and adjustments to my current prescription. The most significant change was a large reduction in power. I've now been fitted with new properly fitting contact lenses and glasses with an accurate prescription. You may think that 3 or 4 visits sound excessive. However, my previous optician had me wearing lenses that were so inaccurate that it took several weeks for my eyes to settle down enough to be accurately assessed. I could not be happier with the care and service Dr McManus and his team provided. I am telling everyone I know about my fantastic experience. If you are looking for a professional, truly caring optometrist who is not just out to sell you the latest fad or process you through some assembly line, I would highly recommend that you make an appointment. It's refreshing to know that you can still find a great doctor with years of experience right around the corner.
