"I wanted to have LASIK done for years but decided that I could not afford it so I never looked into it. My vision was so bad that I could barely see anything in front of me, all I could see was shadows. In 2006, I had to have a C-Section to deliver my son and I was not permitted to wear contacts or take my glasses into the operating room. My husband had to put my son right up in my face so that I could see him, and this did not happen until after he was already cleaned and wrapped up in his blanket, and I felt that I missed out on the delivery of my son because I was unable to see him when the doctor lifted him up for my husband and I to see him and while the nurses were getting him cleaned up under the warming lamp. All I could see was shadows all around me. To have a child and not be able to see him until I went back into the Labor and Deliver room and put my glasses on was a very sad and upsetting experience for me. I had infertility problems and was not sure if I would ever conceive so needless to say I could not wait to meet my son. So, to have to wait until I was back in the Labor and Delivery Room to see him was not easy. I felt like I missed out on a beautiful event. I could hear everything going on around me but could not see any of it. And, once we got him home I was sleeping in my glasses because I was afraid I was going to miss something. Within a few months after he was born I went to LasikPlus Vision Center to have LASIK and it was a good thing I went when I did because I was on the border-line of not being able to have the procedure due to my eye-sight. I was scheduled to have the procedure the following week and I had to have another eye check right before I went back because I was told if my vision had changed even a little in that week then they would not be able to perform the procedure. Luckily, I had the procedure and had instant results and went back to work the next day. It was not painful and I have suggested to everyone I know who may need LASIK to have it done. The staff was nice, helpful and very informative and paying for it was easy with the zero percent interest plan. I am happy to say that I just had my daughter in January of 2008 by C-Section and this time thanks to LasikPlus Vision Center I was able to see everything and it was wonderful. I was able to leave the operating room not feeling like I missed out on one of the greatest experiences of my life."Crystal, Plant City, FL Vision Center: Tampa, FL | |
| "The process of getting the procedure done scared me! The doctor was so reassuring, she made me very comfortable though, and everything went well. After getting lasik, the next morning I looked at the alarm clock and guess what? I could see what time it was! To this day, I'm still confusing myself because it used to take me 1/2 and hour to get to bed taking contacts out and stuff. Now I can just brush my teeth wash my face and be done. Driving is also amazing, because I don't have to worry about my vision coming to focus and blurring. I LOVE IT!!" Vanessa, Denver, CO Vision Center: Denver, CO | |
"I had an appointment elsewhere but someone said go to LasikPlus, I did."Summer, St. Paul, MN Vision Center: Oakdale, MN | |
| "I had LASIK eye surgery a little over a year ago and it dramatically changed my life. My vision was about as bad as can be before being legally blind. I struggled with dry red eyes from contacts and I was often told I looked tired from that. My days revolved around putting in contacts and taking out or trying to refresh my eyes. I can remember countless times being miserable by the end of the day because my contacts were so uncomfortable and glasses get in the way of so many activities. Now after LASIK, I wake up excited to see everything so clearly. Nighttime is so much better because when my kids come in my room for something, I can see them. It's added security to not have to rush to get glasses on just to see something. I tell everyone it is the best thing I have ever done! What a gift! Thank you!"

"Only have one regret concerning my experience with LasikPlus and that is the fact that I didn't have the procedure done sooner. My experience with my local office from the first consultation, to the surgery and the follow up process was nothing but wonderful. The entire staff was always friendly and professional always answering any questions or concerns that I had. I'm still amazed at how quick, easy and pain free the entire process was. The staff made me comfortable and talked me through the entire procedure. How could I not be happy with 20/15 vision? I went back to my optometrist for an annual check up a year after my procedure and he could not believe that I had Lasik done and stated it was the best job he had ever seen. If you ever need a spokesperson or a reference, you can count on me as I'm your number one fan. Thanks a million!"Tim, O'Fallon, MO Vision Center: StLouis, MO | |
"Clean, kind, courteous. They made it simple and soothing."Joe, Stillwater, MN Vision Center: Oakdale, MN | |
| "After using contacts for over 15 years, I decided to give laser vision correction a try in December of 2006. A coworker of mine recommended LasikPlus because of the wonderful experience that she had there. My initial exam was a great experience and it sold me on the procedure. I scheduled the surgery for January 2007. It was one of the best decisions in my life. 2007 was the best year of my life. Maybe that was because I got married, but the laser vision correction sure helped. I enjoyed a year of clear vision including the wonderful scenery of Iguassu Falls in Brazil. Thanks LasikPlus!"
