LasikPlus Vision Center

WOW!!! I did my research and read plenty of reviews about Lasik surgery, but could not have imagined the magnitude of how life changing this procedure really is! I had my surgery 3 days ago, and couldn’t be happier. I made an initial appt a few weeks ago, to learn more about the cost, procedure, etc. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, very professional. I made the appt and returned for the surgery, last Friday. I was checked in at 1:00, signed final paperwork, purchased the recommended drops. By the way, Dr. Thomas called the night before to see if I had any questions or concerns. One of the nurses lead me to an exam room and explained the post-​op process and also offered a choice of valium or Tylenol PM (more about that later). Dr. Thomas checked my eyes one more time and I proceeded to the waiting area. A short time later I was escorted to the surgery suite, where I was given some numbing drops and the first part of the procedure began, little bit of pressure, NO pain whatsoever, and the staff was great about explaining each part of the process. I was then escorted to a table where the laser portion of the treatment took place, once again no pain. The entire procedure was over in less than 15 minutes. Dr. Thomas checked my eyes one more time, I was given sunglasses to wear and released at approx 2:00. A friend drove me home, approx 25 – 30 minute ride, I started to feel a bit anxious, I guess because I couldn’t really open my eyes. I arrived home, very much looking forward to the recommended sleep needed after the surgery. I couldn’t sleep, even after having taken the Tylenol PM, I was just much too anxious, couldn’t relax. I wished that I had taken the Valium, I opted for the Tylenol, thinking that I only need to sleep, obviously I need to relax first and then fall asleep. My husband arrived home from work a couple hours later, which I guess helped me to relax, knowing that I could fall asleep and someone was home. I final drifted off to sleep at approx 5:00 and woke up 3 hours later. I could IMMEDIATELY see! My eyes were still very sensitive to light, but OMG, the change was drastic in just those few hours. Once again Dr. Thomas had called to check on my progress. Gotta love him! Fast forward, after a good night’s sleep, the next morning was even better. I returned for my post-​op appt on Saturday and Dr. Thomas confirmed all was ok. and I proceeded to run errands (with sunglasses), throughout the day. I am SO glad that I made the decision to have Lasik surgery, should have done it a long time ago:-)

I am reviewing this as a person accompanying a patient, not as someone getting the procedure done. I had my lasik done down the road at TLC which I can recommend.
Anyways, I’m praying for my mother’s eyes as the waiting room has awful top 40 dance music blaring. I feel like it’s making me stupider in the short time I am here so I can only hope it hasn’t done the same to the staff.
They have a nice coffee machine and a fridge of Sprite for people who are waiting. The chairs are meh. But seriously this music… Is this a party with a 16 year old girl DJ or a doctors office?

The folks here are tremendously friendly and helpful. Their process for check in is simple and proactive. They get you signed in with electronic forms which mostly auto-​populates your information that you complete prior to your appointment so you don’t have to write a whole bunch of info you already shared.
They provide a video that answers a lot of the basic questions you may have about the procedure. The nurses are extremely knowledgeable and answered all my general questions. They were extremely polite and friendly.
They offer you fresh coffee, tea or cold water while you wait. The system is very streamlined and you are never left unnoticed or unattended.
The only drawback was that the advertised promotional rate is not even close to what you will be paying if you have a prescription higher than –1.00 (which most people in need of corrective lenses have). The radio add I heard, my insurance company or the person I spoke with from their call center did not make that clear so I can in expecting to pay $ 500+tax and the procedure is closer to $ 3500. So that is a little discouraging but a great customer experience other than that!

This place is great! Saw a commercial for a free estimate and to find out if I was a candidate or not. Right from the beginning everyone I dealt with was very pleasant. After a couple simple tests, which are the same ones at your normal eye doctor, they determined I was a candidate for lasik! They were very patient and thorough when it came to payment options for the surgery itself and the breakdown of surgery day for me. Dr. Thomas (the one who performed my surgery) is awesome, extremely patient, and willing to go above and beyond. He helped bring my vision from –6.00 in both eyes to ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision! If you are even thinking about it go in and talk to these people! You won’t regret a thing!

If, like me, you have worn thick glasses for your nearsightedness for a VERY long time (in my case, more than 50 years)…PLEASE don’t put it off any longer… GO to LasikPlus. The facility, the staff and the care I received were exceptional in every way.
I decided after wearing glasses since the age of 10… that, at 61, the time had come to give this a try. I could NOT have been any more pleased. And now, 5 years later… I wake up and see the trees and birds outside my window, can drive without the need for ‘corrective lenses’ being noted on my driver’s license. I was able to DRIVE to my appointment the day after surgery!!! Without a problem.
EVERY day of the last 5 years I have given thanks for this miracle. Dr. Joe Thomas did my surgery and spoke to me throughout, telling me exactly what to expect. It was NO PROBLEM. I’m thrilled that I took the plunge and have NEVER regretted it. I have my vision checked annually and am still ²⁰⁄₂₀. Thank you LasikPlus…
P. S. Ask them about totally affordable INTEREST FREE financing options. I EASILY paid mine off in less than 2 years.

LasikPlus is awesome. I was in and out the day of my operation. I was offered financing and my company insurance gave me a certain % off. Anyone considering this procedure, I have to tell you that I wish I would have done so years ago. Dr. Thomas is terrific along with the rest of the staff. Any questions you have for a real life Lasik patient, go ahead and message me.
