Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My prescription is -7.00 in both eyes, and I've worn glasses since grade school.
Had my evaluation to see if I was a good candidate for LASIK first. They examined the shape and thickness of my corneas, and tested my prescription. I was given an informational packet to take home with me about the risks and benefits of LASIK, and about the laser technology used in the operation.
After that, I had the pre-exam, where they did some more testing and confirmed my prescription. I was also given some pre- and post- procedure care sheets and two prescriptions for eyedrops, one antibacterial to prevent infections and one steroid to treat eye swelling. During the pre-exam they dilated my eyes, and it took around 24 hours before it had worn off. The next morning I stopped by the place where the LASIK would take place and they took pictures of my corneas and took a map of my eyes to prepare for the surgery. I also started the antibiotic eye drops the day before the surgery to prevent infections.
