I've had glasses for several decades, so I finally made up my mind to pursue LASIK treatment. Although a little out of the way, I did the research and was impressed with Turner Eye Institute and Dr. Patel. After my initial consultation, I was given a preparatory regimen which I followed to the "T". The consultation specialist informed me of what to expect with the operation, potential side effects, and post-op activities. On the day of the surgery, I felt that I was in expert hands. The entire process went smoothly. I followed the post-op instructions and now, one month later, I'm still going strong. This has been one of the best decisions I've made and I can't speak highly enough of the process and Dr. Patel and his team.
PRO:
No more glasses!
Excellent vision.
Positive life outcome.
Throughout the operation, everyone checked on me and answered my questions. I felt safe and cared for.
CONS:
The procedure can be unnerving to some. Talk to your LASIK counselor and ask many questions. This procedure isn't the best choice for everyone.
The procedure is pricey. I used CareCredit, which will allow me to pay over 2 years, similar to a car payment.
You MUST follow all instructions (pre and post op) in order to ensure a successful operation.
