I've been a patient for about two months now with this clinic and had my lasik procedure last week…read more From the consultation all the way to my post-op care, the staff at IQ Laser Vision have been more than accommodating and helpful in making the whole experience a peaceful process. The patient counselor Joanna was especially helpful and great to work with! I shopped around a bit before deciding to do it with IQ, which I suggest people do when making a decision such as this, however, now I'd recommend this place to my friends and family.

Howdy everyone! I've been married to my glasses for over 28 years and I was ready for a divorce,…read morethe only divorce I ever want. I've been on and off on the market to get LASIK for about 6 years and life has gotten in the way in different ways but finally, January 2025 marks the time I pull the trigger. My experience with IQ was outstanding! From start to finish, they succeeded in making the process efficient, understandable, and more importantly comfortable. Saying that they knew what they were doing is an understatement. The staff here with IQ are masters at laser eye surgery, and in my experience, it was clear to me they had it down to a T. I'm relieved I discovered for myself that they existed and took a chance. Consultation: My incredible counselor Danielle and the team over in the Riverside location were so helpful in calming my concerns during my consultation and I appreciated how patient they were with ALL my questions and belieeeve me, I ASKED QUESTIONS. Along with them making my time comfortable, the prices they offer are so affordable with different payments options that were a no-brainer for those ready to divorce their nagging pair of glasses. Surgery Day: I did my surgery at the Rowland Heights location and I was surprised on how efficient the whole process was. I give credit to the team for reaching this optimal point for us. From the front desk staff, assistants, and laser surgeon Dr. Pham, my experience flowed very smoothly as they walked me through their very simple-to-follow instructions. They talked me through the whole thing so if you're an over thinker like myself, this put the racing thoughts to rest. The procedure itself was smooth, quick and wildly painless. I thought blinking would be an issue and even after they explained to me how they numb my eye and keep it lubricated, I still thought I'd have the feeling to blink. Little did my overthinking brain know that it was effortless not to blink. It seems like I've been ranting a bit so I'll summarize that recovery from the SMILE surgery was a breeze. Although my eyes weren't yet fully healed nor at their peak vision, 8 hours from surgery I was able to read from a distance! Incredible! I had -3 & -4 prescription with astigmatism and wasn't able to see anything passed 5inches from my eyes and I was able to read from more than 15ft away. 2 weeks post-surgery and my vision is excellent. 2 months post-surgery and my vision still clocks in at 20/15. Results will vary of course since we don't all heal the same, but the doctors at IQ Laser Vision do a stellar job at qualifying you during your consultation. Makes sense why they have an exceptional success rate. Go with IQ Laser Vision for your laser eye surgery! One of the best decisions ever! ....No patience to read the above? In short: Great prices Quality work Friendly Staff/ Comfortable Live up to expectations They care and show it!

Dr. Schneider is very easy going and is thorough in his explanation of the available options (different for every patient) and the procedure itself. The whole LASIK procedure took no more than 10 minutes. The longest part was the final eye exams and waiting for the medication to kick in. I recommend 100 times over! This was a positive life changing decision and it was done with a great team!

One of the highlights was the opportunity to wear contact lenses that simulated my vision post-surgery, which proved invaluable in helping me make an informed decision about the treatment. This foresight truly set the stage for a successful outcome. During the procedure itself, I was impressed by how the staff kept me informed every step of the way. They explained what was happening, how much longer the procedure would take, and what I could expect next. This level of communication made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. Overall, I highly recommend the Laser Eye Center for anyone considering laser eye surgery. The combination of professional care, innovative technology, and thoughtful education makes for an exceptional experience.

My brother recently had a very successful surgery completed by Dr. Cheng. He is so happy, and we…read moreare so thankful for Dr. Cheng's expertise and her kindness. Her follow-up care demonstrates her devotion. My mother was with my brother for his surgeries, and these are her comments: I recently read the nine (9) reviews listed here on 'Yelp' for Dr. Jean Cheng, Ophthalmologist associated with 'BEST LASIK Laser Eye Center', Riverside, CA--and I must say, I am appalled! Such negative reviews listed here are completely contrary to our experience with Dr. Cheng. I will speak for my disabled adult son, who due to multiple disabilities, is unable to speak for himself. Among outstanding medical issues, one of my son's eyes has been 'crossed' for several years; a person typically 'thinks' of crossed eyes as crossing to the inside; but in my son's case, his right eye was completely crossed to the outside--veering off to the right, as if he were observing something to the side with only the right eye, while the left eye looked straight ahead. We had been advised by two different doctors through the years, that nothing could be done to correct my son's right eye; then thankfully in March of this year, we were referred to Dr. Jean Cheng, Ophthalmologist. Following considerable eye testing, Dr. Cheng performed the first surgery to correct my son's crossed eye; this surgery was successful, and corrected his eye approx. 70%. The healing process was long and slow; then three months later in June 2019, Dr. Cheng performed a second surgery which 'pulled' the right eye completely straight forward. Both eyes are now perfectly aligned--100%, and working together! I cannot sufficiently express what a difference these two surgeries have made in how much better my son feels about himself--greatly improved self-esteem; because now, other persons do not first notice an eye issue.....first impressions do make a difference! We are deeply grateful to Dr. Jean Cheng, and highly recommend her service. She is dedicated to her profession, and does her work in a 'no-frills' office; additionally, Dr. Cheng's front office staff are courteous, helpful and efficient. My son and I are exceedingly pleased with both Dr. Cheng, and her front office staff.: "

Then the optometrist, a young Indian man (also didn't get his name, I know I did terrible but I was assisting my grandma so I'm giving myself a pass LOL) was very patient and had great communication skills with my grandma. I know asking the elderly questions can be a test of patience, but he handled it with grace and kindness which I truly appreciated. Lastly the ophthalmologist an older white man (clearly names were a struggle today) came in with great energy and was very good at explaining to my grandma her new prescriptions in a way she could understand. There was also a female who assisted the Dr. and she was so sweet as well (she gets extra points for complimenting my crocs LOL) Overall very clean facility and kind workers. I have no bad things to say. (Only gave 4/5 stars because we still don't know what is causing my grandmas chronic dry eyes and we still haven't found anything to provide long term relief) Side note: there weren't any introductions which is why I didn't get anyone's names and their badges were flipped so I couldn't see their names and we were way too far into the appointment to ask without making it weird.
