Dr.Porter is very methodical in his work and thorough in his examination

    I had been thinking of LASIK for years but only recently decided to follow through. I had searched…read morethe local Raleigh area and found Porter Ophthalmology had the best and highest reviews. The lower star ratings I read seemed to be related to insurance related issues so I ruled those out. I initially tried to make an appointment online but never heard anything so I called a few days later. The receptionist was friendly and immediately sent me forms via email to complete prior to my consultation. My wife and I went to the consultation and met Dr Porter and his wonderful staff. After completing all the required tests and asking Dr Porter more questions than I probably should...we scheduled the pre-op appointment and my surgery. The pre-op lasted about 2 hours, which included dilation of my eyes. I drove home afterwards with little issue. Surgery day (yesterday). We showed up just prior to my 0910 appointment and we were sent to a small room just outside the inpatient surgery room (or whatever you want to call it). Friendly staff came in and spoke with us and put some numbing drops in my eyes. Shortly thereafter I was in the room and having the surgery. I will note now that I am 54 and wore progressive lenses so we went with monovision for my surgery. Meaning that my left eye is for reading and my right (dominant) eye is for distance. Seems weird, right? After the surgery, which lasted less than 10 minutes, we received some final instructions and we were on our way home. My vision was cloudy but I could make out pretty much everything. I rested for a few hours in a mostly dark room, putting drops in every hour as directed. After 4-5 hours the cloudiness was almost gone and I could see TV and read fairly well. My eyes were slightly itchy but the eye drops seemed to alleviate the issue. Later on in the evening my left eye began to ache slightly so I took Motrin and went to sleep. Woke up today and vision was even better than the day before. We went to my 0900 appointment and again met with Dr Porter. After a series of checks he stated my eyes were between 20/25 and 20/20, which I haven't had in about 11 years. I was worried about the blended vision but my brain is quickly adapting. Dr Porter said that my vision will continue to improve over the next 4-6 weeks. My only regret is that I waited so long to have this surgery.

I now have 20/25 vision . I'm blessed that I was lucky enough to have him as my surgeon. I've never had a surgeon /dr with such compassion and caring . I'm so glad I was able to have him as my surgeon!!!

When I was taken in I was given a regular eye ck up by the assistant and then I waited for 39-45 min for him to return. I went in for extreme dry eyes n I needed glasses that worked. As it was I waited 2 months before I could see a Dr. n now, he brushed it off...no prescription for the dry eyes and all I need are reading glasses. When he gave me the eye exam, he gave me 1 line to read n I told him I could not read it n he was blurry. I am an artist. I can't read a road sign, Im using old glasses to teach art n to paint at home. Reading Glasses! I contacted my insurance n told them what happened n they have made me another appt w another opthomologist n filing a grievance on my part n their's. I guess I need to get a pair of reading glasses to read a book, another to read a road sign, another to see you, a couple to teach, another for the PC, another to paint, and another to see my subject. And I still have no help for the dry eyes.
