What a great experience I had at Central Optometry and Dry Eye Group!!! I have seen so many…read moreOptometrists in the past for my dry eye issues, but none of my visits gave the results I needed. Doctor Sirounian, on the other hand, diagnosed the root cause of my ongoing dry eye problem and showed me A-Z steps and measures to take at home . She took her time to show the proper way of cleaning the eye lids and extracting the oil from the meibomian glands. We also did the LipiFlow treatment which was just amazing. I am super happy with my visit and I highly recommend Dr. Sirounian for dry eye issues.

Like many others, I considered LASIK for years but never pulled the trigger to get consultations on…read morethe calendar. My friend had SMILE done by Dr. Lee about 9 months before I began diving seriously into the procedures. I met with 2 other clinics, but ultimately chose CCRS because of the fact that my fiance and I met with Dr. Lee during the consultation itself. He stayed with us for almost an hour to walk me through my options and his recommendations. He appeared to be intelligent, empathic, humorous, and above all, he was straight with me. Other clinics with a dedicated marketing operations team are a lot more sales-y, so I felt more comfortable with Dr. Lee, and all my appointments have been so streamlined and efficient. I was a good candidate for either SMILE or LASIK, but based on my preferences for longevity, I went with LASIK. Paperwork and pre-procedure instructions were sent to me in advance, and overall I think it went smoothly! I wasn't bothered at all by the lasers as I knew what to expect. I'm currently on days 5-6 of recovery and will be seeing Dr. Lee in another follow-up appointment next week. My vision continues to fluctuate a bit but that's a normal part of healing. My fiance is also interested in getting his refractive surgery done by Dr. Lee, and I recommended a family friend to him recently too. CCRS has free parking onsite, located nearby excellent Korean food, and facilities are super clean. Staff are friendly and highly efficient. So far, I'm happy with my results, which I hope will continue to improve.

I had Lasik here twice, can't remember the exact dates but it was many years ago. My Rx was very…read morehigh at the time, legally blind perhaps, and after the first Lasik surgery I had 20/20 vision after a couple days of rest. However, a couple years later, one of my eye regressed very quickly to a point where I couldn't see clearly driving (pretty much driving reliant on my one good eye). So I decided to return for a 2nd lasik procedure. The first time I didn't feel any pain and thought it was a very fast procedure. The 2nd time, however, there were pain and I was actually squirming trying to hold off the pain. Procedure went well for another couple years. Fast forward to today, the vision in one eye is very bad while the other eye is slowly regressing, no longer 20/20. I know I had bad astigmatism but I was under the assumption that it would at least last many years before it regressed again. My questions are , do you guys offer free post touch-up laser surgery? I would love to get a fix or and adjustment. I work night shift and it's making it very hard to drive at night, especially with the halos and headlights. My 2nd question, do you recommend any other procedures besides Lasik for a permanent fix? I feel like a 3rd lasik procedure would be risky and cause too many side effects.

My eyes have always required thick lenses, which made it difficult to find certain prescribed…read moreglasses. I came here to get this corrected so I could deal with the issue. At 41, I've started to think that advancements in eye correction technology are much more promising than what has been available in the past. Surgery can be a daunting experience, especially when it involves your eyes. However, I encourage you to try the "Evo ICL" it's safe and has improved since last year. One of the best parts about this procedure is that if you're not satisfied with the results, or if a better option comes along, you can reverse the treatment. So, there's really no major risk if it doesn't work out. I qualified for the "Evo" ICL, and while I had my doubts at first, I've learned that patience is key when adjusting to a new way of seeing. Along with eye drops to aid the healing process, I found that after about three months, my eyes began to coordinate and adjust. What was once a constant dependency on glasses is now improving, and I'm starting to feel more normal without them. It's funny; I still find myself touching my face to lift imaginary glasses that no longer exist--it's just a habit! I highly recommend this option to anyone who wants to change their vision, whether it's for practical reasons, like gaming without glasses or to keep up with future technologies like AI glasses. As technology continues to advance, my previous vision issues made it difficult to enjoy some of these innovations. This procedure has truly helped me.

It's been a month since my surgery with the SMILE procedure and I almost still can't believe at how…read moresmooth the process went and the vision I now have. From my first visit to the office which was the same day as my consultation things ran smoothly. My next visit to the office was the day of the surgery and everything I read on yelp and online about the surgery and recovery process was pretty true to form. The follow up went smoothly as well. My only issue is actually with the cost of the procedure. Now, it is important to note that I only got a pair of eyeballs and if I'm going to have some lasers open up some slits to my corneas, then I want to go somewhere I can trust and am willing to pay more for higher quality. I was quoted at a price which I thought was fair. At this point I referenced a Groupon that was available from their Riverside office. Minutes later, I was given a different price that matched the Groupon but had a slightly higher price since it was SMILE versus LASIK. This was good news for me as I had lowered the price of my surgery, but left a slight question in my mind as it seems like pricing can be quite arbitrary and had I not done my research before, I would have had to pay more. I thought this was something I would expect with going to a dealership to buy a car, but not something like getting a surgery. So I guess if there is a helpful tip, do your research before and there's a chance you can get the same procedure at a lower cost too.

I would have given 100 stars if yelp would allow it. Unfortunately 5 stars is the maximum…read more I am a software engineer in Bio-medical Company, where quality, effectiveness and patient safety are not compromised. Although, I know the risks of Lasik procedure, I still need to know what kind of machine they use, their surgery procedure, cleanliness, clinic's mitigation and/ action in case of power failure or worse case machine failure. I know, I sound like an extremist, but I should be! After all, my eyes are important part of my body. I can't replace my eyes that easy, even if it's replaceable, it will be very costly. Remember, prevention is cheaper than treatment! It took me about a year and 7 doctor interviews before finding Dr. Rabinowitz. Trust me, I've done my research and not just yelp research, I personally go to the doctor's clinic and interview the doctors and its staffs as well. I have to make sure, doctors are specialized in Lasik Eye Surgery and aren't just doing the procedure for the money. If you're looking for a great Lasik doctor, don't just look at yelp or the clinic's website, you got to check out the place and interview the doctor. In one instance, I found this other lasik clinic in downtown LA, who claims to have the latest technology, most affordable and has the most rated reviews in yelp. Yet, going to the facility was a huge disappointment. They might have the best reviews but how many of them were actually true. I went to that clinic, it took 2 hours of my precious time (with 5 minutes of eye examination, 15 minutes of chit chat with the doctor not even related to lasik and the rest was waiting). By the end of that interview I found out that the facility was not even using a bladeless technology because the doctor does not trust computers (yet uses a laser machine). There was another instance where I found another doctor who would jump right in to schedule me for lasik after his assistant examined my eyes. But then his assistant doesn't even know the surgery procedure. His assistant is probably new, but it was a big no no for me. Then I found Cornea Eye Institute and met Dr. Rabinowitz. At first, I thought he's one of those doctors who would do surgery for the money without considering the risks on the patient. But I was wrong. I guess I interviewed too many money sucking doctors and I judged Dr. Rabinowitz so quickly. After my eye examination, Dr. Rabinowitz laid out all the risks of lasik procedure. Not only that, we gave me a brief lecture on the anatomy of the eyes and how the lasik works. Its like taking Lasik 101. It was a scary discussion, but this is something that I NEED to know (and everybody whose considering lasik needs to know). Aside from that, Dr. Rabinowitz was extra cautious. It was around end of October when I had my first appointment with him and wished to have lasik done before Thanksgiving. Although, my eyes are in-range of not having dry eyes (but in the lower level of wetness), Dr. Rabinowitz delayed my lasik surgery schedule to ensure that my eyes are in best condition as possible. This is to avoid complications. He gave me instructions on how to take care of my eyes prior the procedure. I had my surgery performed on Dec 10, 2015. Surgery was really fast. Dr. Rabinowitz, ensured me that I was comfortable as possible. He gave some relaxation medicine, so that I am calmed during the procedure. Being the "best" doctor would be an understatement; he surpassed that description and my expectation. With high quality of customer service, observing patient safety together with knowledge on this area, what else I can ask for. I was beyond blessed to have my lasik done under his care. Now I have 20/15 vision on both eyes, no halos, no dry eyes and no more four-eyes.
