I had lasik 20 years ago and it was wonderful while it lasted. I've developed cataracts on both…read moreeyes and Dr. Waring and his team removed those cataracts and gave me new lenses. And I can SEE again. From 20-40 in both eyes back to 20-20 and a few letters on the 20-15 line. So yes, I'll have to wear my cheaters still to read up close, but no more squinting just to see. And the best of all? I'll be able to see the golf balls I hit once again it might even improve my golf game. Ha! Nothing ever has before. But I'm gonna give my new eyes a shot. Who knows? Maybe I'll get my first hole-in-one!! If I do I'll be back to let you know.

I had Advanced Laser Femtosecond Cataract Surgery 4 days ago with Dr. George Waring. Dr. Waring…read morewas superb and I have had no pain. At my one day check up my vision was where I could see 4 more lines on the chart than 6 months ago. I will have my second eye done in 2 weeks. The colors are clearer and I can see that the light in the room is brighter. I am very grateful. His entire team at the office and surgery center eased my anxiety and were excellent. I was a skeptic but now I am so glad I did it. I look forward to enjoy driving again and feel more confident. I have dry eyes and he found something to help my eyes - Miebo drops and I feel very thankful. I had tried so many things and now because of Dr. Waring, I have hope again! S. Stadler Charleston, SC

Although I had this Lasik eye surgery done over a year ago on November 13, 2015 I still remember it…read morelike it was yesterday. I was very scared to get the Lasik surgery. In 2006 I once had a Lasik consultation with the Twin Lasik eye Institute in upstate New York. The surgeon was formerly from Pennsylvania. During that time I wasn't a good enough candidate because they stated quote: your vision is borderline for surgery but not quite enough. At that time I recall I suffered in silence from near sightedness and an acute Astigmatism. Fast forward 10 years later after dilegently trying to build my career and working very hard to make a name for myself this time YES!! I finally was a candidate for the Lasik surgery. When I went in for my 2nd consultation, I was wearing my pretty baby blue contacts and after the lady viewed my perscription she said quote: (funny voice) WHOA!! I can see why you would want to get the Lasik surgery done lol... I chuckled since I knew exactly what I had suffered from nearsightedness, vision impairment since 2nd grade which lead into adulthood spending hundreds of dollars on eye glasses/ contacts. I dared to ask out of curiosity saying what's my vision read? She said 20/700. I about choked when she said that and was in disbelief I didn't relize it was that bad... So I knew that part of remaining healthy was your vision and I didn't want to wear corrective lenses anymore, so I took the brave stance, and schedule the surgery. Leading up to my first day of Lasik surgery I was very, very nervous but they kindly worked with me to calm me down and gave me detailed step by step instructions on what to do to prepare for the Lasik sugery. #1) I had to use these drops that prepared my eyes for surgery dilating them. Then they numbed my eyes and the surgery began. I was wide awake the entire time, I remember some pressure as the clamp stayed strategically on my eye balls and I nervously questioned quote: What if I blink? The surgeon was very professional and calming during my nervous dance stating quote: Don't worry you are secure and the eyes can't move. I was feeling better already when after what seemed like only 5-10 mins they took the lens off and then back on again and I could see. It was alittle bit blurry in the beginning so I had to have a friend drive me home. I rested up one day and the next day I could see like brand new like I had contacts in only they were my own eyes!! My vision was 20/20 it was AMAZING!!! This surgery was by far one of my most expensive and best investments I've done for myself besides buying a car lol. After a mos they had said it improved 20/15 better then gradually it leveled out now last I checked it's around 20/20 -20/25 which is still excellent from how blind I once was. Thankyou Lasik Vision Institute!

Very happy I had this done. Everyone is so thoughtful and accommodating. The doctors are…read moreknowledgeable as well. I would highly recommend.

So, I have been a patient at Carolina Eyecare for many years. Dr Boatwright is one Of the best eye…read moredoctors in the area. However, I was scheduled last year for an appointment in May 2026 and I just recently was canceled since Dr Boatwright won't be available. My new appointment could be as early as November. I am very distressed and a bit angry, but I think I will find a different practice!

What I have learned from my experience with this business is that they don't prioritize or value…read moreyour time. I made an appointment with them for an inflammation in my eye and was not seen by the doctor for almost 2 hours after my appointment was scheduled. I also explained to him a concern for a specific blood test due to my family history , and he wrote me a referral for blood work, but didn't include what I had mentioned. Then, when that information got worse i called to make an appointment or see if they could write me a stronger prescription eye drop for my condition. Instead of telling me they couldn't write a prescription without an appointment they had me wait, and wait, and wait for a call back i was told i would get but never came. I called several times, and finally got my answer. So now my condition is worsening and I have wasted time I could've spent making an appointment else where. I have no issue with there not being time for an appointment, but to not respect my time and condition is disappointing. Will not be returning.

I've purchased two pairs of prescription eyeglasses from Warby Parker and have been quite satisfied…read moreso when my husband needed an exam and new glasses, we headed to their new location in Belle Hall Shopping Center. We loved the convenient location with plenty of free parking. My husband made his exam appointment on line. We were warmly greeted and he was quickly seen by the optometrist. He received a thorough exam and said that Dr. Shinner's patient rapport was refreshing. The selection process was easy due to excellent service by Vicki and Charity, two experienced, knowledgeable and friendly associates. There was ample selection for different sizes ... narrow, too. Good value with fair pricing. We left feeling satisfied. Go!

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. I came in because there was mold between the metal & plastic…read moreportion of my eye glasses. The "eye doctor" immediately told me it was not mold and due to the "nickel" on the rims of my glasses having a reaction with my skin oils. First of all, I looked up the product information and my glasses are made with stainless steel, not nickel. Second of all, I work in construction and neither nickel or stainless steel has strong discoloration oxidation reactions to "skin oils". I checked this factually with AI as well, because even though I have extensive knowledge of metal materials, I wanted to ensure accuracy. The "eye doctor" immediately got an attitude when I informed him these glasses were not made with nickel and told me he "had been doing this for 36 years" so he knew what he was talking about. Even when I showed him the product data showing they are made with stainless steel. The "eye doctor" took my glasses back to their "sonic cleaner" and dropped the unclean glasses in front of me and walked off. He did not even clean the mold/dirt on the nose pieces. And apparently no one else in the facility is "qualified to clean the nose pieces". So I left with my glasses uncleaned and mold visible on the nose pieces. These people were 0 help and had 0 product knowledge.
