I first came to Coleman Vision in 2006 for LASIK surgery, and it turned out to be one of the best investments I've ever made. My vision was terrible, but the day after my procedure, I was already seeing better than 20/20. After about 15 years, my vision began to decline again. I remembered that they offered a future enhancement if needed, so I returned in 2024. Fortunately, I was a good candidate for the PRK procedure. Just like before, the staff was incredibly friendly, informative, thorough and walked me through every step of the process, from what to expect during recovery to the results I could anticipate. For the second procedure, I had to space out each eye, but I'm thrilled to have my sharp vision back. Both of my parents and several friends have also had LASIK at Coleman, and everyone has had a fantastic experience. I would absolutely recommend Coleman Vision to anyone considering LASIK, they are 5 stars in every aspect! read more

I called the office to find out if the Doctor does diabetic eye exams. They don't. But the receptionist was kind enough to HIGHLY recommend another place that does do diabetic eye exams, and she gave me the phone number. In a day and age when everyone is SO busy and customer service is pretty much a thing of the past, Dr. Coleman's office and receptionist is wonderful. read more

I got Lasik about 6 months ago and have been experiencing dry eyes since the surgery. I didn't think my eyes would get better, but I went back to Dr. Coleman and he is working with me to try and get my eyes making the right amount of tears again. read more

This is the first review I've written sans reading glasses in, oh, easily five years. I had surgery yesterday. When you enter Dr. Coleman's office, the first thing you'll peruse as you enjoy an audio introduction to the company are plaques and photos of the various local and national celebrities, athletes, politicians and public figures who've enjoyed vision correction at the office. The list is extensive, and it's a comfort being aware that, just like any surgery, there are complications and side effects for a very small percentage of patients. I was certainly concerned. My initial, free consultation determined that I wasn't eligible for the surgery -- yet. I was told that I still had strong long distance vision and I would have to wait until that deteriorated to be a candidate. Low and behold, about a year later my optometrist said I should consider bifocals, so I set up a second consultation with Dr. Coleman and (cue the harp music) I was ready. The surgery itself lasted all of maybe ten minutes and was hardly uncomfortable. The waiting room resembled a cocktail lounge and -- note to staff -- I would've loved a pre-surgery gimlet. Staff across the board were knowledgeable, friendly and on the ball. Dr. Coleman was a straight shooter with a great sense of humor. All patients need someone to drive them home post surgery, however the office is located right next to a hotel, in case that isn't possible. If you're on the fence, but you can even negligibly afford LASIK, ask yourself what the next 20 years of clear vision are worth to you. The first thing I did this morning, after checking my text messages with my naked eyes, was remove every odd pair of reading glasses I had stashed all over the house and the car, and bag 'em up for donation. I'm astonished and beyond thrilled. read more

Dr. Coleman and his team are the very best in the business I was referred to them multiple times by previous clients and I'm so glad I chose this team for my Lasik needs. Dr. Coleman is completely thorough in his assessments. Not to mention his team is completely top notch in their care for the clients well-being and they go beyond the extra mile to make sure that everything about the procedure is understood and that the client feels confident before and after the procedure is done. I would and have suggested this office multiple times. Without question, go with Coleman. read more

I've been wanting to have Lasik for at least two years and thanks to Dr. Coleman, I finally did it! If anyone is on the fence about it, I highly encourage having the procedure and having it done here. The consultation was quick. The procedure was even quicker - only 10 min.! The staff takes special care of their patients and does plenty of follow up. It's only been a week and I'm so thrilled with the results. read more

For the past 20+ years, I have fought many fires and attempted to save many lives. In all that time, I've worn contacts and glasses. Today, I feel like a brand new person. Thank you Dr. Coleman for saving my life. Anyone that is contemplating getting LASIK should get it done at Coleman Vision. The staff is very helpful and make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. During the procedure, Dr. Coleman ensures your safety and is very caring and encouraging. In just a matter of minutes, voila!! This has to be one of the best investments I've ever spent. Fire Chief Manny Garcia (Ret.) Belen Fire Department read more

Walked in almost blind, and left with 20/20 vision. The whole experience was calm and pleasant. You are kept in the loop of what is happening, and given proper expectations. I would recommend everyone i know to Dr. Coleman. read more

How do you write a review about the place that gave you 20/20 vision? I'm so grateful, so excited, and so ready to see the world with my incredible vision now. Dr. Coleman and his staff made this experience so wonderful and really cared about what was best for me. The surgery was quick and painless, and the next day I woke up able to see better than I've ever been to before. The entire team at Coleman vision is friendly, welcoming, and willing to work with you to make you feel comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a change in their eyesight, you can go in for a free consultation and just see if you are a candidate for lasik and they will help you move forward. Lasik has changed my life, and I can't wait to have so much more freedom in the future. Thank you Dr. Coleman, I can see! read more

Coleman Vision - One day after surgery, I can see 20/20 thanks to Dr. Coleman! - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Dr. Coleman and his staff are the BEST! My husband and numerous of my family members have had eye surgery and no problems whatsoever. The office is gorgeous. Dr. Coleman is very honest about the conditions of you being a candidate for surgery. read more

Simply the best! I had an incident where a branch struck my eye. The result of the incident left my vision in that eye blurry. I was devastated and I thought I had ruined the Lasik that I had done by another surgeon in 2010. Dr. Coleman looked at it, and even though I had the procedure done by someone else, Dr. Coleman decided that not only was it fixable, he would fix it for me at the initial consult. In 15 minutes we were done and I could tell that the vision was better. Now my vision is back to 20/15. If you are on the fence about Lasik, or who do go to, LOOK NO FURTHER. Trust your eyes to Dr. Coleman! read more

There is simply nothing negative to say about Coleman Vision: the staff (including the Good Doctor), the location and setting, the level of care and professionaliam, and the way that they make each and every patient feel important and special is stellar. They're your EYES! Spend the $$ and stay away from corporate, assembly-line cheap LASIK. You'll be glad you did! (I did NOT get a toaster for writing this, BTW). read more

Fantastic experience at Coleman Vision. I researched carefully and went to several places for consults. Many of my friends suggested Coleman and I knew after visiting for a consult it was the place for me too. No artificial "deals" to get you in the door and no hidden extra costs. Every single staff member is friendly and knowledgeable. I was soooooo blind -6.5 and I see perfectly now! I am blown away! It is nothing short of a miracle. Dr. Coleman is the best. read more

I was actually going to another company to get corrected vision surgery and unfortunately they close down but they recommended me to Dr. Coleman. The very next day after emailing a interest request I was immediately contacted and then two days later I had my appointment. Very very very nice friendly staffed very clean I would say very professional but that is an understatement and they really did make you feel like you're family. If you're interested in correct of laser surgery I highly highly recommend Dr. Coleman. read more

100% would recommend . It's been one month and two weeks since my surgery and I'm a new person . The staff treat you like family . Dr Coleman is so sweet and they are all so caring and work slowly with you if needed . The most comfortable I've ever felt in a "surgery" type situation. I cannot recommend them enough , in fact I have already sent 10 people who have asked me about it my eyes their way . read more

Getting Lasik was always something I wanted to do but I was hesitant because I didn't know what to expect. After years of wearing, changing and spending so much on contacts and glasses I knew it was time for a change. After reading up on the results and hearing all the positive things people had to say about Dr. Coleman I knew I had made the right choice. The morning of the procedure was exciting! I knew I was finally going to be able to see. I admit I was nervous but the staff at Coleman Vision made it a very comforting experience. Before I knew it, I was in the chair receiving the treatment. That evening I decided to go out to dinner to celebrate the occasion and I could immediately see the results. The following morning was life changing without glasses or contacts I could make out objects, see with clarity and finally see the Sandia's! they weren't just a blur anymore. I was even lucky enough to be selected as a study patient for one of the many FDA trials Dr. Coleman does. I learned that Dr. Coleman is extremely meticulous and particular when choosing these patients. After seeing my results my dad went in for an evaluation and was turned away since he wasn't a perfect candidate. This really spoke to the level of integrity and honesty Dr. Coleman has when selecting and treating his patients. Overall it was a very professional, calm and cool experience that I would do all over again. It has been one of the best investments I've ever made. Thanks again Coleman Vision! read more

I can't say enough about this place. You're treated like a best friend from the moment you enter the office. EVERYTHING is throughly explained in details, pros and cons which I appreciated. The entire staff is exceptional, from the exams on consultation day to the actual procedure when Dr Coleman is explaining where you're at in the process with his hand on your shoulder telling you he's got you because he can tell you're nervous. It was all very quick and painless. I highly recommend this office, Dr Coleman and his amazing staff. You will not be disappointed. read more

I first got lasik from Dr. Coleman about 15 years ago. The first round was not successful and I had to get another procedure to get the job done right. It was not pleasant, but Dr. Coleman was willing to correct the problem without charging me again. After about 10 years my vision continued to get worse. He performed an additional procedure on one eye that was painful but did restore my vision to a fairly decent degree. Once again, this procedure was done free of charge. In summary, he may not get it right the first time but he stands behind his guarantee to fix it, free of additional costs in the future if your vision regresses, as it eventually will. read more

I had an excellent experience at Coleman Vision. The staff was always friendly, the office is beautiful and relaxing. Dr Coleman is friendly and answered all of my questions I had been scared about trying LASIK for years, but they really put me at ease. I couldn't be happier with the results. I see better than I did with my glasses or contacts and I haven't developed any issues with dry eye or pain. I highly recommend read more

INCREDIBLE. Dr Coleman is amazing; I now have 20/20 vision and the entire process was unreal it was so easy.

This is one of the best decisions I've made ever! I've never had 20/20 before and my prescription prior was a -7.0 in one eye and -6.5 in the other. I never knew what I was missing! One great thing about Coleman Vision is they will tell you straight if you are a candidate or not. Sometimes people aren't and get mad, but honestly, do you want to spend $4,000 and not have the results you wanted? I think it's admirable that they are honest and upfront with people about it. Also, the equipment is top notch and the most advanced procedure out there. My surgery lasted all of 90 seconds and I am so glad I did it! read more

Well the decision of getting LASIK was one of the best ones I've made in my life. Now my vision is 20/20, before I had to wear glasses and looked freaking dorky and nerdy not that there's anything wrong with those types of personalities. I embrace them. The consultation was free of charge, it was long one so be sure you have about 2 hours or so and ask them a lot of questions. He is very nice and personable. His sister who's the business manger was professional and accommodating. The procedure was little to pain free. You come in and they do what they do and voila 24 hours later your eye sights are perfect again. Just don't do what I did, I misheard and took 2 sleeping pills instead of one so they kinda had to basically carry me into the procedural room rather than most patients who can walk in on their own. Also kinda nice since they do ask you to come back periodically to check your eyes and make sure the procedure was successfully performed. It's been 2 years since I got mine done and not a single regret! My little bro came to him and had his eyes done, too. He's one of the best in ABQ!!! Woot woot. read more

I have been wearing glasses for 20 years, and while talking to my sister (a Dr. Coleman patient) I said I wanted to get LASIK done, (I live in Los Angeles, and didn't think about Albuquerque)Without hesitation she made me an appointment with Dr. Coleman to see if I was a candidate. From the moment I walked into Dr. Coleman's office I didn't feel like a patient, I felt like I was a family member. Everything was explained to me, I never felt like was hidden. The day of the procedure Dr. Coleman's staff made me feel like I was in the office to hang out, not have a laser zapping my eyes. I felt at total ease. The procedure was pain less. A week later I can not tell you how much it has changed my life. I get text messages from Dr. Coleman checking up on me. What Doctor does that! I see things better then I ever have, colors are brighter, and life has changed 1000%. I am so happy I trusted my eyes Coleman Vision. If you are thinking about getting LASIK done, you would be doing yourself wrong by not going to Dr. Coleman. If you want to know more please email me at bobbybealljr@gmail.com and I will be glad to tell you why Coleman Vision is the best. read more

See all

After being blind as a bat for over 20 years I decided to spring for LASIK, but I wasn't sure who to go to. I was really nervous about LASIK. I was afraid something horrible would happen and I'd go blind, or my eyeballs would burn up in a blaze of glory as the laser zapped the shit out of them. I spent a lot of time researching LASIK providers. Many providers were offering discounts, and great deals: 2 eyes for $3000, get 1 eye lasered get the 2nd half off. From a financial stand point these other providers were very enticing, but I didn't feel quite safe with them. After scouring the internet I came across Dr. Coleman's website, and some videos demonstrating the procedure. I also read reviews from former patients of his; all were positive. The guy seemed totally legit, so I set up an appointment for a free consultation. At this point I wanted to know if it was even possible to perform LASIK on my old lady eyes. I half believed my eye sight was so bad that I'd get turned away. The consult was about 45 minutes in length. Dr. Coleman's wonderful staff did the requisite tests to make sure I would be a good candidate, and Dr. Coleman reviewed the results. Lo and behold, I was a good candidate after all! We went ahead and set up my surgery early in 2012. I used the remaining balance in my FLEX account to pay half in 2011, and the rest was paid via FLEX at the start of the next calendar year. The surgery itself was a lot easier than I had anticipated. The longest part is waiting for the xanax to kick in. Once I was good and relaxed they seated me in the operating room, and the surgery itself was over with in 10 minutes. In 10 minutes my life was totally changed--I was able to see without the aide of glasses or contacts! In fact, the first words out of my mouth after the surgery were, "HOLY SHIT I CAN SEE THAT!!!" Truly an amazing experience. I have had 20/15 vision since Jan of 2012 when I underwent the LASIK procedure. I still get annual check ups just to make sure my eyes are healthy, and sometimes I use reading glasses when my eyes are tired. But most of the time, like 98% of the time, I have better than perfect vision. Dr. Coleman is amazing. He really knows his stuff, he's friendly, laid back, is absolutely concerned about the well being of the patient and what is right FOR the patient. And all of Dr. Coleman's staff are equally friendly, patient, and caring. LASIK was worth every single penny to me. It wasn't the cheapest thing I've ever paid for, but certainly one of the most valuable in terms of enhancing my life. Dr. Coleman also has a lifetime guarantee. If my eyes change, and its safe to do so, adjustments can be made to get my vision back to 20/20 (or better). 2 years on and I have not had the need to do this, but its great knowing that this is an option. It really increases the total value of what I paid, and at the time it made me feel safe knowing it was an option. If you're thinking about LASIK, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Coleman! The consults are free, so you have nothing to lose, and he will give you an honest assessment. read more

No better place to get your lasik surgery. Dr. Coleman and his staff are second to none. It was a pleasant experience from the moment I walked in the door. read more

Where to start...You can't exactly compare something like LASIK because you only get it done once and I'm assuming with only one doctor. With that said, I will create my review based upon my expectations before I got this done and with my results afterwards. I've had glasses and/or contacts since 2nd grade. I have no memories of being able to see without some sort of lens to correct my vision. For well over a decade I've known that I wanted to get LASIK but was never in the right financial situation to make it happen. Now that I'm almost in my 30's (29 to be exact) I am finally in a spot where LASIK is a possibility. After mentioning my intentions to my optometrist, he said he really only referred people to a couple doctors, Coleman being one of them. This fit nicely with what I had heard at work, since many of my coworkers have gone to Coleman with excellent results. It seemed the stars were finally aligning. I wasn't going to let this slip away again like I had done in the past. So, after setting up some pre-op appointments with my optometrist and having those results sent to Coleman, I was invited to Coleman's office for the final evaluation where thankfully he thought I would be an excellent candidate. I am beyond excited at this point, this is finally happening! The scheduling for the procedures is on Wednesdays and Fridays and it just so happened that I was free that following Friday so game on! I was excited all week and admittedly nervous as well, and I didn't know why. I knew Coleman was one of the best in the country and I was going to be just fine but I guess it's that "Fight or Flight" wiring in all of us that just makes you nervous no matter what. Let's skip ahead to the morning of the procedure. I knew this was going to happen and I knew I would love it so here we go...I get to the office early in the morning and the hospitality is already shining. Everyone in his office was incredibly kind during my pre-op testing and it was on display now as well. My sister-in-law, who later picked me up from the office, said it best when she said that the office and the people in it create a "zen-like" atmosphere. Their goal is to make you comfortable because they understand how important this is to you. I finished the paperwork and made the payment (okay, now it's DEFINITELY happening!) and eventually got in my comfy chair and took my relaxation Xanax pill (Yeah buddy!) and chilled out. I'm playing with my phone and doing my thing and then one of the kind ladies brings me into the operation room. I call it the operation room because I don't know what else to call it, it's actually very cool. A window overlooking the mountains is the full length of the wall, and the laser machine is right in the middle where you lay down. Dr. Coleman helps ease you down and puts some last minute drops in and then gives you a quick pep talk and explains some stuff. (This next part goes so fast but I'll try to remember) The first laser makes the flap on your eye and is completely painless. It's done in seconds so that's pretty easy. Next, the other laser makes the actual prescription change in your eye and the results are instant. Dr Coleman makes this entire process so relaxing by continually talking you through each step and letting you know how much longer each part is. It's hard to put into words how amazing the feeling is to be able to see finally without glasses or contacts. The entire procedure for both eyes takes less than 5 minutes and then I was eased up from the table with everyone smiling at me and happy. You feel like you just won the lottery. You've just beat evolution, essentially, and can now live a life without the constant leash of vision impairment. My sister-in-law took me from the office that day and I used my drops as prescribed and was able to be pretty normal later that evening after a good solid nap. My results were fantastic and if you're a good candidate you'll have fantastic results too. I told my wife this is the 2nd best decision I ever made, next to her of course. If you're reading this review and considering LASIK, I cannot stress enough how beneficial this is. Dr. Coleman and his staff are the people you want to go to. Now is the time to finally get LASIK! read more

I am not sure where to even start! If you haven't been to see Dr. Coleman you are missing out on a full experience. I had a consultation years ago with another doctor and found out at that time I was not a candidate for lasik. I was hoping technology had changed a bit and I would now have that option so I called to make an appointment with Dr. Coleman. I spoke with the SWEETEST receptionist and our conversation was over 20 minutes, come to find out this is Dr. Coleman's sister and she deserves a gold metal in customer service. I went to my appointment and walked off the elevator into a beautiful office. The lighting is perfect, the art work is amazing and the guided tour through the office was a treat. Dr. Coleman met me with a smile and with just a few quick images I was given the diagnosis. Unfortunately still not a candidate but he did not stop there. He provided me with the images and a great eye doctor referral. The ladies in the office were very pleasant and there was not a charge for my visit. If you are considering LASIK please visit Dr. Coleman, he and his team are TOP NOTCH! read more

Think about how long you have been in glasses and contacts. Think about contacts and how you tried to remember not to forget you reading glasses just so you could read a menu. Now think about not having to do that any more. I can't tell you how amazing it feels to see without the help of glasses, contacts and reading glasses. Dr. Coleman and his wonderful full of energy staff made that happen for me. Don't trust anyone that you google for Lasik.. Google and trust the best.... Trust only Dr. Coleman. I could not be more happy with my vision. Thank you Dr. Coleman read more
