Let's talk Lasik. Granted, it hasn't even been 48 hours since my surgery, so if my eyes fall out, I…read morepromise I'll update this review. I'm the type of person where if there's even a microscopic chance of disaster, I'm certain it'll happen to me. I prepped myself for this surgery by stumbling around my house blindfolded while asking "Could I live like this?" Even with that answer being a resounding "NO," I decided to finally take the plunge before my 40th birthday. In sum, so far it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I strongly regret not doing it a decade ago. The experience at Clear Advantage is streamlined and professional. You quickly feel like you are in great hands and that nothing can go wrong. From the front desk, to the initial assessments with the techs, everyone is extraordinarily friendly while also emanating an air of "chill out dude, we do this all the time." And really, that's all I needed to accept the frightening proposition of lasers slicing my eyes open. The surgery itself is quick and painless. Doctor Peters calmly explains the process, you're in the chair for maybe 10 minutes, and the laser is more fascinating than terrifying. I entered the operation legally blind. Immediately afterwards my vision was still blurry, but much clearer than before. After a 2 hour, Valium-induced nap, I awoke to 20/15 vision. I only had 20/20 with contact lenses. It was a revelation. You must avoid all tv/phone screens during the first day and are on a strict prescription and lubricated eyedrops routine for the next month. It's a nuisance, but easily worth it. I live nearly an hour from Clear Advantage and chose them after a recommendation from my local eye doctor. I strongly feel like they must be the best in the region. Doctor Peters and the entire staff make the process clear, casual and pain-free. It's been nearly 30 years since I've had vision like this without contacts/glasses. Don't make my mistake and rule out this operation from fear.

LASIK. I am writing this review less than 24 hours after my procedure and have already driven to a…read morefollow up appointment sans pain and with 20/15 vision. This is all truly surreal. I was so impressed with the kindness and thoroughness of the process and staff. I initially wanted to get both eyes done but after reviewing one of my eyes they denied it due to some scarring from a previous ulcer. They noted that their practice is conservative with the patients they take and let's be honest, that is EXACTLY what you want when you're going to have a procedure affecting your eyesight. In terms of the procedure I definitely had some nerves but they truly put me at ease with explaining how quick and foolproof the technology is, if your eyes move, the laser moves. How cool? If anyone is on the fence about getting this procedure, I cannot stress enough how incredible Dr. Peters is as well as the whole staff at Clear Advantage. The 1-2 hours of discomfort after the numbing meds wore off is nothing compared to the feeling of waking up being able to see unassisted and without pain. I live a hour away and I am so happy I made the trek to Portsmouth to get this done. 10/10, do it.

I was referred to Dr. Kavanaugh, my referral was received on a Thursday afternoon. My referring Dr…read more told me to call on Friday to set up an appointment. When I spoke to someone in scheduling the call dropped. I called back and I spoke to Melissa who was absolute 0 help. Because they hadn't entered my info into the system, they couldn't schedule me. Even though they confirmed they received the referral still refused to set me an appointment and the tone in their voices was extremely passive aggressive and had no desire or want to help me. I was told she would put it in her bin for Monday morning. Monday rolls around no call to schedule. I called at 12:45pm to try again, I was again told they hadn't put me in the system, and they would call me to schedule. And that they were booking for August. I didn't get a call back until Tuesday from Addison, she sets me an appointment now in September. I found a different surgeon that specializes in the same Eyelid profession and was greeted on the phone and even though they didn't have a referral they were more than willing to take my information over the phone and set me an appointment for the first week of August and willing to wait for the referral.

However, in July 2025 Dr Renee Lynch gave me a prescription. I ordered glasses online from glassesusa. Result: bad right lens. Eyesight optitian verified lens was correct. Rescheduled with Dr Lynch however, appointment not needed because online chat bot implied Dr Lynch put the wrong number in the Axis for right eye and they would give me a new prescription. I got new July '25 prescription with correct Axis for distance. When I asked for the Progressive version of the same prescription they gave me a copy of the prescription that dr Lynch did back in 2024. After communicating with them to get this situation corrected I suspect that their voice mail to chat log system is a cumbersome, impersonal obstacle to good communication. And for the past two days when I press 7 on their answering machine it goes back to the beginning menu. I suspect that the eyesight of the Eyesight CEO needs to be refocused. A simple apology from Dr Lynch would be a good place to start.

I've had the same insurance for years and never had an issue until I let these people get involved. Now when I get a prescription it somehow doesn't line up with when I'm able to get new glasses. I ended up having to go months longer with an old prescription and just shrugged shoulders from the person in charge of ordering glasses. I had to switch doctors and wait an extra 6 months just to be able to get back on schedule with a different, not as good doctor- but at least I can see. Waited until I was no longer a patient to post.

I don't understand how it works but I have had zero floaters and the magnified screenshots of the water in my macular degeneration has diminished impressively. Obviously I am saying more than I actually know. Also their staff is very professional quickly review my meds and do the eye chart thing using some sort of projector to mirror thing instead of a paper eye chart. I thought they were teasing me after the first three or four lines. They asked me to read. I was sure there was nothing. So I took a pic with my new eye phone and mag died it. Sure enough it had letters on it.

Let me treat her with an adult's courtesy. 3 ~ Chelsea's response? "Thank you for your patience."??? Not so much. Try an exasperated, impatient, sarcastic, scolding "I'll take the next customer. Just READ THE SIGNS, folks." She was evidently referring to the "Open" sign, which of course read "Open" for the previous 10 minutes, when she'd been waiting on the previous customer. Nothing had changed, and she was literally hidden behind an enormous partition, so common courtesy compelled me to presume nothing, and to kindly await her. I can't read minds, you see, nor see through partitions. And yet her tone CLEARLY conveyed that she imagined herself to be dealing not with a Gentleman, but with an idiot. Ironically, she was correct. She was only mistaken in how closely the idiot was sitting. * The Doc and others were excellent.
