LIFETIME "WARRANTY" IS A COMPLETE LIE!…read more I had Lasik at a TLC Eye Center a few years ago and was given paperwork that assured that the huge fee paid included a "lifetime warranty good at any TLC Laser Eye Center in the country" as long as I kept up the yearly eye appointments. Each year, my TLC-network optometrists have assured me that is still an option for me (3 optometrists in 3 locations) and that I can just go to the Greensboro location now. I call to schedule the consult for the revision the optometrist recommended--that she told me I was eligible for under the warranty--and they tell me I have to be entered as a "new patient" and RE-PAY all the VERY HEFTY FEES because the location I was at originally closed and they refuse to honor the warranty. I got Lasik so I wouldn't have to wear glasses and pay for contacts, and two years out, I'm back wearing both and they absolutely REFUSE to even consider honoring the warranty.

I have wanted eye surgery to correct my vision for quite a while now. As the cost was no longer…read moreholding me back, I decided to book a consultation here. During the consultation, the staff ran a plethora of test on my eyes to get a baseline and determine my eligibility. After, Dr. Nunnery came in and informed me which options I had for vision correction. I was still very much nervous, mostly due to my own fears, so I decided to give it a week or so to think about. I ended calling back and booking the appointment for PRK. I went in about a month later for the surgery. Due to some technical difficulties, the staff ask me to return the next day for the surgery. I went back the next day, and they performed the procedure. The team went above and beyond to ease my nerves. The surgery was only about 20 minutes in total and as I rose from the chair, my vision was almost perfect. The couple days after PRK are miserable as the healing process begins, but I was supplied with plenty of prescriptions, gear, and guidance to ease the process. There also were a few checkups during this period to ensure the process is going smoothly. It's about a month after my surgery and I am so happy with the decision. My vision is great, and the cost of about $6000 was worth every dollar. Dr. Nunnery is a professional in his craft and is a personable individual throughout the entire process. The rest of the staff is just as kind and ensured I had as seamless an experience possible.

I've been a patient at Carolina Ophthalmology for the last several years (see my separate review of…read moretheir office). And I've been a glasses-wearer since, well, third grade. Growing up, I stubbornly refused to sport them and would only put them on when trying to read the clock -- or the chalkboard. (It's a wonder I graduated, really.) I was finally able to get contacts in high school (oh, happy day that was). But the worry of losing one in gym or remembering to pack eye solution for vacation and so on was always an annoyance. I wanted to have LASIK but it just really wasn't a financial reality until recently. Even better, the office was running a special that came to $1,000 off or so. I know you may be thinking: discount eye surgery? Eep! I've always been a patient of Dr. Scroggs and so when I had my initial consultation, it was my first meeting with Dr. Bryan -- the LASIK surgeon. I felt like I was in very good hands the whole time. Pam first talked to me about the procedure and then showed me a video. I had my eyes examined and a cornea scan done, plus a sit-down Q&A with the doctor, and was declared a good candidate for the procedure. The worst part of the whole thing has to be a tie between being forced to wear my old-prescription eye glasses for a month leading up to the surgery (not a vanity thing, but a practical thing -- I haven't kickboxed since March!) and having slips of paper put in my eyes for five minutes to test tear reaction. Yes, it's as uncomfortable as it sounds. Anyway, the good news is since :that's: the worst part -- the day-of is really easy, breezy! Be ready for some final eye scans, a shower cap and some Valium. Yes, you'll be awake in the OR (but it's only 40 seconds each eye. And was basically painless. Dr. Bryan talked to me the entire time, let me know what was coming next and encouraged me through the parts that might have been a little scary otherwise. Plus they give you a stuffed animal to squeeze! -- I remember in my valium-ed state being very disappointed that I didn't get to keep that 'gator). But I did get thorough post-op instructions and a travel kit full of eye drops. The doctor called me at 5pm the same day to check on how I was doing. And though it's only been 24 hours since, I can see better than I ever have. Had a follow-up today, and still no stuffed gator, but I did get a tee that reads: Guess what I'm not wearing? How cute -- and dare I say... yelpy. ps) I have some $200 coupons for LASIK that are good through the end of June. PM me if you're interested. If you've ever thought about having the surgery done, I swear, you won't be disappointed!

I had a wonderful experience. I am a new patient and moved to this practice because my other eye…read moredoctor took 2-3 hours for an annual exam. Adding the wait time, which was minimal, and actually being seen I was only at Hecker for 60 minutes. I saw Dr Jones and she could not have been nicer. They explained the procedure and results with me in a timely manner. I don't think I waited in each exam area for more than 5 mins. Yes, you are "shuffled" from room to room but that is because each room serves a different purpose. One was a dark room to scan the retina, other had the large equipment to evaluate your vision, and the last was the doctor's office to talk about the results. At least this was my experience. Yes, the decor is out dated. But my other optometrist had beautiful, trendy furniture but that doesn't mean I want to sit on it for 3 hours. I would trade wallpaper for service any day.

Having perfect vision is a dream come true! I've been wearing glasses/contacts as a child, and I…read moreguess the past few years has been my nudge to just get through my bucket list. Correcting my vision was one of them. I knew I wanted/needed LASIK but wasn't serious until this year. I shopped around a bit and scheduled several consultations. What stood out about Travers LASIK is that Dr. Lori Travers performs all of her surgeries herself and has completed over 60,000 surgeries. Impressive. I've learned that when it comes to health you should always choose a doctor who is an EXPERT at their field, and hyper focused on one thing, not dipping their hand at the pot with 5 different things. Her credentials along with her extremely well run office was the reason I chose Travers LASIK over the other options in the Triangle. To note however; Travers is a smidge more costly than the others but you are paying for precision and you're paying for her 20+ years of experience, which is well worth its weight in gold imo. After the surgery, I came out with 20/15 vision, which is better than 20/20 vision. Here was my experience and here are the things I learned. Yes, you do spend a lot of time at the free LASIK consultations and the surgery day itself, as they need to perform tests and take pictures of your eyes with many different devices and expect to see A LOT of people at every appointment. Yes, it does feel like an assembly line / factory but honestly, I was okay with that. I wasn't there to socialize nor did I feel the need to chit chat beyond what I was there for. Everyone was professional, kind and very knowledgeable. I barely spoke to Dr. Travers, the majority of the time I spent talking with her team from one test to another. I only met Dr. Travers in the surgery room and she asked if I had any questions and explained mono vision to me (although I ended up going with distance vision) and I was in and out of the surgery room within less than 10 minutes, as advertised. The actual procedure: If you can't sit still and focus, LASIK might not be for you. (I learned that people with diabetes and/or hormonal changes, pregnant, etc.. shouldn't also have LASIK either) Recovery: from all the reading and research and asking people about LASIK, no one really talks about the recovery. People usually rave about the results which while are impressive, it's important to know what to expect also. After the surgery, you are sent away with plastic shields taped to your face to protect your eyes (and prevent you from touching them) and are directed to sleep when you get home. I couldn't sleep for 6 hours as they suggest, and probably slept for about 3. Your eyes feel very tired and your eyelids feel glued due to the stickiness and crust forming in your eyes. It's annoying to not be able to clean your eyes due to the shields that can't be taken off until the very next morning. You just have to deal with it. The next morning, you take off the shields and your new life begins, you should be able to see very clearly, it's remarkable! One thing to note also is that after age 40, they made it very clear that you might have to use readers (reading glasses) as LASIK is unable to correct near vision, which is natural -- and inevitable with age. I am now 1 week post surgery and am doing excellent. I can see far away and feel like a new person just about. I do still wear (blue light) glasses to reduces eye strain while on the computer which is fine by me, I just love having vision for distance that isn't dependent on glasses. I use eyedrops on my eyes extremely often however, because I want the healing of my cornea's to go as smooth as possible. I expect to taper off in about 3 or 6 months, as needed. Two week update: while I can generally see well, sometimes things far away that I'd expect to be able to read, are blurry. I've read this is normal until the eye completely heals. Also, nighttime driving isn't superb, and things are not as crisp either. I am hoping over the next month that will sort itself out also and that I can see more clearly also. If you're considering or on the fence, go for a free consultation.. you'll learn a lot about your eyes! And hopefully you're a candidate, and hopefully you'll take the leap of faith! Disclaimer: as with any surgery, there are always risks and sometimes short term, and occasional long term side effects. Dry eyes, halos, starbursts, non-crisp night vision, etc. I personally understood all the risks and went with it. But be sure to talk it all through thoroughly with your doctor so you know what you're signing up for. Good luck!

Dr. Travers did my LASIK surgery in 2004 when she was with LASIKPlus. It was the best decision I…read moreever made. My vision was so bad that all I could see was light/dark, shapes, and my fingers in front of my face! I needed to put on glasses just to go to the bathroom at night! I went in thinking and accepting that I'd still need glasses afterwards, and was fine with that. I just wanted SOMETHING better than I had! I never dreamed I'd come out of it never needing a pair of glasses and two pairs of contacts per year again - ever! The surgery was quick and painless. Dr, Travers talked me through it and kept me calm and concentrating. I got up and could read the clock and posters across the room! Two weeks later I had the Corrective Lenses requirement removed from my driver's license! The difference, 17 years later, never ceases to amaze me. I walk down the street and can see the veins in leaves, birds in trees, and all the beauty in our world. The value of sight to an avid reader is priceless. Have your procedure with Dr. Travers!! Her success rate is, literally, in the tens of thousands and counting. She is very professional and her staff is great. Thank you, Dr. Travers!!!
