Update Review! After over a year still happy with results. Wish I had done sooner. Vision is great. No issues except mildly dry eyes occasionally. Worth it and would still highly recommend. read more

I've always thought my eyes (6.0 and 6.5 with astigmatism) could never be corrected with Lasik, but after learning it's possible, I was determined to do it. The initial assessment was very nice, there were only a few people there (went to Dunwoody location), and the doctor that did the assessment was extremely knowledgeable and wonderful at explaining everything. I had to go to the Galleria location because they had the more specialized laser for my horrible prescription. I wasn't really nervous, but excited to finally have the procedure. I was a bit put off at first (not to the point I'd reconsider) by the sheer amount of people there for Lasik-- and ONE doctor. It's definitely a mill. They must make a fortune. Second, I was put off by the doctor. He looked really rough-- like a homicide detective or military captain. Like he's been beat up a lot and doesn't shy away from a good fist fight (LOL). He smiled a lot, to make me feel more comfortable, but he didn't really try to answer my questions and seemed annoyed (some of the things he said to expect were NOT what the doctor who did the assessment said-- he didn't have any interest in hearing it). All said, he did know how to use the laser and corrected my vision just fine. The surgeon is just one of many of the cogs in the wheel, there is no patient-doctor relationship, and they make it very impersonal and sterile to manage expectations (IMO). read more

E X P E R I E N C E I have extension vision history and have considered lasik for a long time. I wore Ortho-K (hard corrective contacts) when I was 6 years old until 12 years old. Then have been wearing soft contacts (I hate glasses- bouncing around my face making me motion sick, and the side view limitations/distortion) for loong time after that. My vision is -650/-675. I did extensive research on which doc and company to go with. I've had several close friends come to this location and have a wonderful experience. The pre-procedure doc (Indian lady) said that they treated a woman of -1200 (my mind literally doesn't understand what that means bc without glasses, I could barely read a foot in front of me and anything more than a foot, were shapes and colors to me). This place, is the bombdiggity.com (does that expose my age lol). ***Initial Consultation: You'll go in for a consultation. Do not be alarmed at the sheer number of people there. The turnover is quick! I went in at 8am, done by 930am. They even offered same day procedure (but due to personal obligations, it wasn't a viable option for me. So I opted to do it 3 weeks later). ***Day Of: Overview: Check in. Sign papers (they really CYA bc they make you sign multiple paragraphs and parts of the paragraphs multiple times to make sure you understand lmao). Pay. (GO PEE NOW). You'll meet Dr Smith for a last assessment. Then procedure. Then Head home! I arrived at 7:55am for my 8am scheduled time and I was done by 10am. *The Procedure: From the moment you are called in, to the moment you walk out, it's a 15 min situation. You'll put your stuff down. (feel free to throw your glasses out the metaphorical window). You'll put on a bonnet. The staff will have you lay down on the OR table (in between two machines). It's a little chilly in the room (we love that. Less bacterial growth) and there's cool funky classic music on (makes you conflicted because i wanna dance but not really because I was nervous for the procedure loll it was calming/uplifting). They put some guaze on either side of your eyes then they'll flood your eyes several times with the numbing drops (It's really soothing). The doc comes in, floods your eyes again. Slides you under machine to the right, puts these clamps under your eyelid to keep your eyelids open (doesn't hurt I promise; you just see him doing stuff but no pain). Then tells you to look at the green light, then he puts this plastic looking circular thing (I bet you love my very proper official names) and presses down on your eyeball (all you feel is pressure. Again, no pain. My vision went black and I could see spots of light). Then he slides you over to the machine on the left and that's where the magic happens. Theres no light or laser to look at; so just look somewhere in the middle. (I just saw a bright white screen with white lights in a circle. He counts down "5 seconds'.."3 seconds"..."Done!" which is so reassuring). Your first eye is done. (Literally it's done before you know it). Repeat second eye. Then you're told to sit up. (I thought I f-ed it up bc I didn't know where to look for the second machine, BUT when I sat up, it was so hazy BUT I could already see better than without my glasses T__T it was. Amazing.) Walk over to the third part (separate machine), where he floods your eyes with more numbing drops and uses forcep like tools to go fishing around on your eyeballs (again, doesn't hurt. It's just weird lmao I'm assuming he's laying the corneal flap down properly). You look at a green dot. As he's moving the (I'm assuming) flap around, this large fuzzy red circular shape appears. You hear clicking and smell something burning. A few seconds and it's done. Repeat second eye. I literally gushed at the doc and the two staff members and thanked them (I was still stunned from the procedure tho) and walked out. YOU'RE DONE. (I could read some text on my phone!) Get home safely! *Post procedure: When i got home, I took the HydroEye vitamins, taped the two clear eye covers to my face, and then napped. Stay in a dark room and listen to podcasts/make phone calls :) TIP: Make alarms for every hour. | I did EVEN hour for the Blue cap (Antibiotic/Steroid) drops and ODD hour for the Clear cap (Optase- hydrating dry eye) drops. this way your eyes are hydrated! My eyes hurt. It felt like I was wearing contacts that had dirty particles on the edges. It felt like I had sand pebbles on my eyeballs (these are dry spots!!). My eyes wouldn't stop tearing up. Keep flooding your eyes with the hydrating eyedrops! Normal! TIP: Cover your eyes at all times. | If you're not wearing the clear eye covers, make sure you're wearing the sunglasses (even when indoors!). Do not risk forgetting and then rubbing your eyes! OMG i have no more space to type but basically staff was amazing and kind, experience was perfect. ample parking. refer to my google review. I'm SO THANKFUL! read more

The staff here was really kind. Chris at the front desk was one of the nicest people I've met. I couldn't believe how kind and reassuring the surgeon was. He's done over 160,000 of these surgeries, but he took the time to listen to me and didn't dismiss my fear prior to the surgery. He didn't rush me and he even told me I was brave afterwards. The surgery was a little scarier and more intense than I was expecting, but the recovery was way easier than I was planning for. It's essentially 4 sets of 30 seconds that are very uncomfortable and then it's over. 2 minutes total. I didn't experience any pain afterwards and would say the discomfort was mild. The aftercare instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was nervous about having to walk my dogs a couple hours after the surgery, but it was no problem. I had my post op apt today and my vision is now 20/15 (better than 20/20). For reference, my contact prescription was -5.00 before the surgery. read more

I had a great experience getting Lasik done with LasikPlus. The staff was friendly and informative during my consultation visit. When it came time to have it done, the surgeon was very proficient and the procedure was quick and easy. I was a little uncomfortable for the first day or two after, but my eyes quickly got back to normal and I haven't had any issues since. I would recommend this facility and surgeon to anyone interested in having Lasik done. On a related note, the review done by Denise D. from July 2024 was very informative. It made the actual procedure day a lot less stressful. I would recommend people read it before the day of their surgery. read more

I had a consult with Dr. Ro about some changes in my vision. I had LASIK done a little over 10 years ago and one of my eyes seemed to be getting slightly worse than the other. Dr. Ro let me know that the correction needed would have been so minor that an over-correction was a very good possibility and recommended against performing any correction procedures. I do not have the lifetime so they could have sold me a procedure if they wanted. The staff at the office were also friendly and efficient, highly recommended! read more

Cannot say enough great things about the entire experience. Easy to get to. Clean, nice facility. Really friendly and caring people. Knowledgeable and skilled doctors and nurses. I could already see better the evening after my procedure than I could before. The next day was even better. Everyone tells me it keeps getting better and better for weeks to come. If that's true I might have X-ray vision before it's over. LOL Seriously - they are great. And look at my AWESOME tee shirt! That alone was worth going through the procedure. read more

Pretty great experience. I did consult and surgery same day, everyone was super nice and reassuring. Next day I can see 20/15. Just wish I had done it sooner! read more

Very friendly staff. Doctor is super warm and welcoming with a great ability to communicate on an informative level. Looking forward to seeing clearly again! read more

1st..upon initial consultation they BEG you to submit a review online/Yelp.. dont believe me? Walk in and prepare to be harrassed until you do. Obviously before you have a life changing procedure you are treated exceptionally well because they want you to commit...after your long "healing" process you are not treated so well. Had my procedure done in 2016.. in both eyes I was -2.0... when I came there I was told I would receive discounted price for that..NEVER happened..paid full price. Since the completion of my surgery I've had vision problems, dry eyes, light sensitivity, halos, starburst etc. And to top it all off I have been prescribed glasses for the astigmatism I now have from the surgery. ... I called and reported the issues I had throughout the 1st few months and was told it was common and to wait 6 months...when I reported after 6 months, I was told to give it 1 yr... after 1yr I was told it gradually improves within the first 2 years..2 years pass with the same issue..and..well you get it?..smh they take very little accountability for their shortcomings.. how can a place be proud of giving the run around after disappointing results?? Stand by your work! At this point I wouldn't trust them to put another sharp object in my eye, possibly blind me..and tell me to give it 2 years to wear off. Smh. read more

LasikPlus - Optometrists Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I had my lasik surgery back in December after thinking about it over 6 plus years. Getting a consultation was quick and thorough. Dr Patel explained everything to me and answered Amy questions. I felt very comfortable and the procedure was quick and no pain just pressure through they made me feel comfortable. So I had to get mono vision one eye farsighted and one eye for the near sighted it's been over 3 months I still feel as if I have a bit of a blurry vision and not feeling as if I'm 20/20 especially at nights and watching tv. Dr said after 3 months it would improve but I don't feel it. So I will be going back to follow up. read more

Things I was worried would happen during Lasik: Going blind, Final Destination, a sneeze, an earthquake, my heart exploding from fear Things that actually happened during Lasik: Numbing drops, mild discomfort (but no pain) for about 10 secs per eye, blurriness, some fuzzy lights, done. LasikPlus is a well-oiled machine, which I liked because I wanted it to be quick and uneventful, and Dr. Smith, who is the surgeon for both the Cobb and Gwinnett locations, has seen over 117K patients. What the entire process looked like for me: - Consultation - virtual (1 hr): For basic questions, think you can skip this if you've already done your research (expected it to be with the actual office but it was someone in DC) - Consultation - in person (1 hr): Went into their office and they dilate your eyes and Dr. Patel checks if you're a good candidate for Lasik. I am blind as a bat (-5.5 in both eyes) but that wasn't an issue. I asked her how many people have gone blind from their office and was told none. Pretty good odds. The front desk gives you your quote. - 3 days of not wearing contacts before the procedure - If you want Valium, they can call it in to your pharmacy the day beforehand and you bring it with you day of - Day of: I had a 8:30 am appointment and they told me to be prepared to wait for 3-4 hours so I brought my computer. You can't drive after the procedure so you need to arrange someone to drop off/pick up. Staff are all wearing masks and you're required to wear yours the entire time, including surgery (good). Dr. Patel checks your eyes again to make sure they haven't changed, you pay, and then wait. I was summoned around 10:45. Chatted briefly with Dr. Smith, he answered all my questions and put me at ease, then I was in and out in of the surgical room in what felt like 5 minutes. - I could see immediately after, it was a little like looking through a blurry camera lens - enough to be able to text/use my phone to call. They give you (or rather, you buy from them) post-care drops and pills, plus stuff to tape eye covers to your face for the first 3 days so you don't rub your eyes. I took a 4 hour nap and could see pretty well when I woke up, but the vision definitely got better over the next few days. - Follow up appointment - first business day after surgery (30 min): Dr. Patel checked and made sure my eyes look ok, did the expected plug asking for a review on FB/Google, then on my way out, the front desk asked if I wanted a T-shirt (say yes - you won't regret it), and sent me on my merry way. I'm just relieved that if I get stranded on a deserted island or the apocalypse happens after the November elections, I won't die immediately from running out of contacts. Is there a better year than 2020 to get perfect vision?? TLDR; Didn't go blind, just do it. read more

Omg So let's be real I couldn't see the tv in my room without squinting . I was sooo scared and nervous to get lasik done but my brother came and had a very good experience.he referred me and I came to the consultation. The doctor put me at ease and the receptionist broke down the pricing with my hsa and payment plans. The procedure itself didn't take long and hubby even videoed the whole experience from The window. It's weird to go back and watch it lol. I went back for my check up and all hood. Best decision I've ever made. read more

Worth doing, the staff will answer any questions you might have. The procedure might feel uncomfortable but it's over in minutes.

It'a great to be able to see! The folks and doctor at this office made me comfortable every step of the way.

Super easy and quick procedure. I was nervous going in, but it's so quick. The doctors and staff were very nice and answered all of my questions and concerns read more

wish I could give them 5 million stars!! Love these folks!! Such an organized and seamless operation. They are super kind, professional and so very thorough. Thank you to everyone at this location especially Chris, David, Dr. Patel and Dr. Smith -- you all are amazing!! I would highly recommend this LASIK center. They are the best! read more

I was hoping to get a lasik procedure. However, I noticed lots of manipulative high pressure sales tactics being used during my initial consultation. Dr. Patel whos actually a saleswoman ( perhaps not a doctor) and very pushy kept asking me whether I'm exicted and when I would like to schedule the surgery even though I clearly told her I haven't made up my mind yet. I felt weirded out with my experience so when I got home, I researched it and came across this site lasikcomplications dot com. I highly recommend anyone considering lasik to check out this website first and be well informed. Also, allegedly most of these 5 star reviews for lasik are fake reviews. read more

I've been wearing glasses since the 5th grade. This year, after my prescription was finally stabilized, I decided to treat myself to Lasik. I was nervous and almost chickened out but I'm glad I didn't! The procedure was quick, painless, and effective! The ye at LasikPlus Atlanta was very courteous and patient! I highly recommend them for Lasik read more

Couldn't recommend this group more! Best medical thing I've done in 45 years. Thanks for everything!!!

Got my PRK surgery here! It was a little more to recover from than my past LASIK but still the best investment I could have made. I hated wearing glasses. The staff was amazing and I can now see great. I have recommended LasikPlus to a couple people and they have all loved it. read more

I came here for my boyfriends procedure. The entire staff was so attentive and really made everything more calming. We sat in the lobby for about 30-45minutes filling out paperwork, which you can do before you come in so you don't have to wait so long before surgery. Dr. Eugene Smith was quick with the procedure. He was so nice and did an awesome job. I really recommend this place. The price wasn't bad. They did match it with another place and made it a little cheaper. I really Enjoy the staff. They made everything so much more comfortable. The day after is blurry he said but it's better. read more

Had my surgery yesterday and today I can see 20/15, better than 20/20! I would recommend LasikPlus to anyone. The technology is amazing and the procedure was quick and painless. read more

Such friendly staff they really guide you the whole way! Can't believe I waited so long to get lasik it's been life changing! Love this place. Do it!! read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE DECIDING First off, I want to say, if I knew then what I know now regarding the truth about the risks and complications resulting from LASIK eye surgery I would have kept my glasses and not gone through with it. But like most, I was fed up with glasses and excited by the promise of "experiencing life free from the hassles of glasses & contacts" (as the LASIKPlus brochure puts it), I failed to remember LASIK is still surgery and I didn't take the time to properly research it. I have included a file outlining all the risks and suggest reviewing before deciding. Secondly, their goal is to sell you on LASIK. Their technique for marketing lures you in the door with advertisements of cheap pricing (which nobody ever qualifies for), and after performing all tests, they tell you the 'real' price. Next, they gloss over the 'low' risks and don't tell you the truth about how risky a procedure this really is. You know why??? Because they know if anything happens you can't do anything about it... NOPE, you can't sue them... EVER! Reason is, the day of surgery, they make you sign a waiver 10 pages long which again, glosses over the risks. Lastly, they offer to do the procedure same day, an absurd practice. Who offers to do a surgery the same day as the consult? This place is like a factory assembly line. The doctor spent all of 90 seconds with me just minutes before the procedure. Other office personnel do all the testing and decide on your refractive percentages. That's insane! Would you allow that with any other surgery? Of course not. He looks over the paperwork, asks if you have any questions, then once again in his presence, has you initial and sign that you accept the risks. Think about that for a minute, this procedure is so controversial that they make you sign your rights away not once, but twice...and in his presence! THE RESULT OF MY SURGERY WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL!!! The mono-vision performed OVER-CORRECTED MY RIGHT EYE, which according to my cornea specialist is at 20/150! So not only is the huge difference between my two eyes creating a depth perception my brain is unable to adjust to, but I can no longer perform my job working on a computer! I have been to both a cornea specialist and Ophthalmologist who were appalled by this error. Furthermore, daytime driving is difficult, and I can no longer drive at night due to halos, double-vision, and starbursts around lights and street signs. And believe it or not, on my only post-op visit the day after surgery, they considered me to be a "success". So much so, they said I required no further post-op visits unless I had any issues. So, in closing, I only wish to educate others so that everyone who reads this FULLY recognizes how important it is to do as much research as possible before making a decision. The industry claim is that only 1-2% of the population ends up with complications, but that percentage is a lie. Refractive surgery is so risky that retired FDA advisor, Morris Waxler, who voted to approve the treatment, now wishes he hadn't and asked the FDA in 2011 to issue a voluntary recall of it, but the FDA declined to do so. Why? Because it's a $2bn business! Waxler's analysis suggests that 10 to 30 percent of patients experience complications that can arise even 20 years post-op. Some with neuropathic eye pain so severe they committed suicide. Some went blind, have lost an eye, many develop cornea ectasia, and the list goes on. (https://invisionmag.com/lasik-should-be-banned-says-former-fda-adviser/). If you've made it to the end of this review and still decide to go forward with it, I wish you the best of luck and hopefully 20 yrs from now you won't develop any issues as so many others have. read more

LasikPlus - Wold you still do it if you knew - Optometrists Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I went in for a consultation today at 1:00 PM. The doctor told me to come back no later than 6:00 PM for treatment. I came back at 6:00 PM and waited FOUR hours in the waiting room before I got called in. read more

Finally got the procedure done and my eyes are better than normal now. The process was relatively quick, literally 7 minutes per eye, and almost painless. That suction cup on my eyeball wasn't the most comfortable feeling but definitely worth the end result. Dr. Smith was amazing, I'd say the best there is. The downfall of the day was the wait time. Prior to having the procedure done, I was told to expect to be there 2-3 hours. My appointment was 9:45, so I had in my mind being out by 1pm. 2.5 hours later they processed me, then told me that the wait was 2-3 hours. I ended up getting out of there around 3:30. So if you're thinking about getting lasik done here, the 2-3 hour time frame is after processing. read more

I love the staffs here. I did not have the chance to get to know dr. Smith but the staffs made me feel so comfortable when I was there. I will recommend this place to family and friends. Oh and for my eyes, I love my new vision now. So totally worth it. read more

I had many reservations for getting laser eye surgery, but after chatting with the associates and the doctors who assured me that the procedure was quick, painless, and seamless, it was absolutely worth it. There is an adjustment period for at most three months, but the lifestyle changes and improvements are absolutely worth every penny. If you're hesitant or have any reservations, just come and make a consultation. You'll be glad that you did. read more

Love this staff and office! I had checked several lasik providers and as soon as I walked in the lobby I knew this was the one for me. What convinced me? The open and CLEAN office had a great atmosphere and would put anyone at ease. The staff is so sweet and accommodating. The hours are very broad! I have a lot that I cram in one day and they were able to get me appointments at 7am on a work day! Even my surgery was able to be scheduled at 6am on a saturday which was great so I could rest all day. Would highly reccomend this branch. read more

It's been 2 years since my vision was corrected to 20/20 and life without contacts has been amazing! I highly recommend surgery with Lasik Plus- they really know what they're doing, and you will be so taken care of. It's hard to remember life with contacts and glasses, and I'd never want to go back. If anyone wants to use me as a referral, feel free- Alyssa Hakanson. Surgery in October 2016. Good luck! read more

I was in communication with them about scheduling an appointment for lasik, they informed me they were extremely booked before thanksgiving and I asked if I be booked in the Duluth location Instead, suddenly Dr.Patel says she found an opening for Tuesday 24 but be prepared to wait 4+ hours. In my consultation, they checked my eyes and pushed me to have a same day procedure, I couldn't and opted to do a later date. I told them from my research it was important I don't be in pain and I want to take a relaxant. They said they'd give me a Valium and throughout the day or the actual appointment they said they would. As I'm on the table to have the procedure 4+ hours later Dr Brian smith says he doesn't like doing procedures on patients on Valium and he will give it to me afterwards for pain. I'd asked several patients throughout the day how their appointment went and they noted it was well and the Valium helped (mind you they won't let your driver up due to "Social distancing" but EVERY seat in their office was full with patients) they refuse to give me the Valium which I'm sure I paid for and as I'm being serviced they have someone else being serviced in the same room on the machine I just got off of. So much for social distancing....as I leave dr Patel again refuses to give me Valium and says I should eat and go to bed. I left their office at 5:30, traffic was horrible and I was in horrible horrible pain. I couldn't sleep and my eyes felt like that had been stabbed and shaved down. It has been a week and my vision is NOT as good as it was with my contacts and glasses. I have a follow up in the Duluth office today and I'm sure they'll have to do a corrective procedure. $4000 and I was rushed out because it was more important for Dr Patel and Dr Smith to go home for the holidays than to do a good job. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! read more

I tried to make an appointment here twice. Unfortunately traffic is so bad that I have missed both. Their location cannot be found by gps. This is what upset me. Last time I was 10 minutes late, which I called and told them because of an accident. And as I'm trying to call the office to figure out why it doesn't match where my GPS is... None of the numbers are to a local office that can help me. I spent another 20 min getting passed around until I found someone that could cancel my appointment for me. They may have good specials but the traffic around the area does not in any way make them worth it. I live 20 min away and I left my house an hour earlier than that. Again, not exactly their fault... but not being able to reach a local office for assistance just really threw me off. What happens after the procedure if I have a problem? read more

I'm extremely pleased with my experience here. The staff is very friendly and all wearing masks. The lobby is large enough for patients to social distance. The procedure is very quick. I was told to go home and take a nap. I did, and when I woke up I could see clearly! At my follow up they told me I have 20/15 vision. After wearing contact lenses for 30 years, this was totally worth it. read more

5 star review for Lasik Plus, I highly recommend this to anyone that has not so good vision. I've worn corrective lenses for the majority of my life until yesterday and now I have 20/20 vision. read more

I received surgery about 4 years ago and it was the BEST decision I could've made. Staff was amazing about everything, start to finish. So nice, calm and kind. And I couldn't believe how quick and painless it was (and I don't take pain well at all). I've recommended them time and time again! read more

Life changing! Dr smith was absolutely amazing! Why did I wait so long. Will highly recommend!

Great staff. The Doctors were very nice and reassuring. Feeling great the next day.

This place is hands down the best! The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable on the procedure. Dr.Smith was very informative and made any anxiety that I had disappear. The procedure was quick and the best decision I've made. Complete game changer! You must get this done and definitely come here to do it! read more

Excellent virtual consultation, very welcoming staff, and the experience was painless. My vision is actually 20/15!!! Check them out !!
