They have a revolving door of people just getting lasik. If you sit in the waiting room you will see 10+ people before you, they want as much money as they can possibly get. My fiancé went in there about a year ago now, he got the lasik and his eye never got better it just worse. Now that we're here a year later he gets eye pains he never got before and his vision is also worse than before. Do not come here they do not care and only want money. read more

Well this place is just amazing. They make you feel comfortable the minute you walk in. They handle everything and explain everything very well. I had it done this morning and Dr. Rom was extremely nice. They answered all of my questions and the actual procedure only took a couple of minutes. I did get some nausea afterward and once the numbing drops wore off, I had some light sensitivity, burning, and itching, however; it's not unbearable. I wish I would have gotten this done years ago. My vision is perfect now! Seriously y'all, 10/10. This is freakin' awesome! read more

Awful place the doctor doesn't know what he's talking about and wouldn't even if his degree slapped him in the face . You'll go blind here. LASIK is a scam and they don't even care about existing issues within your eyes... all they see is dollar signs read more

Fantastic experience Very careful doctor and staff Can't believe the results!!! Very affordable read more

The public deserves to know the truth about lasik. It's your choice if you go through with it or not. Do your research, lasik places censor bad reviews , look up "lasik complications on reddit" and you'll see real people with real issues and no solutions due to being deceived by lasik. I advise against an lasik/ or refractive surgery due to my experience at LasikPlus. The lasik industry, specifically LasikPlus staff, intentionally and deceivingly withholds information that is necessary to know prior to your surgery. The surgeon, Dr. Rom, doesn't even meet with you prior to the surgery. During your consult you will work 99% of the time with an aid/ tech who will gather basic info. Then you will have a refraction done with optometrist (Dr. Patel)or ophthalmologist (Dr. Lehman). You can ask as many questions as you want, but you will be lied to directly to your face as I was by Dr. Patel. Lasik is a ELECTIVE surgery, it is not necessary. All that was stated by aid/ and Patel was that it's normal to have "dry eyes" after the surgery for a couple days and i'll be back to work in two. The lasik industry and staff at lasikPlus knowingly provide misleading information so you follow through with the surgery. They will never explain to you the complications, they will hand you a packet with them and it will state that they " they may or may not go away". they do not explain what they are any person without a PH'd will not understand them. The stats of lasik are grossly misreported. the SURGEON determines the success of the surgery to the FDA. that being said when they say 97% "satisfaction rate" is grossly wrong and unethical. After surgery, you will have to go to a separate corneal specialist because the staff will tell you to " let it heal" when you develop complications . Once going to seperate corneal specialist it was determined i should have never been approved for the surgery due to thin corneas and a high percentage of tissue altered, along with the laser creating HOA's . Staff believes that the average person does not know these things and they don't, until i did my own research it and confirmed it with the separate specialist. The staff will only try and fix it by another procedure, but be warned it can only make things worse . the surgery not only created vision issues, but i have had a terrible headache for 3 months since the surgery. Staff will try and say it's a " coincidence" which is ridiculous . I never had headaches likes this before. It's due to my eyes not focusing or working together. If you're a contact wearer, you CANNOT wear normal soft contacts after lasik due to dry eye and also them reshaping your eye. They will lie to you and say you SHOULD be able to, this again was a lie provided by Dr. Patel. HOA's which are induced by the laser, usually relating to pupil size while dilated, can't be fixed with contacts or glasses. they can only be fixed by expensive, large, and hard to find specialist scleral lenses. At this point they will admit something is wrong and blame it on " how the eye heals" and they will say that " they can't predict how it heals", which would of been nice to know PRIOR to the surgery. If you're going to get a refractive surgery, i suggest that you go to a large hospital affiliated with a large company like UPMC VISION institute who actually cares about what's best for your eyes, not just making a buck, and meet with your surgeon PRIOR to the surgery. Lasik has destroyed my quality of like. The public deserves to know the truth about lasik. The lack of information prior to surgery and intentionally misleading nature by all the staff, especially by DOCTORS who are suppose to have your best interest in mind, because at the end of the day it's an ELECTIVE surgery. It's unethical and immoral. Your vision is essential. Don't permanently alter your eyes to live without glasses or contacts for however long it lasts. if the public was TRULY informed for the surgery, with actual statistics, MANY people would not get the surgery. My vision is worse now than it was prior. It's unacceptable that Dr. Rom and Doctor Patel, prioritize money, over giving you the best guidance to maintain healthy eyes. Should have been a red flag when you don't meet with the surgeon prior, due to him working at his own practice in Ohio, priorities huh. read more

I feel like my life has been changed and I have been blessed with a miracle. I realize how dramatic that sounds but let me explain my eyesight prior to LasikPlus. My vision was -7.5 in each eye. I was legally blind. I couldn't put mascara on without my contacts in because I couldn't get close enough to a mirror to see clearly. I have been wearing glasses and/or contacts for 37 years and my vision was getting worse. The procedure itself was slightly uncomfortable, but not unbearable. And, it was over so fast I didn't really have a chance to be bothered. When Dr. Rom finished, I stood up and I could see my boyfriend on the other side of the glass smiling and waving. I could see!! I went in blind as a bat, five minutes later I could see! I went home, slept for 5 hours and when I woke up my eyes felt fine! At my follow-up exam this morning I was able to see the bottom row of the eye chart and have 20/15 vision! The staff at LasikPlus was incredible. Everyone was so nice, so friendly and personable. It's hard to put into words how happy I am with the people, the service and the procedure itself. I highly recommend LasikPlus in Pittsburgh, Dr. Rom and everything about that office. If you want to ask me questions one on one about my experience, message me and we can talk. I have never offered that before, but that is how happy I am. read more

The people at LasikPlus on McKnight Rd. in Pittsburgh, PA are very professional and kind! I was given my sight back without the need for glasses or contacts after over 48 years of needing them, I am very grateful to the staff and doctors there! I highly recommend them if you are looking to change your life for the better in regards to LASIK surgery! read more

I visited LasikPlus for a consultation. I did not proceed with them for the procedure. I visited all 3 options in Wexford for consultations. My first consultation was horrendous and made me question the entire thing. I came here 2nd. The facility was clean and welcoming. The staff was intelligent, educated, sincere and normal (something my first consultation lacked). The entire process went smoothly and efficiently. Each employee that I worked with was pleasant and professional. They made me feel at ease. The doctor was extremely thorough and spent as much time as I needed answering all of my questions. I felt confident in them and the procedure by the time my appointment was over. I had already ruled out 1 of the options in Wexford after the consultation, but had 1 more place to visit before making a decision. At the end of our appointment, I was encouraged to schedule a procedure date and was told I could cancel if I decided to go elsewhere. I was given clear instructions and left feeling good about the experience. A couple days later, I visited the 3rd option in the area. I had an equally good consultation. The deciding factor was the laser used between the 2 businesses. The other business had a newer more advanced laser. The laser also had a much larger treatment area. The treatment area determines things like halos etc. The ophthalmologists I spoke with and friends with previous eye experience recommended the other place as well. They work hand in hand with your personal eye doctor which I found reassuring and convenient. All 3 businesses had very similar prices as one another. When I called to cancel my appointment, it was assumed that I was upset over the cost. I never mentioned cost, I was actually shocked. It was less expensive than I was expecting. However the employee that answered kept asking me if it was the price and told me she could offer me her friends and family discount if I kept or rescheduled the procedure with them which would save me $500. It made me a bit uncomfortable, I felt like I was haggling with a used car salesman instead of a surgery center. After I hung up, I knew I made the right decision. I had PRK done exactly 1 week ago with a competitor and have been extremely pleased with my experience. read more

I received lasik surgery in August of 2017 and 3 months post surgery my vision returned back to what it was prior to the surgery. The doctors there told me to wait at least a year before considering having a second surgery so I waited and had to buy corrective eye glasses again. My eyes gave me glare driving at night and looking at computer screens. There are no guarantees that the surgery will work when you sit down for your consultation even though it comes with a lifetime warranty. The doctor told me I need to see another eye doctor to have them do an eye exam and fill out a form in order to be considered for a second surgery. I had to spend about $250 in preparation for the second surgery. In May of 2019 I had my second surgery, but this time only on 1 eye. The doctor told me there was no need to do both eyes and that my eyes would adjust. Well, 3 months later here I am again with glared vision and dizziness from not having both eyes done. I have a feeling a 3rd surgery is in the near future. If I could go back to August of 2017, I would have saved my $6,000 and just kept my glasses. My life has been horrible since my first surgery and if you google "lasik suicides" you will see that this procedure is more dangerous than they make you think. I hope you do your due diligence before making this life changing decision, your eyes are so important and were not meant to have lasers in them. read more

I can see! Seriously, extremely happy with my decision to get Lasik. I have followed all of the docs recommended after care treatment and I have experienced none of the problems often seen with Lasik (other than the halos at night, which is fading) . My surgery was a week ago; and the next day my vision was already 20/15. I could not recommend this surgery, and this location any higher. As someone who experienced chronic eye strain and hated every day of wearing contacts for YEARS this has really changed my life. Just remember, do exactly what the after care says..... dont mess around with your eyes. Good luck and thank you Dr. Rom! read more

I couldn't be happier with my the doctors and staff, and with the entire process in general. The procedure was completely painless and my recovery has been easier than I would have ever imagined. I highly recommend LasikPlus! read more

I had my Lasik surgery here yesterday and so far I am supremely satisfied. I do have a little bit of dog or haze in my vision but have been assured that will go away. It blows me away that I am seeing so great without contacts or glasses. Everyone I've dealt with here has been extremely friendly and helpful. They really prepare you for all of the steps of the process. It was a little pricey, but I see it as an investment in my eyes and an upgrade in my quality of life. I would highly recommend this place. read more

LASIK Plus was a great place to get my Lasik surgery. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The procedure was short and done very adeptly by Dr. Rom. The pre-operative and post-operative care/instructions were impeccable and easy to understand. They only lost a star because they told me that I would be given a medication to help me relax during the surgery, like Valium. I was a nervous wreck about people touching my eyes and the procedure itself, which I verbalized on multiple occasions to the staff. The medication they gave for the procedure: Tylenol PM. FAIL. Did not settle me at all for the procedure. Actually made me worse, because then I was an anxious mess and fighting the Tylenol PM. Disaster. Otherwise, it was a pretty good experience. read more

Kelly and Shannon were very helpful throughout the entire vision correction process. The doctors make sure to educate you of all varying conditions regarding the different treatments available. The surgery went very well and I was comfortable throughout the whole process due to the very welcoming atmosphere and staff. I highly recommend this location! read more

I highly recommend LasikPlus! I have worn glasses and contacts for over 20 years. I finally hit my breaking point when I left my glasses at a hotel before setting sail on a cruise! When I got back, I had my consultation at LasikPlus. I instantly liked the office staff. They were friendly and covered the details of the procedure thoroughly. With financing available and my vision being a top priority, I chose to book the procedure. On the day of my appointment, Dr. Rom talked through the procedure so I knew exactly what was happening. The procedure itself was so fast, before I knew it, it was over. After going home and taking a nap, I woke up to a miracle -- I could see my clock on the far side of my bedroom! In six short hours (nap-time!), my vision was restored. I would have done this sooner if I had known how effortless it would be. One day after the procedure, my eyes feel great, I can see, and I'm only left to wonder why I didn't visit LasikPlus sooner! Thank you Dr. Rom and your awesome staff! read more

LasikPlus - Optometrists Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I just had my surgery last week and I still cant get over how amazing the results are! Although my eyes were not terrible (-3.00) Dr. Rom was able to give me near 20/15 vision! The staff at LasikPlus is very friendly and take care of your appointment on time unlike any other doctors office. Everything about the procedure is well explained and they will answer any questions you may have. The procedure only took 10 minutes and that's exactly what Dr. Rom said it would take. I would recommend Lasik to anyone thinking about doing it! read more

It's been 24 hours and I'm already seeing clearly. I've waited 21 years for this and can happily say that this is the best decision I've ever made. read more

I knew two ladies who had a lot of success here. I went on a whim for a free consultation. I am so glad I did. I had my surgery back in February and have been seeing better than 20/20. I chose to finance my surgery with Care Credit, which is interest free for the first year. read more

I have wanted Lasik for at least 10 years. I did quite a bit of research and spoke with several people. It led me to Lasikplus and I couldn't be happier. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming. They were thorough, answered all my questions and ran like a well oiled machine (which as an administrative / Patient Access Supervisor, I appreciate). The procedure itself was so quick and painless, I didn't believe the surgeon when he said everything was done. They gave me everything I needed for post opt including the eye drops / meds. I went in last Thursday and drove to work Friday. I have told anyone interested to schedule a free evaluation and go for it. I should have gone for it sooner! read more

Like everything else, if it's sounds to good to be true, it probably is. They advertise $250 per eye, then you spend your morning going through all their exams and they come back with a quote for $4k+. And of course they have a reason why it's your eyes that are the issue. Would definitely get it done for $1-2k, but not 4. read more

I had my LASIK surgery done in March 2011. It is one of the best things I have ever done. I was wearing -7.5 and -6.75 prescription contact lenses. I had my consultation on a Monday and was booked for the surgery on that Friday. I was told to arrive at 8AM. I also had to wear my glasses in the days leading up to LASIK. Honestly, this was the worst part!! Glasses give me headaches for some reason, and it was a LONG few days. Day of the surgery I arrive at 8am, and so did about 20 other people. It's first come first serve! I was not expecting that. Had I known, I'd have been there at 7:30. I would have preferred appointment time slots. The procedure is done in a glass enclosure room so everyone can see you. Talk about anxiety while you wait! First you get your cornea cut and have to walk to the laser station. You won't be able to see well on this short walk. The actual LASIK procedure took 17 seconds in my stronger eye and 19 in my weaker eye. I could see better immediately although not clearly. On the ride home, my numbing drops wore off and the not so fun part arrived. Pain, scratching, watering, uncomfortable eyes for the next 4 hours. You are supposed to go home and sleep, but I am not a napper, so I laid in bed in misery for about 4 hours. I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me and I hadn't slept much the night before. I was a watery, snotty mess (snot from watery eyes, it was never ending) At the 4 hour mark I suddenly felt like I could open my eyes and I could see!! The next morning I read the 20/20 line at my post op. Recovery was pretty simple, you will get sick of eye drops though. Literally, you will taste them by the end of the week. All in all I recommend, but gave 4 stars due to the "publicness" of the surgery. read more

I selected 5star rating because so far so good! I was as nervous as it gets and wasn't sure of the outcome as I put all my trust in Dr Rom and his staff to do the best they could for corrective vision. I relied heavily on reviews and other peoples experiences before making my decision to go through with LasikPlus . Not to mention which place to select for this eye procedure. After care consideration I chose LasikPlus. The staff were all very informative, patient and polite. I trusted them and their equipment as best anyone could who feels they're going into this blind. But all questions were answered and I recommend doing your own research and homework and writing down questions for the staff. Great job LasikPlus and I'm so happy who my new eyes as they are now better than perfect I was told by Doc Manly its at 20/15 the very next day after surgery !! read more

So far so good. Only one day in. I felt comfortable during and after the procedure. Any surgery can be a little scary, but with the welcoming smiles and very informational tablet with frequently asked questions it helps relax you. Staff is awesome and very knowledgeable. Thanks again read more

I just got my Lasik surgery two weeks ago. I'm very satisfied with this company. dr Rom was very pleasant and knowing. I would totally recommend this place. read more

I have several complaints about this business and the way things are done with dedicated Lasik surgery centers. Before voicing my complaint, it's worth mentioning my vision before surgery was 20/50 with a very minor prescription but I wanted to be done with hassle of contacts/glasses. I arranged for three consultations (TLC, LasikPlus, and The Lasik Vision Institute). All three centers have the same MO. They offer a free consultation, you spend time with a nurse to do a few eye tests/scans, then you meet with a young female doctor to discuss your candidacy - NOT the doctor who will perform the surgery. The TLC doctor concluded I was a candidate for LASIK and offered a very expensive quote (around $5000 for both eyes). The doctor with TLC also did not offer any guarantee of vision better than 20/30. I was surprised with how much I hear of progress with the surgery in the last few decades so wanted to get a second opinion. My second appointment was with LasikPlus. LasikPlus advertised $250 per eye surgery which I assumed I would qualify for given I barely have a prescription. Of course they found reasons for me (and everyone if you see the feedback on facebook posts) not to qualify. This false advertising alone should warrant a 1 or 2 star review. Once I was in, LasikPlus seemed to do more scans/tests which gave me an initial impression they were more thorough. After having trouble and running one eye test 4-5 times, they concluded I was NOT a candidate for Lasik as my corneas were too thin, but was a candidate for PRK with a quote around $3500 for both eyes. Now I wanted a third opinion. I went to LVI down the street. LVI reached the same conclusion as TLC and saw no issue with me being a candidate for Lasik. I was quoted about $2500 for both eyes. At this point I was very confused which center to go with but decided on LasikPlus as the scans SEEMED more thorough and did not want to cause damage to my eyes. I did get them to price match LVI after I faxed them a copy of my quote. LasikPlus was eager to book the surgery. Up until the day of the surgery I had not met the doctor who would perform the surgery with no opportunity to ask him questions. Five minutes before the surgery, they gave me this opportunity which is very rushed as surgery is scheduled and about to take place. The PRK surgery took place and was very uncomfortable/painful at times but I was able to suck it up for "perfect vision". The first couple weeks post-op were very difficult. Vision was very blurry and I had major issues with glaring, starbursts, ghosting, and hazing. Issues with starbursts and ghosting have improved but not gone away to this day. In week three vision was beginning to stabilize. I notice I had good and bad days where my vision would seem perfectly sharp then get worse the next day. Throughout the recovery I was religious with adding artificial tears, as advised. However one morning early on in my recovery I woke up and opened my eyes quickly. This was never an issue pre-op, but on this morning my eyes experienced shooting pain and began to water like Ive never experienced as my nervous systems response to the pain. It was very clear, this pain was the result of my eyes being so dry to the point of my eyelids causing an unbearable friction just from opening them. I called LasikPlus in a panic and they assured me this was normal. They also made it seem like this wasn't going to be a temporary condition, but rather something I'm going to have to manage for the rest of my life. I asked for an appointment to address my concerns. Throughout the course of the next 7-9 months I met with the doctor on a few occasions (not Dr. Rom who performed the surgery) and tried a few treatment options which would possibly lessen the symptoms but not fix the root issue (add gel ointment into my eyes every night before bed - DIDN'T WORK, buy a humidifier to sleep with - DIDN'T WORK, buy prescription Restasis drops to use everyday - $500/month and DIDN'T WORK!). During this time the young doctor also stated eye nerves begin to grow back in 3-6 months after surgery so the problem may go away naturally. Then when we reached the six month mark, her timeline changed to 6-8 months. I am now 2 years post-op and every morning I have a routine to slowly open my eyes and allow them to produce tears before I start my day. My right eye is decent at 20/20 and my left eye is 20/25. I have issues with ghosting and blurriness at night (those side effects I knew going in and can deal with). Dry-eyes were listed as a possible side effect, but at no point was this overnight dry-eye side effect described or discussed as a painful and permanent condition during any pre-op consultation. The entire point of this procedure was meant to be to take the hassle out of my day. I now have more hassle, more pain, am $2500 poorer, and I don't see as well post-op as I did pre-op with glasses or contacts. If I could do it all again, I wouldn't. If I did, it would be with LVI. read more

I was extremely nervous about my lasik procedure but Dr. Rom and his staff were so amazing! The surgery itself was only a tad uncomfortable for the first few seconds (literally seconds) and then the rest was a breeze!! Best decision I've made. I'm one day post op with zero discomfort as long as I keep up on the drops to prevent dryness!! The correction in my vision is unbelievable. read more

With my vision being 20/800 with astigmatism , wearing contacts and glasses was just very frustrating to live with anymore. Even with contacts or glasses , I wasn't seeing 20/20 and night vision was an awful experience. I had PRK Surgery done on Sept. 17, 2015, and though it wasn't as fast healing as LASIK, almost a month later to the day, I see 20/20!!! I thought at first I was going to need reading glasses (I'm 48) or glasses for night driving, I found I still don't need either. I know PRK nor LASIK can't fix these 2 problems, but with my age, I haven't seen this crystal clear since I was around 7 years old!!! The staff At the McKnight Rd. in Pittsburgh are just phenomenal and makes you feel right at home!!! Thank You All for the miracle of sight!!! Angels in disguise!! read more

I had my surgery in the summer of 2010 at the McKnight location. I was nervous as anybody would be before a procedure. I looked into another center in Pittsburgh but they required that I got an eye exam from another optometrist days before they would perform the procedure. This didn't work with my schedule and they would not return my calls. I was fed up so I thought I would give Dr. Rom a chance since he had performed the second most operations in the area. The staff was very friendly. They performed all of the pre-op exams on site and in one visit. They had me use Restasis (to increase tear production) the week leading up to the surgery and I couldn't wear contacts for a short time as well. Some friends told me that I would have to go without contacts for months but neither location said I would have to go more than a week or so without contacts. You must have someone drive you home after the surgery. They offered me a Tylenol PM to help me sleep after the operation. They explained the entire process and said that when the laser is doing it's thing I would see a green light, then a red light, and then smell something burning. Like getting a tooth drilled or burning hair. I was glad they gave me the warning because I might have freaked out if I wasn't expecting that. I like that you can see the operations being performed. It creates trust between the patient and the doctor and the biggest fear people have is the unknown. They can't hide a mistake when they are within view of anybody in the lobby. Dr. Rom did a quick exam and then administered numbing drops in my eyes. They use one laser to cut the flap. It has a suctions cup which causes you to lose vision in the eye that it's attached to but it only lasts for a few seconds. They do this to both eyes, then guide you to a chair next to the first where they do the corrective part of the procedure. It lasted about 10 seconds per eye and the machine does all of the work. Even if you were to freak out and look around the machine will follow your eye so there is a minimal chance of a mistake. As they had described I was able to see the clock across the room but i was blurry like trying to open my eyes under water. Blurry but not fuzzy like it was before. I had a friend drive me home and I went straight to bed. I woke up once and my eyes did burn but it wasn't too bad. They were very watery and I just went back to sleep. After a few hours I woke up and my eyes were fine and my vision was better than I had ever experienced. I didn't like having to wear protective glasses to bed. You only have to do that for a week but I like to sleep on my stomach so I was happy when i was done with that. During my 1 day follow up my vision was 20/20 and at my 1 week follow up they said that I had 20/10 vision. It's been over 5 years and it was one of the best investments I've ever made. I see better than I ever did with contacts or glasses. I had astigmatism and I would get headaches if I wore my glasses all day. They were almost half he price of other centers and they take 10% if you have any vision insurance. They do the operations 1 or 2 days a week so they have about 30 people come in at staggered times all throughout the day. They could probably knock out about 4-6 per hour so there is very little wait time and you are in and out. I would recommend the procedure to anybody that can afford it. Especially, if you are young and active. I would also highly recommend Dr. Rom and LasikPlus. The staff was very friendly, told me what to expect during each step, and the whole process was hassle free. Like I said at the beginning, I had my operation over 5 years ago. Some of the details may be off such as how long you have to use eye drops or the protective glasses. Plus technology changes all the time. The basic process should be similar and I wanted to write a review from somebody who has been able to enjoy the results for a while. read more

if anyone is thinking of doing this surgery, better think long and hard about it because after they get your money, they could care less about weather or not your vision is correct. i had my proceedure done around 9 years ago and my vision was never the way they claimed it would be, it was always a little fuzzy and they said it was because my eyes were dry, thats bs, then it has gotten worse over the years and when i call for an enhancement , they say i will have to pay more money to go get a dialation exam from a regular eye doctor and then pay more money for the enhancement. i paid over three freking grand for this damned thing!!! i was told " well take care of your eyes for life" thats what you said and you lied!!! if i wanted to spend money over and over again , i would have continued with glasses and contacts. the whole point of this operation is so that you dont have to wear them anymore and continue to pay money over and over!!! im sure some lasik plus employees are going to see this and be angry but look at it from my point, you said you would take care of me and you lied!!!! now my vision is getting worse every day and with your stores closing left and right i have to travel to get looked at which costs money i dont have. should you take care of me for free, you damned skippy because thats what you said you would do, i expect you to stand behind your product but just like every other business in the usa, once you have my money, you could care less. i want the head cheese in charge of lasik plus to get in contact and help me understand why i should have to pay more money for an enhancement after you told me that i would have lifetime care!!!! i dont want to hear it from some damned front desk clerk!!! hopefully if i write enough of these, i can save someone from making the same mistake i did!! read more
