At the same time I additionally had to get Toric lenses for astigmatism and they were $1100 per eye, totally worth it. Do you want to see, or don't you? Seeing is good.

We had an Excellent experience today w/ Dr Colburn @ Spokane Vision Clinic. Both the nurse & the…read moredoctor took their time examining and testing both my kiddos. Additionally the doctor spent a great deal of time discussing & answering all our concerns & questions. He wasn't too pushy in either direction but rather provided us extensive knowledge about both forms of treatment and the success rate of each. We came to the appointment because we were recommended for Vision Therapy by one of our normal family vision doctors but Dr Colburn explained in detail why that may not be the best route to take, we personally picked this clinic despite us being referred to another clinic because of the detailed expertise on their website and we were hoping to seek care from the best of the best no matter the distance of travel (we come from Moses Lake). He also explained the possible need for surgery with my son but not my daughter. He described all of the details of what that would entail and the success rate and potential final outcome from surgery. We felt he genuinely respected our wishes as he could see we weren't a fan of having to have my son undergo surgery. He did a great job educating us with all the knowledge we needed to make our own decision as a parent (my mom was there with us in place of my husband) and recommended we do followup appts for my son in 6 months and 1 year for my daughter unless we see a negative progression in their symptoms or challenges within in their learning abilities that may be (or may not be) from their vision challenges (Strabismus exotropia aka wandering eye). He elaborated on the extensive cost of Vision Therapy and explained that medical coverage doesnt cover the expense because there is no proven medical studies that support the success of it but also told me if we wanted to still pursue vision therapy treatment to certainly do that if we felt it was worth the chance it could make a difference. With that said although he said surgery for my son may potentially help my sons issue there was no guarantee which is why he said we can monitor the condition. We genuinely appreciated his knowledge and willingness to educate us and didnt just soley push surgery beings that was the only treatment he could provide. Lastly his staff was all very patient, knowledgeable and respected our time. We had to schedule two separate appts one for each kiddo that were 1hr apart but they didnt proceed in that manner. Both kids were examined carefully back to back and reviewed with care. They truly took their time with us and treated each kid accordingly. we were a bit nervous coming to the appt because of a couple negative reviews I seen on Google but our experience was awesome...nothing remotely close to some of the negative Google reviews I read. Im so glad I followed my instincts to schedule with this clinic oppose to the original one we were referred to in TriCities. I felt Dr Colburn truly cared and went above and beyond to give me all the background knowledge I needed to feel comfortable navigating and making my own parental decision now and going forward. If you or your kids are having vision limitations such as my kiddos I highly recommend you schedule an appt here. While we didnt get the prognosis we were expecting I think it was better because he educated us in all the treatments we could ultimately choose to pursue how we felt best necessary. When we originally began reviewing this issue 1yr ago with one of our home vision doctors it was dismissed and mis-diagnosed. When we seen a different doctor within the clinic he recommended the vision therapy. The 1yr lapse of time really had me frantic about the situation and feeling like I was racing against time to not fail my kids need for care. But knowledge is power and this appointment really allowed my concerns to be recognized but not be full of worry. Thank you Dr Colburn & staff of Spokane Vision Clinic you really helped me relieve some stress from my worried Mama mind that I have the knowledge I need to proceed in the manners I feel necesssary.

BUT the "glaucoma eval" was 45 mins. late and was a joke -- basically just an unneeded vision check. Then the consult was 2 hours late and the surgeon decided he didn't want to the procedure we were there for that day. We ended up staying in a hotel overnight after he tried to talk us into something else entirely. The procedure worked, as our primary eye doctor was sure it would, but we were completely underwhelmed by the surgeon's "info" and recommendations and the prescription for the follow-up eye drops was never even sent to the pharmacy! All told, this office cost us 4 hours of waste time, $150 for a hotel, and a lot of confidence. We will NEVER go there again.

It was also effective as I now have 20/15, coming from 20/50. So no more squinting to read road signs!

Was told that could take up to 3 months to go away. Procedure: It took around 10 minutes or so, eyes fully numbed, then the Dr. pushed some kind of metal rings around my eyes to keep them open, that was awkward. At times I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or closed, as sometimes my vision went black (creepy). Couldn't feel the flaps being cut by the cold laser. When Dr. was pulling the flaps back, what I was seeing looked like it was going up and away from view, also vision was immediately very blurry while flaps were opened. During the laser sculpting, it smelled like burning hair, although no burning occurred. They say it's just a side effect of the laser reacting with molecules. Vision came back when flaps replaced. Could see everyone right away when I got up, but very blurry. Overall very happy I had this done. Keep your expectations in check, read all the fine print, etc. This is a life changing experience.
