On May 11, I saw my regular eye doctor to get an updated prescription for my glasses. Instead of…read moreupdating my prescription, she referred me to Eye Doctors of Washington because of supposed scarring on my eyes. The earliest appointment I could get was on June 23, almost a month and a half away. To make it worse, although I live in Tysons Corner, I could only get an appointment in their inconvenient (to me) Chevy Chase office instead of their Tysons office. At the appointment, instead of updating my prescription, the doctor prescribed medications for supposed problems that have never been diagnosed before. I now have to go back to that inconvenient office on August 31, which means I'm stuck with my outdated prescription until at least sometime in September -- unless they come up with another excuse to delay things even further. From first doctor appointment, it is going to take at least four months to get glasses with a current prescription. That kind of delay is entirely una.

Then there's time to ask the doctor any questions. The actual surgery took about 10 minutes. It felt weird/uncomfortable, but there was no pain during. I could immediately see after, but was extremely sensitive to light and my eyes were stinging/ watering. I took a couple tylenol pm and went right to sleep. Five hours later, everything felt great and my visionqaa clear! The sensitivity and gritty feelings were gone. I was able to drive myself the following day to post-op with Dr Amir and already had slightly better than 20/20 vision. The office is very no-frills in comparison to the others in the area. However, since the reviews were great and Dr Wills is extremely experienced, I went with them. So glad I did! As others noted, just make sure you have your preservative-free drops on hand. I'm a week post-op and wish I'd done this sooner!

I had horrible, horrible eyesight & if you're telling yourself you do too, wait till you hear my old prescription. 'cause I had to live over 10+ years with this degree listening to people with -1 or even -.5 tell me how bad their vision was. cue rolling eyes. I was a -11 & -12 in my left & right eye respectively. Now you can gasp & go, "holy sh*t". that's right. I was pretty much blind. If I didn't have glasses or contacts in, my whole world was one giant blurry mess. I couldn't make out distinctive items & I sure as hell couldn't identify a human being from one another. Funny enough, I never looked into laser eye surgery because I didn't know if I qualified. I originally went to TLC laser eye surgery (where they wasted my time and told me I would not qualify for laser eye surgery due to my high degree). So, I had to call around & actually ask clinics if they took in high degree patients. Spoiler alert, a lot of places do not due to the high risk factor involved with taking in high degree patients. You basically burn off a lot of your eye tissue to even get you to a better degree. Now I wasn't expecting anything wild, but anything is better than what I was at. I finally called Liberty Laser Eye Center after reading a review about how this one patient with a high degree was able to get to -.75 after her surgery. She was just about the same degree set as me & was going on over a few years after surgery. Naturally, I had to call them & make sure they still took in patients with my degree. Dr. Tanchel was so ready to work with me & to see what she could do for me. She never pressured me, but gave me a ton of information on the procedure itself. Spoiler alert - I went through with it. I could only qualify for PRK - which is the original laser eye surgery before LASIK came out. PRK is the procedure where they scrub the top layer of your eye ball & then shoot a laser into your eye. I will say during my procedure, I was pretty nervous. She put in numbing eye drops in my eyes & I had to wait a few minutes for it to set. Weirdest feeling to have your eyes numbed. I had my right eye done first & then my left. The system started recalibrating before they began on my left eye. Omgosh. So, so turns out the numbing drops don't last a long time. After the system recalibrated, they pulled me back into the room. I felt her scrub my eye ball, whooo, weirdest feeling ever. She thankfully put in extra drops in my eye & I felt so much more relief. Each eye took about a minute to complete & each time it just felt like I was looking into a red dot. Afterwards, I left a little blind. I could see right after for a split second before my vision went blurry. I ended up sleeping in my closet for a whole week & that was nice. I was constantly tired & sleeping. If I was sleeping, I was putting in my medicated eye drops & regular eye drops to keep my eyes hydrated ('cause I just had them burned off by a laser.). It's been over six years, and to say I am happy is understated. I am beyond thrilled that I can see. I am ecstatic that I can wake up in the middle night without being blind to my surroundings. I no longer need glasses/contacts to be able to see. y'all I can drive without any corrective lenses. it's amazing! highly recommend you contact Dr. Tanchel for an appointment.

It's been 3 weeks since I first asked for a refund of money I paid for a service they couldn't provide and I keep getting told there is no update.

I wish there were an option to give 6 stars. Or 7. Dr. Mitchell is awesome…read more So 4.5 years ago I had him do my ICLs, which were fantastic because, as someone with vision in the -10 to -11 range in each eye, in addition to dry eyes, I was not a LASIK candidate. Those ICLs made it so that I didn't have to wear glasses anymore, and could see just like everyone else. Hooray! But then about 2 years ago, I had a corneal lesion (don't ask, you NEVER want to have one of those-- SO horribly painful) and that (likely) set off a downhill slide into ... CATARACTS. Yes, a 38 year old developing foggy vision, especially in the left eye, where I'd had the corneal problem. By the time I was 40 (earlier this year), my left eye was completely fogged and useless and my right eye was halfway fogged up. It was like looking through an opaque fogged up shower door all day long. I couldn't see squat. 40 year olds aren't supposed to have cataracts! Grandma and grandpa are! Well, in swoops the gallant Dr. Mitchell to save the day, yet again. During surgery, he pulled out the ICLs and the fogged up natural lenses and gave me crystal clear new lenses and now I'm seeing better (mid-range and distance) than I ever have. EVER. Even with the ICLs. (The reason for that is it's always better vision the fewer lenses there are - so natural + ICL is going to be worse than just natural.) Because I had an astigmatism to fix and they don't make toric multi-focals (and the Dr. says he thinks they wouldn't be that good anyhow because it's trying to do too much), I will always need (pharmacy-bought) reading glasses for the two feet or so in front of me, but sheesh! I can see again! I can read street signs! I can see leaves on the trees instead of just a blob of hazy color! I. Am. Thrilled. Marry me, Dr. Mitchell? :-)

They were patient answering my million questions and I had a comfortable experience from beginning to end. While it is true that you do not see Dr. Holzman until the day of your procedure, it didn't bother me. Since you will see the optometrist at the office at least twice before your procedure, you will want to direct all your questions to him, so there are no surprises on the day of. On my procedure day, Dr. Holzman just reiterated what was already told to me many times. They send you a bunch of papers beforehand for you to sign, and you do want to read all of it. Being in the healthcare field, I am always reminding my own patients that each individual is different, and there is a chance that your results will be different from someone else's. So I went in expecting some cloudiness in my initial results, due to my high prescription, meanwhile hoping for the best. You go in on the day of your procedure and are given a Xanax to calm you. I personally wasn't very scared, and Xanax doesn't really kick in anyway until after you are in the operating room already. My advice is to trust Dr. Holzman and go in relaxed, and it'll be over quickly! The room was cold, but they gave me a blanket to cover my legs, and also a teddy bear to hold :) You feel some pressure (a lot of pressure) on your eyes and I believe it took less than 5 minutes per eye. When I stood up, I already felt like I had pretty good vision. I drunkenly went home (have your driver with you) and passed out immediately. Four hours later, I woke up feeling like I had perfect vision! At my post-op the next day, I was told I can see 20/15. Yay! I left that appointment and treated myself out to some new shades for the recovery week :) Make sure to use rewetting drops as I could feel my eyes getting better day by day. I believe a large part of this recovery is the patient compliance. Do wear shades outside, do sleep with goggles so you don't accidentally rub your eye, use the antibiotics and rewetting drops, and I hope everyone has as good an experience as I did!
