    Dr ****** has shown no real interest in my issues, had laser surgery to remove white film over eye…read moreafter having cataract surgery two and a half years ago. He treated it w laser and has made the white floater now cover my vision at will. The laser did not correct the issues, I have to wait another month before he gets access to laser and can fix this issue. I told his nurse it is very difficult to see, especially drive w this white floater coming over my vision at will. They told me I hv to wait until he has access to laser!

    I went to VEI at Short Pump because my wife had a good experience there. I was careful to make an…read moreappt with the same eye doc she saw. When it was time for my appt, I didn't get the eye doc I requested -- got someone else instead. patel (not who I requested) rushed me through the exam. I filled the prescription ($600) and can't see at all through those glasses. I don't understand how my $10 off-the-shelf reading glasses work yet my $600 prescription glasses from VEI don't work AT ALL. My eyesight is so blurry with the VEI glasses, that I suspect patel made a mistake during the rushed exam... or wrote the RX incorrectly, or the glasses were built incorrectly. Nearly a year later, I decided to give VEI another chance. Again, I requested the same eye doc my wife had a good experience with. VEI didn't bother to call me back to make an appt. PROS: It's a nice facility It's conveniently located CONS: The eye doc I saw wasn't the eye doc I requested The eye doc I saw rushed me through the exam The $600 glasses I purchased as a result of the exam are unusable Lazy front desk staff When given a second chance, they blew it I made the mistake of trying VEI the first time without checking Yelp first. Had I checked Yelp, I would have seen all the 1-star and 2-star reviews and would gone elsewhere (and would have saved $600). Lesson learned: check Yelp first! I'm going elsewhere and telling my wife not to recommend or refer VEI to anyone.

    I have worn glasses and contacts for a very long time. In 2010 or 2011, I met someone who had lasik…read moresurgery and she was telling me it was the best decision she's ever made and her only regret is not doing it sooner. In 2021, I told my eye doctor I wanted lasik because wearing glasses and contacts just ain't it and I am tired. Lol. They recommended a place to me that they work with. I called them a couple of times, no call back. I did my own research and found some good reviews at Lasik eye institute. I got an appointment right away, went in for the consultation. Everyone was great, everything went fine. They explained everything in details to me. I was excited to do it but it took me a while to come up with a date because I was so nervous. I finally decided to do it last month and although I was still nervous, I knew it is the best decision. The staff, doctors, and surgeon makes everything easy and I wasn't as nervous. You meet with the surgeon before the surgery. He explains everything. The procedure was about 10-15 minutes long. I only felt pressure in my eyes. The surgeon talked to me throughout letting me know what was going on and assuring me that I was doing great. That was very comforting. Like I mentioned, so far my experience has been good but my only issue is that, it does take a while to get someone at the center to speak to. When you call you get the customer service people and they tell you they will put a note in so someone from this location can give you a call. It has been 3 times that I have waited 3 to 4 days before getting a call back. I went to see my eye doctor and I had some questions regarding my surgery and asked for someone to call me back but still haven't gotten a call back. This makes be nervous because you only get a postop visit the day after surgery and they tell you to call if there any issue. Overall, great experience. I should have done this sooner. I have recommended this place to a lot of people already. I am only giving them 4 stars because of the calling thing. But everything else was great.

    Overall visit was good but had a nurse called Tanya who was condescending and talking to me like an…read moreidiot I did not like that. Talk to your staff about how they treat people and talk to people.
