Lizzie asks…

What's the most popular and most successful laser eye surgery clinic? Is it LASIK MD?

admin answers:

Hi – LASIK MD is Canada’s most popular laser eye surgery clinic. In 2010, LASIK MD performed over 70,000 procedures, more than half of all laser vision correction procedures in Canada. LASIK MD also has the title of being the largest provider of laser vision correction in North America based on procedure volume.

With regards to our results, 98% of our patients achieve at least 20/40 vision (the level required to drive a car without glasses or contact lenses) with just one treatment. This improves to 100% for the few people who undergo an enhancement procedure.

Hope those numbers help,

What do you think of Shobha Tandon, MD, PhD for Lasik Surgery? This is in Union City, CA.?

Did you have a lasik surgery with her? Did she do a good job? Did you have to come back for corrections?

admin answers:

I do not know that doctor. I had my lasik done by Jay Bansal, M.D. I saw him in his Santa Rosa office, but he also practices at these addresses:

LaserVue
1174 Castro Street, Suite 112
Mountain View, California 94040

LaserVue
1700 California Street, Suite 280
San Francisco, California 94109

This was my experience with Dr. Bansal:

I was about 20/250 before Lasik surgery last year. The procedure was painless, probably due to the Valium they gave me. The ride home (as a passenger, of course) was fairly uncomfortable, mainly due to light sensitivity. The doctor gave me dark goggles, but the light was still too bright. I was in some pain once I got home (maybe 3 hours post procedure), but I had some left over Vicodin, and took two doses of that. The Vicodin took the edge off. Slept fine that night. Woke up the next morning, and I COULD SEE FINE! Hallelujah! I was jazzed up about that. I drove myself to my one day check up (an 2 hour round trip) with no problems. For that check up, I was seeing at 20/25, less than 24 hours after the surgery. I went to work that afternoon (doing ultrasound which really requires you to use your eyes). For my one week check up, I was seeing between 20/20 and 20/15. Other than the touch of pain I had post procedure, before I went to bed for the night, I had no other problems. I would do it again in a heartbeat! No more glasses, no more contacts, no more cleaning solutions and saline!

My advice would be to talk to everyone....talk to your family, friends and co-workers. Then ask your family, friends and co-workers to talk to their family, friends and co-workers....you get the idea. I found my surgeon by word of mouth. I asked everyone I know if they had Lasiks (or knew anyone who had Lasiks), and what doctor they went to. Almost everyone I talked to in my area went to the surgeon I ended up going to, and everyone was perfectly satisfied. I went into the procedure very confident!

Just one other thing....I went to a doctor who used computerized, laser equipment. No knives were involved. But, it cost me a pretty penny. I paid $5500 for both eyes, but I was not comfortable going to a doctor that advertised in the newspaper for $500 per eye. Sometimes you get what you pay for! Good luck to you!

Betty asks…

Has anyone went for a LASIK MD before?

For anyone who doesnt know, LASIK MD is basically is a laser eye procedure which improves your vision to near 20/20 sight. I have read the testimonials and they sound convincing but I am still hesitiant. I need to know someone who has and if it is really worth it.

I work for a LASIK center - (Laser Eye Center - Dr Gary Kawesch - San Jose & Pleasanton, CA) and I've also had LASIK done there. I don't know anything about LASIK MD, but what you should look for in a surgeon is...

*experience level
*how long he/she has been in practice
*success rate
*ranges of corrections they have done

Go in for a consultation @ any LASIK center. They should do quite a few tests (your exam should be 1 1/2 - 2 hours) and they can tell you which procedures (which laser type etc) you're a candidate for then also do some research on the lasers.

Sandy asks…

LASIK MD Or Herzig for laser eye surgery?

Hi,

I am planning on getting LASIK's done, I am wondering what others experiences have been because I need to know which is the best place to go for this procedure. I already did a free consult at Bochner. I have pretty strong astigmatism and myopia, both of which they said they can correct fully and they said I should go for the LASIK's procedure. I should of asked the details of my results where, because they tested corneal strength and size of pupils, etc.. but I don't know if I am in great shape or just "borderline passed", on my consults to other places, I will find out exactly.

Where is the best place to go? I am considering either LASIK MD or Herzig.. I hear you get more accuracy with the laser vs. the old steel blade. My main concern is I don't want any chances of any screw ups or "side effects" like halos, double vision, night vision problems that I hear some people are having.

Thanks,

admin answers:

I'm going to go to LASIK MD. I checked out their website and it just seems more, safe and they seem really confident.

I never even heard of Herzig...

Plus, LMD says if you don't have 20/20 vision after your surgery, it's for free.

((Then again.. There's always a risk for lasik surgery... But a small percent. I think it was like a 99% success rate.))
