Excellent LASIK procedure here.

I held off until 6 months post-op before I wrote this review. Before, I was near-sighted with astigmatism. I am one of the lucky few who had an excellent result. It may take a little longer than some before my vision is stable but nonetheless, nothing but a positive vibe. I have 20/20 vision in each eye with a combined 20/15 vision. Did not lose any night vision. No glare, star, or halo. No sensitivity to daytime light. No dry eyes.

I chose this place because of my annual eye doctor, Dr. Reed. The reason is, unlike some location who does nothing but LASIK, Nevada Eye Consultant has a team of doctors in-house that deals with anything eye related. Should something goes wrong, they have more than one capable doctors to help you out. For LASIK patients, you will use the other side of the office, so you don’t have to wait in line with other none LASIK patients. Go through the side of the building that faces Neil road. They have a different lobby for you to wait in.

Here’s how it all went down if you are curious.
Note: This review is based on a LASIK procedure.

===(Initial visit): No designated driver is required.
On this first visit, you will make an appointment to come in for a quick eye exam with the nurse to see if you are a good candidate for the LASIK procedure. They will go over options for which procedure is right for you. Yes, there are more ways to correct your vision other than LASIK. The nurse will go over them with you. If you deem a good candidate for the procedure, they will ask you to make a second appointment for a more thorough exam.

===(Second visit): No designated driver is required but should if you can.
After you deemed a good candidate for the procedure, this is where you will undergo an intense dilation test. Unlike any dilation you have done before, you will be extremely sensitive to light for maybe more than 24 hours. In this appointment, the doctor will meet with you to go over everything. Even though you made it past the first visit with the nurse, if the doctor sees something that might yield a bad result, he will not recommend the procedure. But if you are, you will go over a very detailed step-by-step before, during, and after the day of the surgery ahead of time. On this visit, you will make an appointment for surgery day that is within two weeks of your 2nd visit. They normally will have a surgery time late in the afternoon to evening so that when you are through with surgery, you will be taken home and rested.

===(Surgery Day): Designated driver required.
On this day, it’s a good idea you already took a bath, essentially wearing something you can go to bed in right after the surgery. No makeup or product on your face. One final look over on your eye along with drops to prep. You will be in a comfortable room alone watching an animated video showing the procedure. If you are scared, do not worry, the nurse will give you something to relax and take the anxiety away. Also, don’t be alarmed if you are not the only one on the day of surgery. The surgery itself is done within minutes. Mine was done on a Thursday around 5-6 pm. So a good idea to take Friday off of work. Thursday off if you want, but not necessary. I didn’t.

===(Post-op Day): Can drive yourself if you feel ok. I wasn’t.
You will come in the following day for the doctor to check everything out. After this day, the doctor will reach out to your goto eye doctor. They will be the one to keep checking your eyes until it heals completely. No extra payment require, it’s all in the LASIK package that you paid. Between the two offices, they will communicate with each other and deal with it.

===(Visiting your Eye Doctor):
This visit is about one week after your surgery. Again, you are not visiting Nevada Eye Consultant. You are visiting your annual eye Doctor, depending on who’s your Eye doctor is in town. They will check your vision to see if it has improved as well as healing. Then your doctor will want to see you again 3 weeks later.

===(2nd Visit to your Eye Doctor):
They will once again, check your vision and healing. Depending on your healing and vision. This might be the last time and everything is beyond perfect. For me, I had to see my eye doctor two more times after this until everything is absolutely stable and 100%. Once again, no extra cost to you. You already paid it when you did the LASIK. Even though it’s a different office, I don’t know how they deal with payment. Good thing is, you don’t have to deal with it.

As I mentioned above, it took me 6 months before everything was 100%. If you fall in the same category of slow healer as me, give it time. Even if something didn’t go right, within the LASIK package, you are allowed to come in for a 2nd operation called “Enhancement” to correct anything for up to two years from your initial LASIK procedure. I had doubt during my 6-month recovery, but at last, I couldn’t be happier that I chose Nevada Eye Consultant.
