TLC Laser Eye Centers

I saw Dr. Jones for the consultation the week before my surgery and she was so sweet and encouraging. I did ask if there were many people that had to come back for tweaking and she said in all the years she’s been there it’s been less than 1% and that’s because they didn’t follow instructions. The day of surgery I saw Dr. Ragland who performed the Lasik Intralase procedure. He explained everything in detail and made sure to answer any questions. The actual procedure took less than 3 minutes from prep to finish and Dr Ragland even did a 30 second count down (that’s how long it took for each eye). They offer 5 mg of Valium which I highly suggest taking even if you think you don’t need it. You’re required to take a long nap as soon as you get home to help the healing process and that Valium was a major help in putting me to sleep. My eyes felt dry and scratchy for the rest of the day which is normal. The next morning I woke up with blood shot eyes, but absolutely perfect vision. Everything was crisp and clear with no scratchy or dry feeling. It was like going from plain old flat vision to super HD, Blu-​Ray vision! At the follow up appt I had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision and was told it will get better. The Doctors are warm and friendly, but I can’t say the same for the assistants. They weren’t rude or anything but just seemed more focused on getting the job done. Everyone puts a strong emphasis on the importance of following the post procedure restrictions which is given in writing along with a pair of Terminator looking sunglasses & eye shields for sleeping. It’s all pretty much common sense… don’t rub your eyes, no strenuous activities, & avoid getting anything in your eyes. Before I had Lasik I did a lot of research on different Laser eye places, I read all the stories, reviews, and even watched YouTube videos. There seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding Lasik and plenty of horror stories, so make sure you’re going to a trustworthy place and don’t be influenced by discounts or special sales. I’m extremely pleased with my results from TLC and totally recommend them.
Update: Just had my 1 month follow up and my vision is perfect. Still no complaints.
