TLC Laser Eye Centers

This is not a procedure where you should go for the cheapest deal. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I was able to schedule a free consultation to discuss everything about Lasik. They also did a ton of tests at this consultation to ensure that I was suitable candidate. It was nice to know that they were double checking everything and once they received the results (same visit), they showed me easy to understand graphs and explained exactly what they were looking for and why I was suitable. It made me feel VERY confident to book a LASIK appointment with them.
After I decided to actually proceed, they set up a financial consultation as well to advise me all my options! You can pay up front, or do a month by month payment option with no interest. It was very informative!
Then was the actual preparation for the LASIK. They do the LASIKs every friday morning and you are expected to take the full friday off of work (you will need it just to sleep it all off to help the healing!) You can not wear any eye make up or contacts 2 weeks leading up to the procedure either.
Once it came to the morning of, I was nervous but the people there were very relaxed and made me feel great. It was AMAZING how it literally does take them 5 minutes TOPS per person to do the actual lasik. (there are about 10 other people waiting in a line to get it done. its kind of strange to think about) They give you a prescription for xanax that you take to calm you down, and it made me not reallly notice the actual procedure. Its uncomfortable, but does not hurt at all. Its mostly because you are unable to close your eyes more than anything, you cant actually feel a THING on your eye ball.
After the procedure you relax there for about 20 minutes and then your driver drives you home. You are given another xanax to ensure you pass out for the afternoon (this is to make sure your eyes are not being touched by you since you are going to be sleeping). You are given a pair of goggles to also wear for the next two weeks while you sleep to make sure you don’t touch your eyes. For the vision part of this, when i first got out of the procedure it felt like i was opening my eyes under water, so it didn’t feel like i didn’t have contacts in (not blurry anymore) but still not clear. After I woke up from my nap though (4 hours later) it was AMAZING! I could see so clearly!!! You have a check up the next morning to make sure everything is ok and that takes about 5 mins. after that you are all set!
I definitely recommend this place for not only LASIK, but eye issues in general. Dr. Doyle and Dr Lytle worked with me through out the process and they were both amazing.

Called to check pricing and was quoted $ 2150 per eye over the phone. I have no unusual eye issues and a prescription of –6 in both eyes. Hope that helps someone else wondering about pricing and saves you some time calling :)

I was looking for a center that had reasonable prices for eye laser surgery, and thanks to Unilocal,I found TLC in Dublin. I was examined by one of the drs. and I was told that I needed cataract surgery instead, and insurance would cover it. My eye surgery was done by Dr. Louise Doyle, first on the right eye, and this Thursday the left eye will be done. I really got lucky! She’s an excellent dr. did a great job, the Eye Center on Neil Avenue is where surgery was performed, what a comfortable, clean facility. Its such a pleasure to have Dr. Doyle and the staff at TLC take such good care of me. I highly recommend TLC for lazar and cataract surgery.

Wow, this center is designed to crank out laser eye procedures in bulk! Which is a plus on the day of your surgery… and a drawback on your next-​day follow-​up appointment.
Facilities are super clean, comfortable, with nice amenities like complimentary snacks, coffee and tea in the waiting area. All of the staff is very approachable, calming and informative. You almost feel like you’re getting the VIP treatment at a five-​star resort. They move all of the patients through the surgical process very quickly, so you barely have time to stress about it. And I love that they make everyone take a Xanax pre-​procedure. Who doesn’t love a little warm-​and-​fuzzy?
However, the day after my procedure, I had to go back for a follow-​up. The waiting room was packed with all of the prior-day’s patients. We waited for over an hour just to have someone look at my eye for 5 minutes. The level of service certainly was sub-​par when compared with the previous day. It felt like they overbooked procedures on Friday (to generate maximum revenue, obviously), then tried to squeeze all of the post-​op check-​ups into a half day Saturday.
For the record, my procedure turned out exactly as they said it would: no pain during, no pain the day after, lots of pain the third day (but lots of Vicodin to help endure!), and blurry vision for about a week or two. I am now three weeks post-​procedure and my eyes never felt better and my vision has never been crisper. I appreciate that they told me exactly what to expect throughout all aspects of my care and recovery.
Regardless, I’m very happy with the way everything turned out! Would recommend PRK to anyone.

I had both my eyes done here, one of them twice. The team at TLC was great. They did a very thorough job of monitoring the healing of my eyes and worked hard to find a solution when my left eye healed with astigmatism the first time. (not their fault) Dr. Greiner did a particularly great job of keeping tabs on my cornea and putting me at ease about the second surgery which was slightly more complex and risky than the standard LASIK. Everything turned out perfectly thanks to her, Dr. Doyle, Jane, and the team.
60 min of stress in pre-​op, 10 min of intensity in surgery, a couple days of discomfort, and a couple months of eye drops. It (and some $) is a small price to pay for perfect vision.
