NVISION Eye Centers

I have been meaning to write this review for awhile. I was one of those people that never thought I would do Lasik — I mean, these are my eyes! But, after years of wearing glasses and getting tired of contacts that always bothered my sensitive eyes, I figured I would go in for a consultation. That is all it took! The very same day I booked my appointment and could not be happier with the results. I had the surgery in October and I can honestly say, it was quick, painless and I am very happy with my decision. I would highly recommend NVISION and if you are not sure, go in for the consultation! They are honest and will tell you whether or not you are a good candidate (my fiancé got a consultation and was not a good candidate but he wishes he was!). Thanks NVISION!

After over 15 + years of relying on glasses and contacts to see, I can use my own two eyes to see EVERYTHING!
I just got my LASIK done 1 week ago and I couldn’t be happier with NVISION! Dr. Lusby was kind, experienced, and talked me through the whole procedure to make sure everything went perfectly!
I want to let ANYONE and EVERYONE know that of you have any hesitation to please schedule a free consult with NVISION! The staff was professional, and more importantly helped me resolve any and every concern I had regarding my LASIK procedure!
NVISION may be the doctor’s number 1 choice, but now it is DEFINATELY mine! Thanks NVISION for allowing me to see with new eyes!

The staff and doctors at the Fullerton office of NVision Laser are exceedingly professional and friendly and will take out the time to discuss what ever is on your mind. You will meet Gabi who is very kind and professional and will discuss your procedures and care with you. Also Dr. Rude is extremely friendly and professional and will make sure that you have what you need before you leave that office! I was lucky to have my optometrist Dawn Miller refer me to an Nvision of Fullerton for the prospect of cataract surgery. Luckily I got Dr. Sheri Rowen as my surgeon and she has been extremely thorough and making sure that my cataract surgery went well and that my blepharitis (dry eye) was treated before I had the cataract surgery! And NVision Laser and Dr. Rowen are in the forefront of technology when it comes to cataract surgery. Lasers are used for incision and for blasting away the old cataract contrary to the older method used. So you can still opt for the older methods too. And Dr. Rude is extremely thorough and making sure that your surgery went well afterwards! As he is the attending doctor at the Fullerton clinic. I highly recommend using and Nvision laser in Fullerton for your cataract and laser surgery needs!

On October 6^th, I called Nvision to inquire about Lasik. On the 8^th I had my first consultation. On the 15^th I had my preop, and yesterday I had my surgery. Wow, NVision was incredible from start to finish.
You can tell how a business is run by the attitudes/​behavior of its staff — nothing but positive energy and well trained employees to guide you along the process. At my first consultation, they were able to tell me same day that I was a candidate for lasik. They are well equipped with some of the best technology available in the US (I did my research), and are very straight forward with everything.
Day of was a breeze, Dr. Lusby is, indeed, the man. I only decided to move forward with everything at NVision because of the amazing Unilocal reviews that i had read, so I’m just here to attest all the wonderful things about NVision/​Dr. Rude/Dr.Lusby/Lasik/Life.
Do it, there is no price to great vision — I was «not guaranteed» ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision on the liability forms (legal implications, very understandable). But today when I went in for my post opday check-​up, I have ²⁰⁄₁₀ vision with both eyes (²⁰⁄₁₅ individually)…so I guess you could say that I am happy/​satisfied/​ecstatic/​LIFEISAWESOME

Had my LASIK done over two years. Everyone here was awesome during my consultation, financing, and surgery. Also, post op examinations were pretty convenient. Don’t regret my decision to come here one bit. No issues with dry eyes or halo effects at night. They even took the time to do extra testing to make sure my corneas didn’t have any issue from being too thick and didn’t rush right into surgery.

The entire NVISION staff, Dr. Rowen and Dr Rude are excellent and beyond compare. I had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Rowen, and pre-​surgery and post surgery care by Dr Rude. I cannot express in words the wonderful care they provide, with expertise and knowledge in their field. I was an extremely challenging case, as I had RK many years ago. Dr. Rowen studied my individual, difficult case intensely, therefore I received excellent results. I would highly recommend NVISION, Dr. Rowen and Dr. Rude. I would also like to compliment Shannon and Gabriela, NVISION staff members, for the personal and complete care they provide to each and every patient. Thank you NVISION for my vision today.

I am two weeks post-​LASIK today and enjoying my new vision! I have to admit that I was very skeptical going into the procedure, but literally had to see it to believe it! I’d been wearing glasses since I was 11 and contacts since I was 20. I had astigmatism and was severely near-​sighted. I was able to see a difference immediately after the procedure and was seeing ²⁰⁄₁₅ the next morning! The staff at Nvision are very friendly. Dr Rude is the optometrist and he’s easy to talk to and ask questions. I’m so glad I went with Dr Lusby for LASIK. He did such a great job that at my one week post-​op appointment, my optometrist commented that I have the best results he’s seen in the last five years, and that if I were having an eye exam with another optometrist, he or she wouldn’t be able to tell I had just had LASIK. Dr Lusby does amazing work!
Nvision’s pricing is a bit higher than other places, but it’s so worth it. You don’t want to bargain shop for your vision! The surgery does not hurt (it really doesn’t!), and my recovery was so fast and easy. I haven’t experienced seeing any night halos or dry eye. The only thing I’ve noticed has been a few instances of light sensitivity. Before the procedure, stock up on Refresh eye drops as they want you to use them for 3 – 6 months following LASIK. Also, if you’re a vegetarian like I am and do not want to take fish oil supplements, there is vegan fish oil (vegetarian DHA) available at stores like Sprouts. I highly recommend Dr Lusby and Nvision! Yay, thank you for my new eyes! ^_^

I had my eyes checked two weeks ago to see if I can have KAMRA inlay.
I had RK back in ’93 and my vision is getting really bad .
They thoroughly checked my eyes and Dr. Lusby was right-​out honest .
He told me he wouldn’t do Lasik or PRK on me. And that I was not a candidate for KAMRA as well.
He is, instead, referring me to a surgeon who specializes in lens implant.
At a previous place I visited (the same surgeon in Laguna who performed my RK), they painted blue sky about Lasik. My former surgeon was again going to perform surgery on me (at over $ 3K) even though that might have really ruined my vision (I learned this after talking to my optometrists).

This place I can’t really say anything but amazing things about them. Starting with Ashley who is super friendly, she has a great personality an really lets you know what to expect for the get go… Dr. Rude now this guys cares about you as an individual. he Is professional, genuine and a fun person to chop it up with. he’s one smart dude and does his job vary well… Now on too Dr. Lusby (the man. The myth. The legend) I’ve heard a lot, I’ve also have read a lot about him. everything I have read about how good this guy is, is correct. I believe some people are gifted with and art form. you can be taught how to do certain things. but to be this good, caring and compassionate. I think there are vary few… I don’t think could have chosen a better person to have done my lasik I want too thank everybody there at nvision Fullerton. I know I have missed a few other names of people that have all helped me at that office I just want to say thank you all so vary much

I had cataract surgery last year. Even though I paid a significant premium to have a multi-​focal lens my vision isn’t totally clear. Street signs were never clear and sharp. They seemed to have a good plan to take care of any problems at the time. I now seem to have any issue with cloudiness. I have a problem reading print as it appears to be clouded over and hazy. Now they claim they only take care of any issues within 90 days of the surgery. One of the conditions that can occur is cells remaining from the removed lens can adhere to the remaining membrane and create an effect like lens clouding. They stated treating this was included in the cost of the procedure. It now appears this has to occur within 90 days or it becomes a new medical claim ie. not covered. Since I have a different med plan and they are not in network they didn’t want to see me. Save your money and find a practice that actually stands behind their work.
UPDATE. Went to another ophthalmologist for an evaluation and they found the membrane was clouded. It needed to be treated and they did the treatment since NVISION wouldn’t see me.

I had to recently get an enhancement done for my vision, as I had LASIK done in 2006, and my vision had regressed, mostly because I was young and had really poor vision when I had done it the first time. Back then, it was under TLC laser eye care centers. When I called TLC for an enhancement because of their lifetime guarantee/​warranty, I was referred to contact Dr. Rude and Lusby since they were not working for NVISION.
This review is for the Dr. Rude and Lusby, as they were the same doctors that administered my LASIK back in ’06. I went in for the consultation, and they looked the same as they did 10 years ago, so I recognized them immediately. Their demeanor was professional, and I felt completely comfortable with what needed to take place for my surgery to be successful. I scheduled my surgery 3 weeks out, and I was done, and here I am today, back to ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision and seeing awesome again. I’m thankful for this office and their wonderful staff and would highly recommend anyone considering LASIK to hear them out.

I have had such a great experience with nvision eye center in Fullerton. All of the receptionists, consultants, and Drs were fantastic. A few tips for those thinking of getting it done!
Make sure that your ride is someone that can stay during the procedure! This is so important. They place numbing drops in your eyes for the surgery and the drops wore off after about 30 minutes (surgery was complete) you want to be able to take your sleeping pill and go STRAIGHT to bed or it will be painful! Which leads me to my second tip:
Try to schedule an afternoon appt. I had my procedure scheduled for 145, got out of their at 315, and slept basically the whole night through. They give you two sleeping pills, but because I had my procedure later, I didn’t need the second one.
Take both Xanax. They give you one before, and ask if you want one after. I took the second one and I am glad I did because just one wasn’t really enough to settle my anxiety (it’s half a mg I believe)
Make sure to check and double check all times for your appts, the only thing I was not really 100% satisfied with was that Ashley told me to arrive at 1:45, while another receptionist the day before told me 1:15, and for pick up time I was told 2.5−3 hours total time there and I had to change my ride a few times because once I was there things went a lot faster than I was told (which was fantastic, don’t get me wrong!) but this is also why it is important to have someone that can just stay with you.
Dr. Lusby is great. Very precise and very calming. He explains the procedure to you in detail and helps you to relax. The entire process on the table was maybe 8 – 10 minutes, MAYBE!
After the first night I woke up in the morning and went into the restroom and when I looked in the mirror and could see better than I ever remember, I burst into tears! Best decision, I can tell you that right now!
I went to my follow up appt with my optometrist and he told me I now have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision!

Just had my 1 week post op. And seeing wonderful. Just like if I had my glasses. Surgery was quick and painless. Will never know why I waited so long to do this. Staff was amazing and professional. Ashley explained everything clearly and what to expect (she’s also a cutie) but that’s not why I went lol. I highly recommend DR. Lusby and Nvision

I absolutely loved this place!!! I woke up with new eyes… Dr. Lusby and Dr. Rude were very professional. Special thanks to Gabby (Patient Counselor), for assisting me in making one of my best life decisions. THANK YOU NVISION!!!

Went to an info night at my optometrist (Dr Winston) for nvision. I got to hear all about lasik and they ran some tests during the free consultation. I got a discount for signing up during this special night. They talk about payment options and care credit card etc.
I scheduled my day with a follow post op. I just complete that this morning. I’m seeing ²⁰⁄₂₀ and it’s just 12 hrs since Dr Lusby worked on my eyes.
Day of procedure: come in early. Park. Take elevator to top floor. Sign in. Go over forms. Pay. I got a mini exam to double check everything. Watch a video for instructions. Got a Xanax. Then waited in second room. Got more drops and a hair net. Put on my sweatshirt (started to get cold). Went in and laid down for like less than 10 min as my driver watched and recorded my lasik procedure. Got up took a pic with Dr Lusby. Took my post op swag bag and went home to sleep.
amazing when I woke up for dinner I was seeing very well. Then went back to bed and woke up up for day 1 post op check up and got great results. Super fast, expertly done, perfect results. Eyes will heal and only get better. Thanks to Dr Winston, Dr Rude, and of course Dr Lusby.

I got LASIK done here, and I loooove it!!! I always wanted to have LASIK done, but I was SO scared. I put off doing it for 5 years!!! I finally had the courage a year and a half ago, and it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself. Here was my experience in detail:
Ten days before the procedure, I started wearing my glasses to prepare my eyes for surgery. I also had to go back to my optometrist and get my eyes dilated. A week before the procedure, I started taking fish oil supplements and FreshKote eye drops 3x a day. Three days before the procedure, I started putting Prednisolone and Ofloxacin 3x a day also.
On the day of the surgery, they had me watch a video introducing Dr. Lusby talking about the procedure. Then I was called to get my prescription checked. After that, I went back into the lounge and waited again. The next time I was called, I was led into an examination room. The assistant explained how many times I had to put the 3 different types of eye drops for 2 weeks after the procedure. She also explained when to take the two sleeping pills they were providing the patients. An optometrist came and checked my eyes one last time with that type of equipment that has different lenses, and they ask you which is better #1 or #2 (while you look at the screen with letters). After the examination, the assistant gave me half of a Xanax to relax me. Dr. Lusby came in and introduced himself in person. He asked if we had any last-​minute questions. He was very kind and professional. I appreciated that he took the time to answer any concerns. Basically, the most important part was to stare straight into the green light no matter what. The assistant then brought me to a room where some other patients were waiting for their LASIK surgery. The assistant asked for my eyeglasses, and it was a weird feeling knowing it would be the last time I would wear them. She put drops in my eyes (I think numbing ones?). All we had to do was wait.
When my name was called, I started getting super nervous and scared again! They laid me down on this flat surface. The surgeon, Dr. Lusby, walked me through every single step. He put a ton more eye drops in my eyes. I don’t know which ones they were. Maybe more numbing ones and anesthetic ones? He focused on my right eye and did something to make it stay wide open. Then this machine was pressed into my right eye. I didn’t feel pain, but it was a lot of pressure. I almost felt like either my eye was being pushed into the back of my head or it was going to pop out! LOL! This was the only part I didn’t like. It only lasted 15 seconds. Thank goodness! Nobody else that I talked to that had LASIK seemed to mind this part. Like I said, it’s not that it was painful. It was just a weird pressure in my eye. Maybe it was just me being hyper sensitive to everything that was happening. By the way, that was the laser cutting the flap in my eye. This whole time I was staring into a green light. When the flap was made the green light faded away and it turned dark. I saw a few speckle of colors. Then when he lifted the flap, I saw the green light again, but it was a little more jumbled and all over the place. The laser went into my eyeball and lasered away. I smelled a burning smell, but it didn’t hurt one bit!!! After that, he put my flap down and did whatever else he did. It’s hard to remember everything because it all happened so fast. Then he went on to do my left eye. Same thing as he did with the right. I didn’t like the pressure again, but it was over really quickly.
After everything, he put these clear shields and sunglasses on my face and led me to this waiting area. I could already see a difference in my vision, although it was foggy. I think they gave me the other half of the Xanax at this time. We waited for my sister-​in-​law to get her LASIK done right after me. My eyes started to sting from waiting because the anesthesia was starting to wear off. My husband drove me home. I took an Advil and a sleeping pill and I went to bed from 2:30pm-8pm. When I woke up my eyes didn’t hurt at all. Then I ate dinner in bed and went to sleep again. I tried not to open my eyes very much so they could heal.
When I woke up, it was a miracle. I could see so clearly without contacts or glasses! I just kept thanking God because of my wonderful vision. During the day time, it was incredible. At night while driving though, I did notice halos around oncoming traffic car headlights. The first night I saw it it bothered me, but it went away after about 2 months. There were also random times when one eye would get blurry but it was only because it was still healing. I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision! I absolutely LOVE that I don’t have to wear contacts or glasses anymore. I am thankful every day for my LASIK surgery and the results. A year and a half later, I’m still loving the decision I made with getting my LASIK done through NVISION and Dr. Lusby. I hope my review helped. Good luck with your decision!

I was really nervous about having Lasik done but everyone at Nvision in Fullerton put my fears to rest. Dr. Lusby and his staff are wonderful and so very kind and sweet. So glad I went here! If you are considering Lasik come to Nvision in Fullerton! They are the best! =)

I had thought about doing Lasik for many years and even went to the Torrance location for a test, but decided to do it with Dr. Lusby. The process was smooth from start to end, it was a lot faster than expected.
The healing process has been very fast and I will recommend everyone to go here and get it done.

Just had my 1 week post-​op appointment this morning. My eyes are healing wonderfully. What a fantastic location! I couldn’t be happier with my experience here at NVision. Every member of the staff is wonderful. From the front desk, to the prep appointments and pre-​op prep, to the operating room, everyone here is so professional, kind and gentle. I came her on a recommendation and almost ended up somewhere else. I’m so glad I asked around before I booked my appointment or I would’ve had far less to rave about, I’m sure of it.
When you walk in it is quickly that you see how professional the office is. Everything is top-​notch. All equipment is SUPER clean and in great condition. All my questions were answered even as I came up with more the day of. I would recommend this place to everyone that is interested in LASIK.

I definitely recommend coming here if you are considering lasik. Dr. Lusby and his staff are great! April who works the front desk was very responsive to all my questions and was incredibly sweet when I met her. Dr. Lusby is gentle, professional, and kind. I knew I was in good hands the second I met him. Procedure takes about 10 minutes and no pain at all. I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision now. They have payment plans available too.
