The LASIK Center at Eye-Q

I just had my IntraLasik surgery on Thursday, today is Saturday. I wanted to share my experience. Overall, I am very happy I went with Dr. Walker for my surgery and am already seeing pretty close to perfect. It is truly amazing!
Some tips for surgery day; Dress warm! The surgery room is cold. Bring a hair tie with you if you have long hair because they’ll be putting your hair in a doctors net/​cap. Also, my eyes were very light sensitive after. They’ll give you sunglasses but I’d recommend also bringing a hat to shade your eyes. You will need a driver. Don’t make plans after; just go home and rest in a dark room till your eyes adjust to light again.
Initially when I arrived on surgery day, I was nervous as expected. His staff chatted with me for a while to make me feel comfortable then took me to my room where I was given 2 Advil and a Valium for my nerves. She also handed me a cute little moose animal that I could hold during surgery to keep my hands distracted. My husband was able to sit in the room with me while we waited for my surgery.
Walking in the surgery room, without your glasses, you’ll see 2 beds. One for the eye suction portion and another for actual LASIK. I first went to the suction table. I was given a few eye drops and a very warm blanket to keep me warm. Then Dr. Walker placed a small metal device in my lids to keep my eye open. I don’t remember what happen next other than feeling very disoriented and wanting to close my eyes — but I could only close one due to the device holding my eye open. I was then placed under the auction device for several seconds, felt the suction and heard them count down for me so I knew how much longer I had. When that eye was complete, the device was removed from my right eye and it was on to the left eye for the same thing. The nurse held my hand to keep me calm and they talked to me the whole way through which reminded me I was okay. This process lasted maybe 3 – 4 minutes altogether. I felt no pain at all.
After this, my vision was really blurry due to the small bubbles the suction creates on your eyes. I was helped over to the LASIK bed to lay down for the next part. I was given my warm blanket again, and eye numbing drops. One eye was given a pirate patch and the other was given the metal eye lid opening device to keep me from blinking.
I was asked to focus on the small green light, and had a solution poured in my eye. Then my cornea flap was opened. Again, not feeling any pain. Just distorted vision. Once my vision was no longer distorted I was again asked to keep focus on the green light. Then it began. I could hear the laser beeming away and smell the burning. I’ve heard of people holding their breath during this part, but it’s not that bad. I just remember seeing a series of green and red flashing lights. Dr. Walker talked to me throughout to let me know what was happening and how much longer I had. Within a few seconds everything was clear and that eye was done! He then went over my eye with two small white brush looking things — you can see it all. And then it was on to the next eye.
After the procedure I was escorted to my room where Dr. Walker checked my eyes before heading home. All was good! My vision was a little blurry as expected, but I was able to see better than before without glasses.
Leaving the office I was light sensitive, but pain free. I went home to try and nap. I did have a slight burning sensation in my eyes that caused them to water up for about the first 2 hours. I compare it to the feeling you get just before you have to sneeze and your eyes water up, in addition to being light sensitive. That went away after about 2 – 3 hours.
That evening I walked around the house and was amazed that I was actually able to see! My eyes felt some discomfort, but nothing that required me to take any pain meds.
The next morning my vision was at ²⁰⁄₂₀ in one eye and ²⁰⁄₂₅ in the other. I’m excited to see what it will be next week!
All in all, had I known what I was going to go through every step of the way, I would still do it again. It was quick and painless, beyond worth the results I am seeing today. The worst of it was the distorted vision — but that passes pretty quickly and it doesn’t hurt.
I highly recommend Dr. Walker and his staff. They made me feel comfortable and cared for from day one of my consultation. I really appreciated that he spoke to me throughout my surgery so I knew what was going on. It really helped keep me calm.
Thank you Dr. Walker, Kristen and staff!

I recently had LASIK eye surgery and it was a great experience. Like many people I was terrified at the thought of eye surgery. The entire process from the initial consultation, pre-​op, surgery and post-​op was seamless and comfortable. The consultation was very thorough and reassuring. During the surgery, Dr. Walker and his staff were very supportive and informative through the whole experience. I also received a follow up call from Dr. Walker that evening to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. I have never had a Doctor follow up with me before which was pretty impressive. I can’t stress enough how satisfied and pleased I am with this experience and I would definitely recommend EYE-​Q LASIK to anyone that is interested in having this procedure.

My husband recently had LASIK with Dr. Walker and it was a truly wonderful experience. I was a little nervous about the surgery but Dr. Walker and his staff were so professional and reassuring that it completely put my mind at ease. I was really impressed with how quick and painless they were able to make procedure and how speedy the recovery was. Not only was there hardly any down time but he was seeing ²⁰⁄₁₅ by the next morning! I would recommend Dr. Walker and the LASIK Center at EyeQ to anyone considering this procedure!

The LASIK center was like a day spa… a day spa where your eyes are massaged into awesome mode!
I did a consult with Dr. Walker and he said I was candidate for LASIK. I scheduled an appointment for a few weeks later and after 15 minutes of surgery and a little bit of rest, I was able to see ²⁰⁄₁₅ in both eyes. My vision was ²⁰⁄₁₀₀ in my right eye and ²⁰⁄₅₀ in my left eye. I am amazed at how well the surgery went and how quick the recovery was. If you are able to get LASIK, you should and you should get it done at EYE Q. I cannot say enough about Dr. Walker and his staff.
