Global Eye and Laser Center

Best decision ever. Had my lasik done yesterday with my sister and today we are ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision. Everyone was extremely nice and professional. Dr. Melikian and another Dr (sorry don’t remember his name) were great and phenomenal at what they do. Only regret was that we didn’t get it done sooner!

I was very comfortable with the staff made me feel safe explained every step of the procedure. Answered all questions that I had very patient with me. The actual eye surgery was very easy and quick. The doctors were very nice and explained every step. Didnt feel a thing which was a major concern of mine. I think I was in the actual surgery room less then 10 minutes!!! Next day I woke up and I could see!!! I have recommended global to my friends and family. The has really changed my life for the better no more reaching for my glasses in the morning to see I just get up and go!!!

If I could give 100 stars I would! Best money I have ever spent. Everyone was so incredibly nice to me and super professional. I was very scared and the doctors talked me through everything so I didn’t feel alone the entire surgery process. Plus they gave me Valium and Xanax so I slept through most of the discomfort. The next morning I felt like a million bucks! Its been 3 days and I can’t stop smiling. Thank you so much!!! Xoxo P. S. They give you cookies in the waiting room

I have better than 2020 thanks to these guys. I had an awesome experience and I’m not longer blind so definitely worth it.

Best decision I have ever made.
Quick procedure and amazing staff.
I wish I got this procedure years ago!

I was a little bit scared thinking about the lasik surgery, but I was also tired to wear my glasses or contact lenses especially because I trashed so many since the only one I could use were the daily. So I’ve researched online which studio could be the right one and believe me I couldn’t be more happier than now! I chose for sure the best one! The staff is really professional and prepared, they tell you in detail which is the best solution for your eyes and also they prepare you very well before the procedure. You are going to know exactly what is going to be. The day of the surgery Dr. Tamar and Dr. Arbi were super friendly and they make me feel relaxed at 100% Also during the surgery, which in my case was maybe less than 10 minutes, they tell you exactly what they are doing step by step, so by the time that you maybe realize that… you are done! I definitely recommend the Global Eye and Laser Center, and if you live close to LA they have also studio where you can go to do a check up. I did already twice and my vision is perfect!
Thank you to all the staff and doctors for helping me, this was the best decision of my life!

I was hesitant about buying a groupon for something so important as my vision but from the moment I walked through the door, It was proven that I made the right decision! All staff are very friendly and the Doctor’s bedside manner couldn’t be better. The actual procedure is quick with no surprises because the staff is excellent about educating on what to expect. I am 2 months out and I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision! My boyfriend is planning on going to the same place because he saw my entire experience. Just awesome!

It has been six weeks since I had lasik done at the Global Eye and Laser Center and I couldn’t be happier! I live in downtown LA, so I had my initial consultation and follow-​up appointments at their office near the Grove (Market Optometrix)… which was super convenient. The procedure itself was done at their main office in Huntington Beach; they scheduled mine on a Friday evening so that I could go straight to bed afterwards.
While I was at the office for about two hours (there are some eye mappings/​drops etc that need to be done), the procedure itself only took about five minutes… it was incredible! Dr. Melikian and Dr. Yaghouti talked through every step so I was aware of what was going on. It was completely painless and was actually exciting to be awake for it! Afterwards, I was sent home with some pain meds and eye drops and told to go to bed… the next day I woke up and was able to see! While it’s normal to have some fuzziness, I couldn’t believe how clear my vision was less than 12 hours later.
In the following weeks, I’ve seen Dr. Melikian twice for routine check-​ups… I have had zero complaints with the healing process; I have experienced absolutely no pain… only mild dryness when sitting at the computer and some halos during the night (both of which are normal).
Overall, I was very impressed with the customer service at the Global Eye and Laser Center… they have been extremely responsive to all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable with making the decision to get lasik. My boyfriend was with me for the whole process and was also so impressed that he has decided to get the procedure done himself!

It has been almost a month since I have my lasik
sight now is ²⁰⁄₂₀ and no side effect like redness or itchy at all. I would definite recommend this clinic to those who are struggling with contact lense or glasses. Or if you play sport and diagnose with nearsighted and can’t not recognize your teammate like me. I would urge you to come see dr Arbi Melikian to have a free consultation with him and his friendly assistance.

Just had my 2^nd annual lasik post op follow up! I love my ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision! Dr. Melikian and the staff are very friendly and professional!

I can’t say enough about Dr. Melikian and his entire staff! From the moment you enter, the team greets you with the brightest smiles & truly make you feel welcomed & cared for!
I’ve only seen Dr. Melikian for my yearly eye exams and each time he has taken the time to answer all my questions and calm my concerns about my precious eyes, lol!
I highly recommend Global Eye & Laser Center to anyone looking for an amazing O.D.
Thank you Dr. Melikian for all you do!

UPDATE! He’s ²⁰⁄₁₅ now, after his check-​up. Thanks again! :)

Loved coming here for my LASIK surgery! The staff was so friendly and the doctor was great. Pre and post surgery care was excellent.
I was referred here by my uncle and the results were so great I referred my brother.

It’s been two weeks since I had my LASIK procedure done (surgery date 10÷10÷15), and I can see better than I’ve ever been able to in 15 years without glasses or contacts! My vision was actually pretty clear already the day after surgery, and it’s just gotten better and better.
The actual surgery took probably 10 minutes, was painless, and the doctors always told me what to expect during the procedure. Recovery has been a breeze as well! I had initial dryness the first week but that’s all but gone now.
The initial consultation was the most pleasant out of all the ones I did. They gave me more than enough information to make an informed decision about which procedure I should go with. The decision to have my procedure done at Global was a very easy one to make as well. The staff is genuine, and I never felt like a number to them. I’ve also never has to wait longer than 15 minutes to get started with any consultation, follow-​up, or doing the actual procedure.
Thank you, Global Eye and Laser Center, for helping me achieve this life-​changer!

I got my eye servers done a week and a half ago and I have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. I convinced my mom to do it with me. The doctors and staff are extremely informative and friendly. They made everything a breeze. We had checkups in LA since we live there, but for the actual laser we received that in Hunington. I can’t stress enough how nice and patient the staff is.
It’s also a super fast thing. We did it late in the evening so we could just go to bed after. In the morning I could see perfectly! I am so happy with my choice of coming here

I had Lasik procedure here at Global Eye & Laser for near sighted ness at the end of September 2015, along w my daughter.
The staff is ultra friendly and will answer ALL your questions — any you can think of and for as long as it takes with immense patience, professionalism and friendliness.
Numerous eye tests were done prior to the procedure. I needed extra tests for my eyes which were thorough and all incisive in the price — no hidden fees, including tax: the price is the price.
The night of the procedure (at night so it’s easy to go right to sleep) is another opportunity to get your Q’s answered. The procedure is so fast — 10 minutes: but the laser itself was 25 seconds.
No pain during the surgery. You stay wide awake with your eyes numbed completely. I chose none of the optional medications or ibuprofen.
There was sensation & discomfort after for a few hours but it was definitely bearable and by the morning when I awoke, I could see and no discomfort.
My vision is now better than the vision I had with corrective lenses!
Follow up care is very thorough and included with many follow ups throughout the year.
My daughter and I are both extremely pleased with the care and mastery of Global Eye & Laser.

I was tentative about getting surgery on my eyes for a long time, I finally got the courage to get it done. I was concerned about the cost but the staff here helped me find a price that could fit my budget. I now have better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision and I could not be happier.
I was really exited after I got the procedure, going to bed not having to take my contacts out every night was a great feeling. It doesn’t sound like a lot of time, but the hassle and the discomfort of lenses is just a pain. I ended up wearing my glasses for the longest time.
The price of contacts, glasses, contact check ups and vision tests is just so high. I know lasik is expensive but you will be saving yourself money in the long run. Let alone the time and energy of poor vision. You know it is going to be hard to find glasses when the zombies come, why not have a head start! :D
Seriously it was a great experience and the staff at this place are top notch, they remember who you are and the look after you really well, the doctors are great as well! The surgery was a little scary, until you get into the room. Once the procedure starts the doctors put you at ease, they talk you trough everything so there is no surprises. It was a great experience and I cannot recommend it more.
If you are still wearing glasses or lenses, stop!

I just want to say that I’m very satisfied with Global Eye & Laser Center! I had Lasik done on August 2015. I don’t normally write reviews but felt that I have to for this place.
The doctors and staff were incredible!!! The service was top notch!!! I would definitely recommend Global Eye & Laser Center to anyone who is thinking about having Lasik done.

4 years ago, I bought a Groupon for LASIK. YES, A GROUPON!
I know, I know… you went discount on your eyes!!!
Think of it rationally from a business perspective. I did some research on this business and they won awards and had excellent reviews. So, was this business really going to do a half ass job on my eyes because of the Groupon and risk damaging their impeccable reputation? I don’t think so. And yes, evidently that was a risk I was willing to take.
But guess what? After doing a preliminary check up, they deemed that I was not a suitable candidate due to certain potential risks that were particular to myself. The doctor said that technically he COULD do the operation and while I was a –7 at the time, I would be absolutely thrilled with the results, he could not in good faith follow through with the operation because he was not confident about what might happen with my vision a few years down the line due to some discrepancies in my initial eye appointment.
Well I was bummed of course, but I immediately fell in such awe of the ethical responsibility this establishment had for not running off with my money at any chance they could. They had Groupon refund me and told me to wait a year to see if my condition changes and then to come back and see them if I decided I still wanted to do it, and they would honor the Groupon discount still. Seriously, how cool is that?!?
So, fast forward a year later, I went straight back to them and asked for another check up. Everything cleared and I was ready to go! They recommended PRK for me and before I knew it, I went from a –7 to ²⁰⁄₁₅! 3 years later, I couldn’t be happier with the results!
BEST GROUPON I EVER BOUGHT, FOR SURE!!!
