The LASIK Vision Institute

I cannot say enough good things about this place!
I never write reviews but I had such a great experience that I feel like I have to! ;)
I went in for my initial consultation on Saturday 1÷9÷16. I was seen right at my appointment time and they did scans to see if I qualified for the surgery. The staff was very welcoming and friendly.
They let me know that I qualified :) yay! So then I was sent back in to the waiting room. Then I was called in to another room to discuss financials. Let me just inform you that they were very clear from the get go as to how much the surgery costs. However, the promotion drops the price significantly if you have the procedure within a certain amount of time. I opted to have it done right away! I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 15, and I was ready to get it over with! I then was sent back to the waiting room to wait to complete my pre-​op consult. The dr was very nice and made sure to answer all of my questions. He let me know that I was borderline between lasik and PRK. I chose lasik :)
I scheduled my surgery the Wednesday right after, which was 1÷13÷16. On the day of surgery, I showed up a few minutes early. The staff calmed me down and kept assuring me there was nothing to be worried about, and they were so right! I signed in, they saw me in less than 5 minutes to run the scans again and make sure everything was perfect. (Which is great because it’s your vision we’re talking about! Lol) then I waited in a room for the surgeon who explained to procedure before sending me to the waiting room in the back that is next to the operating room.
I laid down on the operating table (the room is freezing by the way, so take a jacket!) and conveniently enough the song that played right before the surgeon walked in was «I can see clearly now the rain is gone» lol.
The surgery was quick and painless. You feel some pressure from the clamp that keeps your eye open but nothing you can’t handle. The surgery itself can be described as looking at colors in a kaleidoscope. Just focus on the green light and try not to move. 2 seconds go by and «hey we are done with your right eye, now on to the left». The same was repeated and I’m walking out of there just fine.
My post op exam was yesterday during my lunch break & everything went perfectly :) I have another follow up in 10 days and things are looking clearer than ever! :) so happy I decided to do this :) :) :)

My husband called in and said he saw a groupon price for lasik could he schedule a consult. They let him know the groupon deal was for a specific location only. He apologized for his misunderstanding, thanked them and said he’ll call the other location. They then hurried to say «but we’ll honor the price for you.» Consult gets scheduled.
He comes in for a consult they told him would take about an hour. He was there for about two. They go over pricing explaning their bronze, silver and gold packages. My husband goes on to accept the gold package for the lifetime warranty (doubling the price of the groupon «discount»). Pre-​ops get done. Date for lasik scheduled on Aug 29.
Surprise! There’s a hurricane heading close to Miami and due to his job he must be on call. Meaning he can’t go for surgery this weekend. He calls them to reschedule. The employee who answered was rude immediately then goes on to say he needs to pick a reschedule date ASAP bc his price is only good for August. Something that was never explained to him beforehand so he tells them in that case cancel it completely. He receives a call back from their «manager» to go over why he’s cancelling. He explained his work dilemma, the rudeness of their receptionist and how he was never informed of an expiring price. The manager goes on to say well bc your price and pre ops are only good for one month and due to your specific eye issues this price is unique and they can’t go over the 30 days. My husband then explains if this is true he came in August 10 giving him until September 10 and btw he was given the quoted price before any exam was performed so yeah his «eye issues» weren’t an issue then.
These people need tremendous training in customer service and I’m surprised they have any patients at all with the way they treat people. Good luck staying open in this location. Many other choices out there. Stay away from this location if you choose to use this chain.

Two months ago, I underwent laser vision correction at this center and words cannot express how happy I am with the procedure. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, caring and professional. This was by far one of the best decision I’ve made in my life. Highly recommend The Lasik Vision Institute and Qualsight LASIK they made what could have been a scary process turn into a great experience!

Getting LASIK was the scariest, most horrific experience of my life! That being said, it was the best decision I’ve ever made!
A month in and I can see!!! Buildings, signs and people no longer blur together. It’s like wearing HD goggles all day, everyday! Again the procedure is beyond frightening but do yourself a favor, don’t Google the details, don’t pass by the surgery room before you go in, and ask for valium! It will all be over soon!
The surgeon, Dr. Insler isn’t quite warm and friendly. Don’t expect him to comfort you with soothing words… more like stern warnings to «calm down and stop moving» but in all fairness he is lasering your eye ball. Movement is a bad thing! After the procedure Dr. Insler helped me up from the table and did my post-​op exam himself: tear: (he really does like me).
Again horrifying procedure but terrific center with great staff and GREAT pricing! Two thumbs up!

I had my Lasik done here in July 2012 and had a great experience. I called in because my financing changed out of nowhere this year and the Manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. The management just changed a few months ago and many of the good employees who used to work here no longer do. This place has turned their back on me and I would not recommend it to anyone.

I had laser vision correction in this center is great the staff very professional and assuring enough to convince me to have the surgery done and it was the best decision i have made. i highly recommend this location.

After reading about this place and their special of $ 299, ha ha which is a joke to get you in the door. Of course I knew better and realized there was no way I would get each eye done for $ 299. My entire family have been interested in getting lasik and we thought hey let’s go get a consultation and hopefully a good deal for the three of us.
We made our appointments and could not wait to go and see what happens. The lobby is quite large and so is the center. The receptionist was friendly enough, we waited shortly and then was taken to watch a video in the back lobby. Cool video that is informative on the procedure.
About ten minutes later a guy came and got us took us into a room and did a quick 20 second electronic test with a machine. A report printed out then we were taken to another office… dun dun dun… and this was the financial office. At this point I felt like cattle ready to get SLAUGHTERED. This is exactly how we were treated.
So, the same guy started informing each one of us on the cost of our lasik. Not a simple dollar amount. If you want this the price is this, or you can choose this option which would be better for your particular eye’s and it is this much. He went on to tell my husband he has very bad astigmatism in each eye. Really, interesting seeing how his regular optometrist has never seen astigmatism. The cost was ridiculous, and when my husband inquired about a better deal for all three of us, what a real joke, sure the price dropped a bit, a laughable bit.
The guy helping us did not seem to care either way if we chose to have it done or not. Obviously they work on bulk clients and well bottom line I will not be one.
Heck, everyone is in business to make money, just not in this way.
Thank you for helping me get really turned off on the entire procedure.

Had LASIK done in their Kendall office a few months ago and the staff is awesome. I went in on a Monday for the consultation and the following Thursday I was already scheduled for surgery. My prescription used to be –6.25 in each eye and for those of you who know what that means it is a lot! They have many different finance options and are very affordable. The procedure it self was a little bit uncomfortable but very quick and well worth it! I would definitely do it again-​I just regret not doing it earlier. If you have any further questions message me-​All together this is the place to go if you need to have this done.
