LasikPlus Vision Center

Surgery went well! I was super nervous for it but was only under the laser for less than 10 minutes. You cannot feel much of anything when they are actually doing the surgery. It was quick painless and easy! The staff is all super friendly & personable. Big shout out to Lisa, Sandra & Jesse who calmed my nerves and made me feel comfortable before and after the surgery! Dr. Horn was amazing chatting with all his patients one on one before all his surgeries and even gives his personal cell phone number out to patients to see how they are doing after they get home! From the free consultation to the day of surgery I knew I had chosen the right facility. I highly recommend this particular location for anyone, who is even considering getting Lasik, to go visit Lasik Plus in Oakbrook!

Dear Fashionable glasses, It wasn’t you it was me. I’m sorry but after about 20 years in coke bottle glasses, hard contacts and night & day contacts I can no longer commit. After turning 18 I started to explore Lasik with multiple companies. I wasn’t approved right away due to the rapid change in prescription but 8 years later I was finally able to proceed with the Lasik surgery and I’m beyond happy with my decision. I have visited the Schaumburg location years ago and was not at thrilled with the experience so fast forward to this month I tried the Oak Brook location and the entire staff was pleasant and handled my over protective dad. Jesse was easily accommodating regarding the pricing and Dr Horn was very calm, professional and comfortable to have the surgery with. Sandra was great as well when it came time to prep me for the surgery. I met with about 4 other staff from basic eye exams to financing and prepping and they were all delightful. I spent about the full 3 hours the day of surgery but it was a clean and comfortable office filled with lots of snack. After being –9.25 I am happily enjoying ²⁰⁄₂₅ vision. I highly recommenced this location and this procedure.

Getting LASIK was the best decision I’ve ever made! My eyes were too sensitive for contacts and I was tired of wearing glasses. I made an appointment for my free consultation and was able to have my LASIK performed by the next week. The staff is so friendly and answered every question I had. Dr Horn was very nice and even gives his patients his cell number to text after they wake up from their post surgery nap. I was able to see perfectly the same day and drive to my post op exam the next day. They offer financing and also take the care credit. There are multiple options to make the procedure affordable for everyone. I’m definitely recommending Dr Horn to everyone I know who has thought about LASIK.

Let me start with the BOTTOM LINE: LasikPlus is *top notch* all the way around. From my initial consultation to the actual surgery to the follow-​ups, they are tremendous. Dr. Horn and his team are professional, organized and I can’t say enough. If you are a candidate, get the surgery and get it here.
By the way, have you ever been browsing reviews and come across that single one-​star review out of 100+ that are predominantly four– and five-​star reviews? Chances are it is a single, solid paragraph with little or no punctuation and is extremely difficult to read. Just go ahead and throw that review out the window. I really don’t know how someone who writes that poorly is able to even register an account or Unilocal!or wherever. Or operate a computer. Or Smartphone. Or have a job or live in a house. ANYWAY.
THE DETAILS
I had my consultation in Naperville with Dr. Karina Nikogosian about six weeks before my surgery. She was great — very thorough and very easy to talk to. I left feeling that I was doing the right thing and that the procedure was going to be routine.
On the day of surgery, I had to meet with Dr. Simon to ensure that things still looked OK and that monovision was not the best option — which it wasn’t for me– since that had been talked about during my consultation. I knew was going on and what to expect … complete with a short video on how things were going to go in regard to the procedure.
Some more of the staff then saw me to a private room where I received some more instructions and the expectations were set for immediately following the surgery. Here too, everyone was very polite, professional and informative.
For the procedure itself, Dr. Horn escorted me to the lab and (this is where my memory starts to fade. I was on medication to relax me, you see) I’d estimate that I was there for around 8 minutes. Maybe less. There’s really nothing to fear; you lie down on a comfy table, a small ring goes around your eye, you see some lights, hear some noises and Dr. Horn’s voice, and that’s about it. You’re done. Your person then listens to a follow-​up on the post-​op care for your eyes (which you probably won’t remember) and then drives you home so that you can take yourself a tasty nap.
Just make sure you do what they tell you — you get a set of care instructions when you leave about not getting anything in your eyes like water, sweat, etc. Do the drops, medication, etc. as prescribed and you’ll be just fine. They make sure of that — again, wonderful staff that will help you with follow-​up visits, contacting the doctor, etc. They work to make it a very painless experience.
Kudos to them — now, go get you some LASIK!

I cannot possibly justify why I waited so long to do this. And after you finally decide to do it also (if you’re smart, you will, trust me, it’s just too logical), then you too will be kicking yourself for at least a full week after, for having procrastinated so long. There’s no downside, zip, nein, nein, nada. Eventually you’d otherwise spend more money on future eye care (glasses, contacts, exams, whatever), plan or no plan. Ok, never mind the money…
You’re just scared of… whatever it is that you’re scared of. You’re actually only scared of a nuisance. A nuisance is what you confront each time you go for your regular eye exam and they even do that little air puff test right on your eye. And that’s about as annoying as the Lasik procedure gets and feels. And when you walk out of the Lasik procedure you scream inside and yell to yourself «That’s IT? THAT’S what I was afraid of?». And THAT’S when you’ll start kicking yourself for having waited so long.
Remember, I just told you exactly how it’s going to transpire. Thanks to Oak Brook Lasik’s wonderful staff I now have to deal with bruises to my posterior from kicking myself. I guess I’ll stop eventually…
Oh, and monovision rocks!

I had Lasik many years ago and it was a great experience. I had some pain after (like having something in your eye if you wear contacts, 4 hours later perfect) I went from not being able to focus on anything more than 2 feet away to a 10 minute procedure that gave me beautiful vision. I had mono-​vision done so I never needed reading glasses either. It was what I considered a miracle. I can’t even explain enough what that did for my life.
I went back last week to have it tweaked and I had to have the PRK procedure on one eye. I was really scared of the pain coming after but I was amazed that it wasn’t that bad. I did what I was told to do and rested my eyes for 3 full days mostly keeping them in the dark, protected and taking my meds as directed. I go back in 2 days to have the protective lens taken off and that’s it.
I want to tell you that Dr. Horn is a wonderful, knowledgeable, caring Doctor. I trust him enough to tell everyone I know to go to him. He and his staff are amazing. The staff cares and makes sure you are well taken care of. They are very Knowledgeable of the process and everything that needs to be done before, during and after. The office is absolutely clean and very comfortable and there is a separate surgery room that is top of the line.

I had a very good experience here. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Most of the staff had already had the procedure so I knew when I asked questions that the staff was answering from first hand experience. Dr. Horn operated on both my parents so I felt like I was in safe hands. The actually procedure is painless, however go straight to bed afterwards. I hesitated a little bit and felt the pain. Had I gone straight to bed like the instructions said, I probably would have been fine. Nonetheless, no glasses or contacts is a great feeling. I highly recommend this place.

Initially I was so scared at the thought of doing this procedure but it was one of the easiest procedures I’ve ever gone through. The staff is so incredibly friendly and understanding of the anxiety people have walking into the procedure. They went out of their way to make me feel comfort and ease my anxiety along the way. It’s such a relief to go to bed and wake up every day without having to hassle with my contacts! I can’t believe I waited as long as I did.

I was extremely scared about even considering lasik plus. I have wore glasses and contacts since first grade so my vision is constantly worsening. I went to my free check and every single staff member was so helpful and nice. They do a lot of testing at the consultation but I did find out I had a slight astigmatism in my right eye which I have never knew about. My appointment for the surgery was scheduled for two weeks later. I was excited until I got to surgery do. That’s when the nerves started to work. Luckily for the medicine they gave you it did help a lot. During the actual procedure, dr horn kept checking me while doing it making sure I was still with him and okay and kept telling me every step he was doing. All the girls in the room with her did as well and we’re all so kind. I went home and took my nap, woke up and my vision was still a little fuzzy but I was starting to see more. I woke up today and there is not much blurriness and its like I woke up with contacts! I’m extremely excited to see how it gets better as the weeks go and defiantly will be writing another review later on.

I just had my procedure performed yesterday and my vision is nearly ²⁰⁄₂₀ today with minimal discomfort. So far I’m very pleased with the service and outcome!

A little over a week ago I decided it was time to do something about my vision. I did some research and decided to check out LasikPlus. Went online Tuesday and set a consultation/​exam appointment for Thursday. It took about 90 minutes just as they said. I was a perfect candidate for mono vision. One eye for distance, one eye for near. They scheduled my surgery for the next Tuesday.
My neighbor who had also had Lasik done by Dr. Horn drove me to my Tuesday surgery appointment. I was’t nervous a bit. I was actually very excited. It helped that I watched the provided videos and knew what to expect, so be sure to do that. They said I would be there for about an hour and a half to two hours on the day of the procedure and they were spot on. They have to prep you and re-​examine you before you go in surgery. I think the actual procedure only took about ten minutes if that. I was never in any pain at all. I only had a little discomfort during the procedure and on the ride home. I took my meds and all the drops just as they said and crashed for about 4 hours. I woke up and could already see so much better. I had no pain or discomfort what so ever. I kept up with the drops and the meds and went back to sleep for the night.
I woke up the next morning and except for the fact that I could see so clear I never would have know I had anything done to my eyes. No pain, no discomfort, no nothing. It was amazing! I drove myself to my morning follow up appointment and I couldn’t believe how clear I could see street signs and things off in the distance. The follow up exam showed I had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision with both my eyes together being they were mono vision. I could see the smallest letters on the chart, I could hardly see the largest letters they day before. I went to work after my appointment and it was great to be able to see everything so vividly. As they mention the lighting inside did have a slight haze around it and on the drive home at night lights did have a slight halo effect but this will go away over time.
I can’t say enough good things about LasikPlus. The whole staff was absolutely wonderful! They explain exactly what they are going to do and why. They made me feel so comfortable. For the few hours I spent in the office I am going to be able to see clearly for many, many years to come. This is probably one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life! I am planning on having the rest of my family get lasik from Dr. Horn over the next few years. They will love me for it.

So I finally took the plunge and got LASIK treatment. I did a fair amount of research (these are your only eyes, you owe it to yourself to do the research). I read from many sources about positive reviews of Dr. Horn and the staff there. Once I was convinced I wanted to move forward I scheduled my initial screening.
Initial screening took a little loner than I expected. I was at the facility for about an hour and a half, so plan accordingly. That went well. They provided a lot of information and answered my questions. We scheduled my procedure then and I opted for the waveform laser procedure (more expensive, but most advanced).
When I went in for the procedure the staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Horn was professional and with his experience (nearly 60,000 procedures performed) I had confidence in him, but was still a little nervous. The process proceeded smoothly. Drops in eyes to numb and prep for laser procedure. Several minutes later it’s done. One last check of eyes. Take some meds. Final review of next steps, follow ups, and meds schedule.
You need a driver post op, so I pretty much slept all the way home. As recommended and with the help of some Ambien I slept rest of day (procedure was done about 3pm) and night only waking for dinner (eyesight was already good, but definitely some halo. When I got up in the morning I could already see excellent. Dr. Horn texted to check on me, which I thought was a nice follow up touch.
Then I had follow up appointment mid-​morning. I drove myself and was pretty much thinking if this is the best my vision gets I am already highly satisfied. I did/​do have some halo, but it has lessened already. At this point it is relatively minor and is suppose to diminish and go away over time. At follow up that next morning my vision was ²⁰⁄₂₀ even though the expectation is sight will improve for several days as healing occurs especially when your vision was as bad as mine was.
It’s two days since procedure and I am extremely satisfied. I have been following all the post op steps in regards to drops and meds. I haven’t had a real issue with dry eye, but I am doing the artificial tears regularly so not giving it the chance to be a problem.
All in all extremely satisfied. As they say this is a transformative procedure. No glasses. No contacts. Wake up and can just see great. It is awesome.
UPDATE: Two months and all is good. Halo is virtually non-​existent. Have had no issue with dry eyes. Still a very satisfied customer.

I had my surgery done on Saturday and came in for my one day follow up today. My vision is better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ and my eye has healed as if it’s been two weeks! Dr. Horn is amazing and the procedure was quick and painless. The staff is great!

Dr Horn and his team are outstanding. The care and the service are great. The procedure was easy as was the follow up. I recommend them to anyone considering the procedure.

Dr. Horn plus the staff have been excellent and super friendly. The procedure was fast, easy and painless. Didn’t feel anything.
Most importantly, I can see ²⁰⁄₂₀ which is beyond awesome.
Thanks for everything LasikPlus. Couldn’t be happier with the results

I have been considering Lasik for years, what brought me in for a free consultation was an ad on the radio. Although the deal was for the lowest eye prescription and did NOT apply to me at all, as I had a high prescription of –5.5 and –4.75, I’m so glad I went. The team that does the free consultation are very friendly and have first hand experience with the procedure. Susan and Dr. Burgers were great, and see patients in Naperville which is closer to me! My heads up to everyone is no gym or makeup for a week after the procedure. My main concern was cost and Susan went through financing with me. So I set the date.
I got to the place early, as I was told the building was somewhat difficult to find. I figured out if you enter «LasikPlus Oakbrook» in maps versus the actual address, you will be taken to the correct location. While paying, I was told I should not work the next day as I work in health care, which I definitely was not planning. It worked out in the end, just found different opinions from different doctors that should probably be communicated. Then we waited for about 2 hours, which is probably the worst part. Dr. Horn was wonderful, explaining he hasn’t had any patients with an eye infection in a long time and wanted to keep it that way, hence why he didn’t want me to return to work the next day. I work with lots of doctors, and it is almost UNHEARD of for a doctor to give out their phone number and to text how you are doing or ANY questions afterwards! This is what impressed me the most with Dr. Horn, because that shows true compassion in my opinion. Procedure probably took less than 10 minutes total and was painless. Worst part was the smell, haha. Eyesight was instantly better, but blurry. They gave me an Ambien, I went home and slept and woke up feeling like I slept in my contacts! Vision was great, it was surreal!
I went to the follow up the next morning. I’m kind of bummed they didn’t tell me if I was ²⁰⁄₂₀ or what and that I didn’t ask! I think I am now, but will have to confirm at the 3 week follow up. You definitely should rest the day after. My eyes were very dry for about 2 days. It has now been a week and my eyes feel great! They only get dry when I wake up in the morning, easily fixed with artificial tears. Also some halos at night, but nothing I can’t tolerate. More than anything, I’m excited to go on vacations this year and not have to worry about contacts or glasses. Hope this review helped anyone considering, I’ve been telling everyone I see with glasses lately because I’m so glad I did it! Thank you, Dr. Horn!

Just had LASIK surgery done on Saturday to correct my nearsightedness and astigmatism and now I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision — wow! Dr. Horn and his team were extremely helpful and thorough through the entire process. I did my research and visited three different LASIK centers before selecting Lasikplus in Oakbrook and I am SO happy with my decision. I highly recommend them!

Im so dissapointed with this place that i cant even finish this review, i will explain quickly about what happen and then i will be adding to this review later, my wife was seen by their doctors which told her she is candidate for PRK surgery we went there three times while they tested and checked her eyesight out and all three times they insisted that she was a candidate for PRK well thats not what occurred on the day of the surgery, first of all i cant believe that the first two doctors didnt see or was taught to look for what the final surgeon needs to know and what he saw that he ended up saying the surgery couldnt be done, im not done with this review, please check back im to upset to continue…

I woke up in the middle of the night to a scratched cornea and dr horn responded quickly and help walk through each step to make me feel better, he even offered to have his team come in early to the office so that they could help me. He was texting me At 5 am and continued to check in– wonderful doctor who genuinely cares. This place goes above and beyond and has very friendly staff. I would recommend this as a go to place for lasik

Dr. Horn seems like a man who knows his Lasik. Completing over 50,000 procedures with awesome results from everything I read was assurance for me to go through with something that I’ve wanted to do for years. The idea of Lasik for someone who grew up with terrible (and I mean terrible) vision can be quite frankly something unfathomable. But rather than going through a long review (if you want details, you can message me about my experience) I’ll just point out my main observation.
Overall: You go into a room before surgery and ask any follow up questions that you may have with Dr. Horn. You then have the procedure done with him talking to you and explaining what you’re going to be seeing, hearing, smelling, etc. The actual procedure takes about 5 minutes and my vision went from me not being able to read size 100 font right in front of me without contacts/​glasses to being able to see details of the Doctor’s face immediately after surgery. There’s downtime of course with some blurriness and glaring, but it’s a cake walk compared to those who have had actual major surgery. Nothing hurt or was even remotely painful. The ONLY thing you feel are the clamps that hold your eyes open and it’s not a painful feeling; you just simply feel them. The vision keeps getting better with each passing day and the only thing you really have to worry about is not rubbing your eyes for a month.
The Consultation: Before surgery you go in to see if you even qualify for lasik. My only complaint is that at times I felt rushed. This clinic pushes out a lot of procedures and just the two times while I was there, I saw maybe 4 people have their lasik done in a matter of an hour. I didn’t like watching the lasik video on the Ipad in the middle of the waiting room with kids and parents talking loudly to each other nor did I like having the technician discussing the cost and later accepting my payment in front of everyone. I think they should have a small separate room that allows the patients to feel like every their having a more tailored experience for each individual versus having everyone hear what’s going on with your eyeballs.
5 stars for an outstanding result. I couldn’t recommend this place enough for those who are even considering Lasik. Come check it out. You won’t regret it.
