Lasik Vision Institute

Very odd conversation when setting up an appointment to come in for a consult.

Legally Blind Now in one eye. Told that I should be fine but immediately started having issues right after the surgery. The Doctor that actually does the surgery is not from Birmingham, he lives and practices out of Panama City, FL. He only comes to Birmingham every two weeks and does ALL of the surgeries during that time. It's like a cow mill. I Was sent to a Specialist in Atlanta GA, had to use the $100,000.00 eye drops Oxervate and still legally blind in one eye. Even Lost my job cause I could not see to do and the worst part of it, I never heard I'm sorry or even receive a refund. Now I have to wear a pair of contacts that cost over a Grand each year and the supplies that I have to buy monthly for them are very costly. I would honestly go to a specialist if you want Lasik instead of this "Eye Mill". They make you sign all of this paperwork that rules out any kind of suit if it goes bad. People really need to go see a specialist for this surgery. Just Saying.

All of the staff and doctors that work at this location are generous, professional, and are abiding by the CDC guidelines whenever possible. One little side note: bring something warm if you get cold easily. I usually enjoy cold, but its real cold in there. I'm talking my diamonds became diamond tipped drill.

I was told I qualified for LASIK despite my high prescription, I was assured that my corneal thickness was adequate to have LASIK done. I drove home from the beach early to have procedure, picked up all medications and arrived for my procedure only to be told that the surgeon didn’t want to do it because of my high prescription. I questioned this multiple times during the initial visit and sure enough, he reviewed my records just before I was due to have procedure done, I was already medicated, signed consent forms and sitting in waiting room drowsy from med, and was told they are refunding my money and can’t do it. Honestly I appreciate that he wouldn’t if he felt like there would not be a good outcome. But my chart should have been reviewed before my surgery date and then let me know before driving over an hour just to be sent back home. Everyone there was very professional and nice but this could have been handled differently.
