I FEEL LIKE I’M DREAMING
I haven’t gotten my surgery so I’ll have to update this on Thursday and Friday, but so far so good.
Finding the place and the parking area was easy because they gave detailed directions in their confirmation e-mail. I appreciated this bc I hate looking for parking and they even suggested making a small purchase at Coffee Bean to get parking validated. Small price to pay considering parking is $3/15 min.
Sepi was super friendly, on the phone and in person. She suggested filling out their forms online so I only had a couple of things to read and sign when I got there.
The wait wasn’t too long and they had plenty of magazines and chocolates to keep you occupied, which I loved considering I forgot to bring my book and I have a sweet tooth.
Dave, Dr. Wallace, and Dr. Graham all checked my eyes out. Quick and painless. They also kept up a pretty good conversation and made me feel at ease. They made sure I was well informed on the procedure so now, instead of being nervous, I am super excited.
Scheduling it was easy. They dilated my eyes the same day and I was scheduled for the surgery next month but because I was so excited, I decided to move the procedure up to this week (a week after my consultation). That was made possible by their awesome payment plan which allows me to pay the surgery off interest-free within 2 years. Considering the procedure is pretty cheap for such a high tech and complicated one, it is still affordable and doable.
I definitely recommend this place and cannot wait to be able to see w/o my glasses/contacts!
Update!
I can see! I’m still so amazed!
The day of the surgery, I was so excited and anxious, but everything was so quick and painless! They checked my eyes again, then gave me some eye drops and put me in a comfortable waiting room where I got to sit on a massage chair and chill. I’ve never even had the opportunity to do that in any doctor’s office so that was pretty cool.
In the surgery room, I thought I’d be cold but they put this huge warm comfortable blanket on you. The process was so easy! You just lay there and follow directions, half of which was just staring into a green light for 27 secs. And they gave me a stuffed bunny to hold on to! That was very nice because I was slightly nervous lol After that, I was pretty much able to start seeing already. I even went out to dinner and happy hour later that evening and celebrated with my friends!
The morning after was probably the most amazing morning I’ve ever had in life. I’ve always had terrible eye vision but that Friday morning, I opened my eyes and for the first time, I was able to see clearly with no need for glasses or contacts. It was life-changing!
The follow-up that morning was also quick and simple as well. I got there at 8:45 on the dot and it literally only took 15 min. A quick check to make sure my eyes were working properly and I was done!
I honestly cannot say enough about how thankful I am to everyone at LA Sight. Sometimes, I feel like I’m dreaming and all this is too good to be true!
Super long review, but this place is so worth it!
Thank you Sepi, Dave, Dr. Graham, Dr. Wallace, and everyone else!
