I’ve been toying with the idea of having LASIK for the past 3 years. My sister had it done last year at the Pacific Vision Institute and was very happy with the result. I read everything I could find on the web about LASIK, and Dr. Faktorovich consistently came up as the top choice. Finally, I asked my eye doctor, and he recommended Pacific Vision as well. I had Lasik there 1.5 month ago and my vision is AWESOME! I was very nearsighted and had astigmatism. Without my glasses I was toast. Now I’m amazed at the level of detail I see. I never saw it all in my glasses. The staff are very knowlegible and friendly. Even the girls at the front desk (BTW: all very cute) can answer majority of questions you might have. The doctor is very experienced and definitely knows her stuff. She made me feel completely at ease and it all made sense when she explained it. The surgery was very quick. It is BLADELESS! One of the things that were scaring me before was the use of a blade to make a flap. These people have been using a laser to do that part for a number of years now. In fact, all their equipment is top notch. When you go into their testing and procedure rooms it’s like something out of sci-fi movie. During procedure I had no pain of any sort. I felt a little pressure on my eyes at one point, but that only lasted a few seconds. When I got off the table I could already tell that the surgery worked. That night I went to the movies with friends and I could see everything! Thank you Dr. Faktorovich, you ROCK! My new eagle eyes are incredible!
Pros: Everything in this place is top notch
Cons: Cost corresponds to the quality of service... :)
