Provided by DexKnowsI had thought about having lasik surgery for a long time, but never went for a consultation. At a home show I stopped and talked to Holly from Crown Vision. She suggested making an appointment to see them. I did...and I am so glad! I had my lasik in December, and am now seeing great. My vision is 20/15. Everyone at the Crown Lasik Center was so nice. They make the whole process so easy and pleasant.
The people at Crown Laser Center were amazing. They make you feel very comfortable and are very helpful when you have questions. I left with 20/20 vision. I wish I would have had the surgery sooner. Thanks so much Crown.
My vision before surgery was 20/400. My vision after surgery is now 20/10! That's better than perfect. It was unfortunate that I did not qualify for standard Lasik, but I was able to have the procedure called PRK, so there were other options for people like me with really bad eyes. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because with PRK the recovery time is longer than with standard Lasik and I felt when I was given the instructions prior to surgery for recovery time it was not accurate. It took 7-10 days longer than I was told and so I was not prepared for that and had not taken enough time off work. It definitely was worth it, but if you are told you are having PRK, make sure to have at least 1 week off work because it takes awhile for your vision to get good enough to see to drive and do most jobs.
Had my surgery done January of 2010. I had to have the PRK surgery which takes longer to heal but it has been worth it! Love my vision although I now have to wear reading glasses (age related!) I purchased the insurance just in case I ever need a touch-up. I would definitely recommend doing that. Waiting for my son to be old enough to have his done!
I had my lasik done in March with a couple of hiccups but would not change a thing. The doctors monitored me with no additional cost and now i have 20/20 vision. Well worth not having to remember to take out my contacts after a late night or needing to wear glasses all day. I recommend Crown Laser Center and their staff everytime!! Well worth the money!

The best thing I have ever done for myself!!! I would reccomend everyone to Crown. I was treated like they had known me forever. They were so nice and helpful. I was so scared before my consultation and they answered all my questions and eased my mind. It was so fast and very easy recovery.
You can tell that Crown Laser Center are pro's because they can walk you through every step of the LASIK process and tell you exactly what you'll experience at each step! Dr. Clever did my procedure and I had no pain and 20/15 vision the next morning! So excited to see better than I ever have before!

Provided by DexKnowsOh, and BTW. I received Lasik almost 6 months ago. Without my contacts bothering me now and then, I can see better then ever. 20/15 vision is great. I am extremely happy with the results and like what most people have said. "My only regret is that I didn't have it done sooner."

Provided by DexKnowsI started needing glasses for distance when I was in the 4th grade. My vision gradually got worse each year. Before I started High School I changed to contacts. I thought, "This is way better then wearing those darn glasses". Especially since I played sports. For the next 18 yrs I wore contacts. Putting them in every morning & taking them out every night before bed. If I fell asleep in them, I would wake up with them dry & have even lost a few now and then. For years I wanted to get Lasik, but never had the money to do it. Once I got my finances together & was able to afford the payments, I jumped on the opportunity. Every staff person that was involved in the process was amazing. From the doctor & store manager at my Tesson Ferry office, to the doctors & office assistants at the Laser Center on Olive Blvd. I was treated with the best care. With their confidence & knowledge, they made it comforting to know I made the right decision. I would recommend everyone who can, to get Lasik.

Provided by DexKnowsIf you want professionalism in addition to individual personal care, Crown Laser center should be the place to go if you're considering LASIK eye surgery. From my pre-op screening to my post0op appointments, my experience has been phenomenal. My results are 20/15(better than 20/20)Corey

Provided by DexKnowsI've worn contact lenses for over 30 years and didn't consider it much of a hassle. When my Crown doctor suggested Lasik it planted the thought in my head of how nice it would be to not have to worry about contacts, solutions and etc. One month after Lasik I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming!! My vision is sharper than ever, there's no contact lens hassle and my only regret is not having done it sooner. The Crown Laser Center staff was comforting and extremely experienced. They talked me through procedure, which was surreal, but painless. The Xanax and teddy bear seemed to help a little too. The follow-up instructions were clear and helpful. Crown Laser was also the most affordable option of the Lasik centers I researched. I'm thrilled I choose them. Bob, St. Louis, Mo Pharmacist

Crown Laser Team, I just want to let you know how completely pleased I am with my LASIK surgery. It is awesome to get up in the morning and be able to see! I would also like for you to know how professional and organized I observed your staff to be. From the receptionists, to Dr. Short, everyone was great! As a nurse, I had an experience which exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, I was impressed with the flow of everything from pre-exam interview, to post procedure follow-up. Thank You! -Jami

Provided by DexKnowsI am so glad I chose Crown Laser Center. I couldn't be happier with the results. I had a really high prescription (-7) and read every letter on the 20/15 line the morning after the surgery. Durinng the surgery the doctors explained everything that was going on, how it was going, what would happen next, etc which really calmed my nerves and made it seem like no big deal. Best money I've ever spent and would recommend Crown to my closest friends.

Provided by DexKnowsLoving the results of my LASIK surgery from Crown Laser Center. Crown made it convenient, quick, easy and pleasurable. The staff was absolutely amazing! LASIK made little things like accidentally falling asleep and not worrying about getting up in the middle of the night to take my contacts out is great! Getting that occasional fogginess from extended wear of contacts is a thing of the past. Totally pleased. Thanks.Kennith

Provided by DexKnowsCrown Laser Center proved different then the rest because they are very professional, very patient, answered any questions I had, and had the best supporting staff a nervous patient like me could ask for!I was very anxious the day of the surgery. The LASIK assistant, Alysia, not only assured me to trust Dr. Ullrich's work but helped build my confidence to relax during the procedure. My vision is great and I can honestly say this is the best decision I have ever made. I want to thank Dr. Ullrich and the Crown Laser Center Staff for being patient with me in this life changing experience.

Provided by DexKnowsAs frequently as the topic of LASIK comes up, I am recommending Crown Laser Center to my peers because of my experience with them. The results are unbelievable and the staff is as accommodating as you need them to be.Personally, I made the move to get LASIK because I was experiencing discomfort while wearing contacts ...because of dry spots I developed on my eyes from spending long hours on a daily basis in front of a computer. However, in hindsight, I would have gone the route of LASIK long before I ever had issues with my contacts. There is absolutely no reason to wait any longer than necessary to make the move.Without a doubt one of the most rewarding and instantly gratifying investments I have ever made. 20/15 vision is priceless. I absolutely love it.
