Dr. Dean Dornic in Cary....AWESOME!!! Had my lasik 8 years ago
Pam K. replied:
I thought they recommended waiting unt you are older. See severa Drs for their opinion. Duke Eye Clinic and TLC is good
Angie C. replied:
Pam McLemore- depends on your eyes but the most is $1800/eye
Marisa P. replied:
I have had it. Lori Travers is the best. Go for a consultation, it's free. Changed my life!!!!!
Dan T. replied:
If you are a candidate it is well worth it. Used Dr Alan Carlson at Duke University Eye Surgery.
Neil J. replied:
Did it and it has been great. Dr. Kim at Duke.
Sarah L. replied:
Had it, LOVE it, deinitely worth it. I used Kelly Eye Center as they came highly recommended. Dr. Kelly actually uses the Travers Lab for his procedures. My vision was a -11.5 nearsighted which is considered leagally blind. I'm not 20/15. Pull the trigger girl!
Stefan W. replied:
Dr. Lori Travers did mine several years ago -- the price is a lot less now, and they have a monthly payment plan with a reasonable downpayment -- was 20/40 farsighted with astigmatism, and now 20/10 each eye

Hi all. My husband would like to have LASIK surgery sometime within the next couple of years. It will be a while because we want to pay cash, but we would like to know...
Amy L. replied:
I just had LASIK done a few months ago. I went to TLC. Surgery center is in Greensboro but Dr Stonecipher is awesome. Cost was just over $4 k. They gave me a discount b/c I had BCBS. DON'T go for a cheap version, typically older equipment. TLC has a consultation center Apex.

Dr. Laber at Raleigh Ophthalmology
Missy P. replied:
My husband and I had lasik 6 years ago at NC Eye Ear Nose and Throat in Durham by Dr Perry. I highly recommend them. We paid $3,000 total for both eyes after a $500 discount through our NC Farm Bureau insurance. It was the best money we ever spent! I wish we had done it years before.

Call The Raleigh Eye Center.....919-876-2427. ..I had mine done about 4 years ago and I still have 20/15 vision. My mother worked there for many years, I have been going there for over 30 years, my kids go now and the staff is wonderful! Good luck!
Laurie S. replied:
Had mine done also at Raleigh Eye Center in 2004!!! Perfect!!! I think I paid 999 per eye at that time. Highly recommend Dr. James Kiley!!
Amy B. replied:
It's not a set price. My husband had it done by Dr. Travers and he swears by her. Said it was so easy. But his eyes were more "difficult" so he had the higher price point, which they told us upfront. Check with your insurance too - I found out AFTER the procedure that insurance would have covered half if we went to another practice. Dr. Travers does not take insurance.

Kelly Eye Center in Brier Creek was wonderful! I had it done 2 years ago and haven't had any issues.

I had mine done in 2005. Some of the best money I ever spent. Mine were too bad for Lasik and I had to have PRK. One eye at a time a week apart, more gradual than Lasik. was told I would probably only get to 20/25. That was good enough for me. I was wearing -7.50 contacts. I'm a nurse and worked at Duke Regional at the time. Dr. Perry at NC Eye, ear, nose and throat came highly recommended and I chose him. I have not regretted it. I worked night shift and he met me at his office at 6:00 on a holiday to accommodate my schedule. That's the kind of guy he is. I paid $2800 total. I ended up 20/20 and was very happy. He said he didn't want me to be disappointed if I wasn't 20/20 after the procedure. I started wear "coke bottle" glasses in the 4 th grade and they only got worse every year until I was about 20 yo. Now I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Perry!!
LASIK - did you had it done? Who do you recommend?
Carlos C. replied:
TLC@Westshore http://www.tlcvision.com/centers/tampa/ Very professional, life time guaranty, 2 yr payment plans with 0 % interest.
Kelly G. replied:
Hubs had his done a few years ago. He also opted for PRK & has had amazing results. LASIK Vision Institute in Tampa. He got a lifetime guarantee as well just has to have an eye exam every year.
Tina S. replied:
Went from not being able to see the "big E" to 20/15 thanks to Dr Gill at St Luke's!
Jennifer H. replied:
Dr David Leach at the Tampa Eye Laser Center in Tampa. He and his staff are great and he is very thorough in determining if someone is a candidate or not.
Lori F. replied:
Had mine don February with Dr. Groden by Internay
Lori F. replied:
My husband and I both had it done last year with Dr. Groden he is by International Plaza in Tampa. It is the best thing I ever did. Not having to wear contacts or glasses ever again has been great!!!
