| - I quite literally could not be more pleased with the service I received from Schwartz. From the initial consultation, to a couple weeks now after my procedure, my vision is great and EVERYONE at Schwartz could not have been kinder at every step. I had a consultation elsewhere initially, and it was actually cheaper there, but in the end, I decided to go with Schwartz. It won't be the lowest cost provider, but when it comes to your eyes and vision, peace of mind definitely has value.
I'd had glasses for about 25 years, and finally decided to check out if I had any other options, as contacts just were not ever comfortable for me. My consultation at the first place was alright, nothing glaringly alarming or concerning there. But at Schwartz, it was just much more comfortable from the start. I'm not even quite sure how to explain it, I think just knowing Dr. Schwartz's reputation going in, knowing that he's been doing this for quite some time and that he's been doing this for professional athletes must've just automatically put me at ease. I went through some eye tests and scans, nothing too bad at all. Then met with a dr there who did another quick exam (Dr Rosenstein, I believe, who was also excellent), and then finally a brief discussion with Dr Schwartz. My procedure was scheduled for about a week later. There are some prescription eye drops to pick up to bring on the day of your procedure.
I had LASIK done and the actual procedure itself only took about 15 minutes. Prior to the procedure, you're put in a waiting area with other patients and you'll have to get numbing drops, antibiotics, and a valium, if you want it. Everyone in the room where the procedure's done was very helpful and professional. You don't have to worry about your eye closing because they numb your eyes, and put in a little thing that keeps your eyelids open. The most important thing is to stay still, and there's a very helpful person speaking to you the whole time, letting you know how much time is left, and to remind you to keep still. It was just very helpful and reassuring to have had that.
Immediately after the procedure, there will be some discomfort, of course. You'll have to have someone else drive you home that day. It's not fun, but it's also not that bad at all considering you just had eye surgery. Your eyes just feel very achy and tired, so it'll be uncomfortable for the rest of that day. Best thing to do is to just sleep, preferably till the next morning, if possible. I could tell my vision was better immediately after the procedure, but it was hard to keep my eyes open for too long that quickly after the procedure. But the next morning, the discomfort was pretty much all gone, and my vision was just great. It wasn't perfect, of course, they say it can take 1-2 months to stabilize, but it was a world of difference for me. You have a 1 day post op appt, a 1 week post op appt, and then depending on where you're at, that'll determine when you have to see them next. I don't have an appt until the 3 month mark.
It's 1 week of prescription eye drops + artificial tears after the procedure, as well as sleeping with eye guards. But after a week, it's just the artificial tears every couple/few hours, it's so worth it. It's been 2 weeks since my procedure, and they've already told me that there are no more restrictions for my eyes, as far as activities/sports go, and having near perfect vision sans glasses just feels AMAZING. Dr Schwartz's reputation was more than worth the price difference between the two places I went to, and I would advise anyone considering any vision correction procedure to, at the very least, check out Schwartz Laser Eye Center. There really isn't a compelling reason not to go for a consultation if you've ever wanted to know your vision options. Thank you to all the dr's and techs and everyone else there!!
