I had a fantastic experience with 20/20 from the initial consult to my final follow-up exam a year after my clear lens exchange surgery. Everyone I dealt with approached my care with genuine concern. I went to three consultations to improve my vision, and while others focused on sales, 20/20 focused on service. I can't say it any better than their mission statement: "Every day we will strive to be the best vision correction organization in the world. We value the privilege to play an important role in this amazing, life-changing event in our ...

After one year my vision is still better than it has ever been. 20/20 was very professional, quick to schedule, and helped me with any concerns. One thing that could have made the experience better is if they found a different loan provider. The only option for financing my Lasik procedure was Synchrony, and they ended up calling me in a really hostile way after one of my payments was late. They have a really bad platform that doesn't notify you if a payment failed, and I ended up having to pay extra interest that I wasn't expecting to. Everything else ...

recently visited to determine if I was a candidate for vision correction, and I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received throughout the entire process. The staff made me feel comfortable and well-informed. The consultation was incredibly thorough - they took their time to explain each step of the evaluation process and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. They prioritized the best options for my situatiion rather than pushing me toward any particular procedure.

Amazing experience! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Facilities were all very nice and comfortable. Showed up early to all of my appointments and they got me right in. Walked in not being able to see without contacts/glasses, and now have 20/15 vision. Only downfall was I didn't do this sooner. I would highly recommend getting Lasik at 20/20! Life changing!

After a long search for a trustworthy place to get LASIK done, I found 20/20 Institute through Google - and I cannot recommend them enough. I had my surgery just yesterday and already have 20/15 vision (which is better than 20/20!) Every person I encountered was extremely professional and kind, and the doctor who performed my surgery has around 20 years of experience - and it showed. Going into it, I was extremely nervous (as I hate anyone touching my eyes or potentially affecting my vision negatively), but the team put me completely at ease. What really ...
