I had LASIK surgery apprx. 6 months ago with Dr. Ollerton. Surgery was one up front cost with all follow up appts. included. Dr. Ollerton was very thorough in getting my prescriptions dialed in prior to surgery. During surgery he explained everything as it was happening and kept me informed throughout which made the whole procedure stress free. Entire process has been great and really love the results. Highly recommend to anyone looking into LASIK. Wish I had done this surgery years ago.
Had LASIK done with Dr. Andrew Ollerton. Great experience! He went above and beyond to ensure the preparation and procedure went smoothly--literally had extra appointments to ensure my measurements were as exact as possible. Appreciated his attention to detail and commitment to patient outcomes. I have fantastic eyesight now and am so happy with the results!
The receptionist was very helpful and polite. And she must have been in a good mood because she was smiling the whole time. Dr. Vanden Bosch was very nice & explained everything to me. He will be doing my left eye first in about 2 wks I'm scared but excited. I hope this will make me see better cuz I'm tired of the blurriness. Right eye is done. I can see better. I still have to wear glasses. Eyes lot better than what they were. My regular eye Dr. in Sisseton said I can get another pair of glasses 🤓. Hooray!!! It's nice to be able to see again. I'm upset ...
I have severe cataracts and they are getting worse. I was very impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. On Thursday, I'm having surgery on my right eye! I'll try and give you updates! ########UPDATE####### I had the surgery on both eyes two weeks apart. I still have to go back for an eye exam, because i will still have to wear glasses for close up. For the first time in 66 years, I CAN SEE! (At a distance. Up close, i am using Dollar Tree glases. I bought about 7 or 8 pairs, so i have them all over the house! But. I can see to ...

Do you know how it feels to go to Dollar Tree and pick out all the regular old sunglasses i want? I. CAN. SEE. It really hit hone when i was at Walmart. I looked up at tge sign that says whats on that aisle, and i can read it!I can drive down the highway or through Sioux Falls, and can read the signs! (I still cant type). If you are contemplating getting it done, dont hesitate! I put it off for TWO years! Call Dr. Ollerton ...
My son had to have eye surgery. We got referred here after his Dr had to leave and go home for awhile. The Dr is amazing she explained everything so well, she talked like she actually knew what she was talking about, and very informative. Everything went very good with the surgery and my son is making a lot of progress.
