I got PRK done here by Dr Sane and it worked out perfectly for me. I have no side effects (not even the common dry eye) and perfect vision (slightly better than 20/20, but not quite 20/15).
I did tons of research on all types of procedures and risk factors, studies, etc. I read many reviews on here as well to help me make my decision, so now I am contributing back my own experience.
This place uses Contoura Vision laser. They are more pricey probably for this reason. PRK + Contoura is the gold standard when you factor in both risks and quality of outcome. In my case I had to go with PRK because of my thin corneas, but I appreciate there are less risks for this procedure than for lasik. I still had to wear sunglasses most of the time outdoors to avoid late onset corneal haze, but only for the 6 months.
The recovery was not painful for me. I only used the numbing drops for one of my eyes, however I've heard this varies a lot per person. Though the recovery is not fun because your vision is not great for several weeks and you have to put ton of drops. I did one eye at a time (1 week apart). This extends recovery time, but it is well worth it in my opinion. I was more confident because I knew if something went wrong, I'd still have my other eye intact. Few people know this, but the FDA actually recommends one eye at a time to reduce risks. On top of that, doing one eye at a time allowed me to continue working (desk job). Your vision is so bad at first that reading on a computer screen is too difficult, and would harm your recovery anyways. I popped one lens off of my glasses and put a no-pressure eye patch on top of my eye that just got operated. I hope this helps someone out there!

I had Lasik done 6 months ago by Dr. Furlong. The procedure was quick and my eyes quickly healed with great results. The team was available to answer my many questions and calm anxiety pre-procedure, they really helped me feel comfortable during the process.

I came in for my educational appointment in Nov 2022, decided on ICL surgery based on my rx (around -8.00) and cornea measurements (average thickness), came back in Jan 2023 for ICL consultation, and got scheduled for surgery in early March. Had a handful of pre-op and post-op appointments (still have one more 3 month post-op appt) and each one has been pleasant, quick and straightforward. Dr. Furlong and his staff are all very warm, friendly and professional. The ICL surgery itself takes place in Los Gatos and that was a good experience too. Legit surgery process with a pre-op and post-op recovery room (you don’t really need it imo) and the surgery went by so quickly and for the very most part, easily (thank you, anesthesiologist). The healing process has been simple and quick. It’s amazing - I haven’t been able to see the big E on the rx board for yearssss, and now I’m seeing at 20/15 both eyes. 🥹 Highly recommend both Dr. Furlong and ICL.
