Travis & Sophia

Procedure: LASIK & EVO ICL

Patient’s Comment

We were sick of wearing glasses while exercising, taking care of newborn. Excited to not be thinking about when I need to take out contacts, not always be cleaning glasses. Do it and get it done earlier, so you can enjoy benefits for longer.

Doctor’s Comment

For new parents Travis and Sophia, life with their newborn is already full enough to keep their hands and attention busy. They each decided to make one part of their daily routine a little easier by saying goodbye to their dependence on glasses. Sophia chose EVO ICL, while Travis chose LASIK. Both procedures were performed by Dr. Bansal, and both are now seeing 20/20! No glasses to adjust. No contacts to worry about. Just clearer vision and more freedom to enjoy those everyday moments with their new baby. Congratulations, Travis and Sophia, on your growing family and your new vision!

Adam R.

Procedure: LASIK

Occupation: Tattoo Artist

Patient’s Comment

I came to LaserVue because I was tired of contacts. I’m excited to look at people’s faces, and not bump into things. If someone I love was considering this treatment, I would tell them 100%!

Doctor’s Comment

Adam wanted to correct his farsightedness and improve his day-to-day vision without relying on glasses or contacts. At his postoperative visit, he was thrilled with his 20/20 uncorrected vision. Adam is officially seeing 20/20 after LASIK with Dr. Wangyu — and for this tattoo artist, the results are pretty ink-redible. He is now a self-proclaimed “bird of prey with eagle vision” and says he would 100 percent recommend LASIK to someone he loves who is considering vision correction. We love seeing patients experience that moment when their new vision becomes their new normal.

I’m excited to see without glasses. Wear headphones without putting pressure onto glasses then on my head. The treatment is quick and not to worry.

Katherine K. SMILE

Katherine K.

Procedure: SMILE

Patient’s Comment

It’s the day after, and just like you guys said, it was quick and easy. No pain, and you wake up the next morning. You really feel like you have 20/20 vision. Like, I can see distance, which I haven’t been able to do for years. So it was very quick and easy. I would recommend it to anyone. Fog is very minimal. I have a little bit of fog, but it’s nothing to be panicked over. I feel like my vision is exactly where I want it to be the day after. Even better than I think it should be. I had my last check on Friday, and I’m going to be cleared to go out into the world for the first time with my new eyes. I’m going up to Seattle, so I’m excited to see the distance, and see everything I can with my new sunglasses on!

Doctor’s Comment

Katherine opted for SMILE to have less dry eye. She had a previous surgical procedure (pterygium excision) that makes her more prone to dryness. We decided on SMILE over LASIK for this reason. She is doing great at 20/15 on day 3 and is already flying out of town on vacation.

I don’t want to wear glasses anymore. LaserVue is near my home, and my friend recommended ICL. I’m excited to go swimming, do sports, and hike under the rain. Consider ICL at LaserVue.

Doctor’s Comment

Big cheers to our patient Natalie who joined us to celebrate 20/20 vision 1 year after EVO ICL! She’s thrilled to dive into swimming, sports, and rainy hikes with sharp, unrestricted vision.

Luke I.

Procedure: LASIK

Patient’s Comment

Was SO tired of wearing irritating contacts or losing glasses when kiting and biking. I’m excited [for] all the outdoor sports all the time. 🙂 GET IT!

Doctor’s Comment

For Luke, adventure isn’t a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. He travels the world chasing the best kitesurfing conditions and stays constantly active outdoors. Glasses and contacts made his every trip more complicated and often held him back from fully enjoying the moment. After LASIK, Luke is now seeing every destination with crisp 20/15 vision. No lenses, no limits, just freedom. Now he can focus on the wind, the water, and the adventure ahead. Congratulations Luke!

Before LASIK, Thanh was nearsighted with astigmatism, and even with glasses his best vision was 20/25. After LASIK, he’s now reading the 20/20 line in each eye and seeing better than he ever has before. Clear, crisp vision and a whole new way of seeing the world! We are so happy for you Thanh!

Patient’s Comment

It was beginning to get difficult seeing clearly and comfortably with contacts and glasses. I’m excited to see my kids’ faces at night when I wake up, and not having to rely on glasses. I’m also excited to not feel anxious at the end of the year when my contact supply is running low. Start seeing from a different and improved perspective!

Doctor’s Comment

Dr. Luu sees 20/20 for the first time since EVO ICL and no longer has to manage her contact lens refills!
