Had my aurgery Wednesday and was immediately seeing so much better. As they say, the first 48 hours it fluctuates, but no pain nor discomfort and my vision is stabilizing with amazing clarity! Dr. Holzman kept me cool, calm, and collected the whole time. And it was so fast you wouldn't even know it happened. Very appreciative I finally went ahead and did it!

Got my LASIK procedure done 5 days ago and my eyes feel perfect. Dr. Holzman is incredible. I was really anxious and right before I went into the laser room I met Dr. Holzman. He could tell I was noticeably stressed but he told me that it was going to be fast and easy, to breathe, and to trust him. That I did, and he was right! This was the easiest procedure ever, I felt no pain, wasn't uncomfortable, nothing. He explained to me what was going on the entire time so I felt much more comfortable. Within what felt like just a few minutes I was done, and I could see the right when I sat up! Dr. Holzman even reached out the night of the procedure. This guy is the real deal. Would recommend him to anyone who wants a stress free experience.
View On GoogleLASIK Cost Compared to Glasses and Contact Lenses
While LASIK's price may seem high, it's worth noting the cost of wearing prescription glasses and contact lenses can add up. These price comparisons are worth considering for potential LASIK candidates.
Most people get new prescription glasses every other year, which can range from $200 to $600 per pair depending on the lens materials and frame designs. That's thousands of dollars spent on new eyewear over the course of an entire lifetime.
While the price of contact lenses may not seem like much, it adds up. On average, someone who wears contact lenses spends approximately $250 a year. In 20 years, that adds up to $5,000 for contacts, which is roughly the price of LASIK.
The price of contact lenses isn't just for the lenses themselves. You also need to worry about cleaning solution and carrying cases, which can prove a hassle. With LASIK, you won't need to worry about buying or running out of cleaning solution.
If you suffer from nearsightedness or farsightedness, it's important to consider the less tangible benefits as well. Imagine waking up with clear vision from the moment you open your eyes. We can educate you on our patients' experiences.

Dr. Holzman is highly regarded in the area and among my peers who have done the procedure in the recent years. On the day of the surgery, he came in and introduced himself. He's personable and assured me that everything looked great before and after. It was a quick 10 minute procedure. I definitely felt comfortable and confident that I was in great hands.
