Summary: Laser eye surgery isnt all sunshine and roses, but I highly recommended IQLV if youre going to get correction done. Theyre very busy, so explanations can be brief, and patient workflow could be improved (as of ~June 2021). Dr. Phan is a very skilled surgeon, but the SMILE procedure does require you keep your eyeball still for 15-20 seconds, so the results may depend on your understanding of and preparation for what happens before, during, and after your procedure (do your research, get mentally prepared, helps to have someone rehearse with you). Even if the surgery goes well, itll change your overall vision compared to glasses or contacts (likely to reduce night time clarity, slightly reduce contrast, in addition to other risks), so take some time to assess the pros and cons for your situation. Overall, my wife and I dont regret the procedure, but its been less than a year, and its possible our (glasses-free) correction wont last over 5 years. Post-procedure, our eyes feel overall weaker and more prone to dryness.Eye drop brand makes a huge difference for us. The Oasis Tears eye drops (provided by IQLV) are the best weve tried. Other preservative free eye drops (like Refresh Tears) dont provide the visual clarity / moisture of the Oasis Tears.Me: -1.00 and -1.25 rightMy wife: -7.25 both (~cyc +1 axis 118)Post-procedure results: me (~20/20 rt eye), my wife (~20/20 both eyes)What improved over time: dry eyes, night glare and halosMy wife and I got the SMILE procedure done by Dr. Phan. My eyes had an allergic reaction to the procanamide numbing eye drops used during the surgery (very rare apparently). As a result, only my right eye underwent the SMILE procedure, and my left eye became blurry because of corneal erosion (from the procanamide). My main gripe about what happened was that I initially didnt get a good explanation about what happened or what to expect or do about it (probably because 1) it was a rare reaction 2) they were very busy).My vision post-procedure was worse than pre. After many follow up visits, I was given more details about the reaction and how long my eyes would take to recover. The post-op visits renewed my confidence for IQ laser vision. It took about 2-3 months before my left eye got back to ~95% of its former acuity. Now, at 8 months, I enjoy my vision on a daily basis; its around 20/20 overall (since my left eye is only -1.00). I would not hesitate to do it all over again, but my visual acuity and clarity nowadays is worse than when I was using contacts / glasses.My wife got her SMILE done by Dr. Phan in June 2021. Her results are amazing. After the first day, she had almost no dry eyes, no redness, no pain, no discomfort, etc. She was also already seeing 20/20. We had prepared and rehearsed for her surgery every day for a week, so she wasnt surprised by any part of the process. Dr. Phan did a great job on my wifes surgery, but after 2 months, she still has some dry eyes. Were aware itll take 3-6 months before the dryness aspect stabilizes.We dont know if this is a result of the surgery, but nowadays, both my wife and I tend to open our eyes more during our sleep, so we often wake up with a band of eye dryness across our eyeballs. Thats why we depend on moisturizing eye drops every night before we sleep. Just keep that in mind if you think that laser eye surgery will eliminate all your eye product dependencies :)When you choose a doctor to correct your vision, you want the best, not only in skill, but you want someone who is looking out for your best interests. As such, your or another patients procedure may take longer than expected, so dont be surprised if you have to wait your turn or your exams take longer. With your vision, its best to be patient, prepare, and make informed decisions. IQ does get very busy, so you may need to do your own research. You have to be your own advocate, dont take anyones word without understanding the implications.

Great staff, friendly service, good followup and great results for my lasik.

I was initially nervous to get a LASIK procedure until I met Dr. Hyver and his excellent staff. His practice is so well organized and made the whole process a breeze. The actual procedure went by in a flash pain-free and immediately saw the results in my vision. I was able to see 20-20 the next day. Dr. Hyver is a game changer! Thank you!
