L. Shawn Wong, MD

I went back in January to get another eye exam to see if I was a candidate for lasik (even though I knew I was when I went to his brother, Shannon, first. But because they have this policy where they have to retest you to make sure, I had to get another test done!) Anyway, Dr. Shawn Wong is extremely kind and patient with you. Sometimes when you’re reading the letters on the screen he’ll say things like «One is better, right?» And the majority of the times he’s right; he knows which lens suits your eyes better and it kind of lifted this weight off my shoulders because I’ve always HATED having to sit there trying to guess what each letter I was looking at. I mean, he does let you read the lines, but most of the time if you read one or two in the line, he’ll know you can see it and moves on instead of wasting your time in reading each and every letter. (Even if you get them wrong, he knows you can at least see the line). I would recommend Dr. Wong to anyone interested in lasik! He makes you feel comfortable and know that you have nothing to worry about; he eases your mind and answers any questions you have very well.

I had Lasik 1 week ago and am feeling great now, aside from some minor dry eye, which they said was to be expected for a couple months. Dr. Wong explained everything in great detail at my first visit and my preop and he completely set my mind at ease. The day of surgery, one of the front desk ladies got me ready and explained everything about the surgery to me, so I had no surprises when I went in. She had the procedure with Dr. Wong, so she spoke first-​hand, which was very comforting to hear. Dr. Wong talked to me the whole procedure to let me know exactly what was happening and what I needed to do. The evening of the surgery, he called to check in and leave me his personal cell phone number in case I had any issues. I have never had a doctor do that before! On top of that, they were incredibly accommodating with my work schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Wong and the Eyes of Texas Laser Center.

I’ve had my lasik for 6 months now and I love it. I did have issues seeing double right after but it went away within a month. I used to see double with my contacts before when I tried to read and my eyes got dry and fatigued. Now I don’t really have this happen at all. My vision is crystal clear, and in windy, pollen filled weather i am so thankful to be without contacts on my eyes!
Dr. Wong is am VERY good at what he does, and made it go so smoothly, prepared me for every next step. I wish I had done this years ago.

I am 5 days post-​surgery and I feel great! Dr. Wong and his staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Wong himself was very professional, compassionate and gentle. He guided me through the surgery, encouraging and reassuring. My vision is getting better by the day, and I’m so glad to be able to see without any corrective measures! Thank you, Dr. Wong!

Simply the best experience that I can possibly imagine. I was referred to Dr. Shawn Wong by a coworker who went to Eyes of Texas about a year ago and kept raving about how great it was. After checking out a couple other places it really came down to the friendly staff and their knowledge of everything involved. I’m not kidding. I think that even the receptionist could do the procedure. I had another friend who went to Dr Dell (she was less enthusiastic but did recommend him), so I did a courtesy visit to his office as well. The staff does a great job of playing up his experience and contribution to the industry but as a patient, I felt like an afterthought.
Dr. Shawn Wong met with me on the 1^st visit and was incredibly nice and extremely thorough. By the time I was put under the laser, I felt like it was my 2^nd or 3^rd time having it done. The procedure itself didn’t take long at all and by the time I walked out of the office I could see perfectly. I know most people say it took them a week or two before getting back to normal but for me it was pretty much instantaneous. Later in the same day the Dr even personally called to see how I was doing.
It has now been two weeks and I just can’t express enough, how seamlessly everything went. It makes me wish I had went to him 5 years ago.

I have known Dr. Wong since we were in high school together, and he didn’t change a whole lot over the years. A very personable and professional doctor who did a great job on my LASIK procedure. Explained everything quite well and told me he could make one eye for close up vision and the other eye for long distance, or have both corrected for long distance. I chose the latter, and that’s what I got.
He explained the procedure quite well while it was going on and prepared me well for the follow up and after-​care. I had no problems. He’s done thousands of these procedures, and I’d definitely recommend him for LASIK surgery.
