Vision One Lasik Center

I have been meaning to write this review for some time. I found Vision One on Living Social. I had been reeled in to see another organization by a tempting radio ad. Upon visiting that office, I was kept there for 2 hours to be quoted $ 3,800 for the surgery.
I read all the reviews on Vision One — the good and bad, and determined I was willing to give it a try. I am 500% satisfied with my experience with Vision One. I had my mono-​vision surgery late September, and even on the very next day I was able to forgo both my reading glasses and my distance glasses. I was able to read a fine print book the next week, and easily work on the computer all day long (with only a bit of tired eyes end of day). My distance is wonderful as well.
Most importantly, I really like the doctors and staff at Vision One. Dr. Brand on the initial consultation was very direct and honest about the procedure, and the process the day of the procedure. He tells you that you will be there for 4ish hours and explains why. They do the testing just before the procedure so that the computer has the most up to date information. They offer wi-​fi and TV in the waiting room, so it wasn’t painful at all. Dr. Brand, Dr. Marion, and Dr. Burger (who did the surgery), all made me feel very comfortable and completely safe. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient. Not a problem at all. I wish I could remember the name of the wonderful girl who did scheduling of appointments and some of the testing. She was absolutely top notch.
After my surgery, I recommended Vision One to a friend of my son’s, and he went and is happy as well. I have since recommended Vision One to many people because it is one of the best things I have done for myself. Money well spent, and I saved a ton by using them.

This is a fantastic place to get LASIK surgery. The groupon that’s available, and that I used, is LASIK for both eyes for $ 1900. This is a steal since the doctors you will work with before, during and after your surgery are professional, kind and most importantly extremely skilled and knowledgeable.
Yes, it’s true, as they mention when you go for your consultation, you will wait about 4 hours on the day of your surgery before the procedure actually occurs. After getting eye measurements, you will be placed in a room with a group of people also getting the surgery done to watch a video that explains everything you need to do to obtain successful results. Then, Dr. Burger comes out and talks through some of what the video covers and answers any other questions you have. Then you are each called one by one into the operating room. The doctor and staff are all extremely friendly and will give you a teddy bear if you need something to hold on to. The entire procedure takes less than 10 minutes and then you are on your way.
Overall, this is a great place to go to for extremely affordable, grade A quality LASIK. You won’t regret it!

I’ve been thinking about a lasik procedure for the past couple years now because my eyes have stabilized, so I visited a few places in the Chicago area to get a consultation and see who I would move forward with come Jan-​16 to leverage my FSA funds. I stumbled upon Vision One via Groupon, but there’s just something about discount services that makes me uneasy when it comes to something as important as your eyes. I still wanted to see how the consultations would vary, so I decided to make an appointment. I’ve had a prior consultation with another venue downtown, and they were very extensive in the tests conducted, and made me feel very comfortable. The surgeon himself even came in and told me how the process would work pre and post surgery.
The consultation with Vision One was certainly different, to say the least. They don’t have the main equpiment at the consultation office downtown, so the main problem was that they couldn’t verify if I’d actually be eligible for lasik or PRK surgery and that I would find out the day of surgery (if moving forward with them). The surgery also takes place at a different office in the west suburbs and not the downtown location. The lasik process at Vision One also uses the older method, using a blade to make the flap on your eye, as opposed to new technology that uses lasers to make the flap; hence the cheap groupon price. I didn’t feel comfortable at all coming out of this consultation and there was a night and day difference coming out of this one vs. the other two places I went to.
Word of advice, if you’re trying to save a few bucks, find it in other ways like eating out or other things in your budget that you can cut back on. When it comes to your eyes, it’s worth dishing out the extra dollars to get a more safe and precise procedure. This is just a suggestion, you’re in charge of your own decisions. Hope this is helpful!

After much back and forth, I went forward with LASIK! It’s best choice, second was choosing this place to do it! They have specials everywhere if you look (Groupon & LivingSocial) and the best price with outstanding service and results. They follow up with you often and schedule appointments months to a year out for regular checkups for you, like your regular eye doctor would. They also prepare you well in advance so you know what to expect. All that being said, I had PRK because of my high prescription before 7.0, yep, high. Glasses since the 3^rd grade. It’s hard to believe that my eyes are working on their own without the use of contacts. They will decide at your consultation whether or not you are a candidate for Lasik or PRK. The procedure is pretty much the same but the recovery time is a little bit longer. I had to take about a week and a half off from work and probably didn’t start to see a big increase and my vision until about three weeks out. Immediately after surgery however, I was not able to wear my glasses or any other lowered prescription. The beginning was rough but the rest was smooth sailing. It all depends on your body’s recovery and healing process as well. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and I highly recommend their services to any and everyone who inquires and is ready to SEE! Worth every dime!

Best thing I have ever done!
I’ve been wearing glasses for 25 years and I have been waiting this day all my life. I walked in with glasses and walked out without. I had lasik surgery on Friday afternoon and by night time I was watching TV with no glasses. On Saturday I went to my follow up appointment and Dr. Grant, senior, said my vision was ²⁰⁄₂₀ and my progression was great. He was straight up and honest and I really appreciate him and all his team in all 3 offices. Dr. Grand, senior, Dr. Grant, son and Dr. Berger, who did my procedure. And the office staff, super polite and friendly. Thanks to you all!

Chicago Location — 4 stars because «I’m a fan». I didn’t have Lasik surgery here. just a consultation. So this is more so a review based on trustworthiness. This was my 3^rd consult at 3 different offices. The 1^st said no, the 2^nd said yes, and vision one said no. Not only did I appreciate them saying no and speaking of the dangers of me getting lasik, I can tell he was concerned about the company that told me «yes». He had heard of them before and figured they would have been the company that would say yes. I felt that he wasn’t just trying to bash them, but wanted me to be safe with my decision. I told him I have another consult with a 4^th highly reputable business and he felt that was a great choice for me.
All in all I felt comfortable in what he was telling me. It wasn’t my first consult, and I had been doing research, so everything he was telling me wasn’t new. So for someone who hasn’t done many consults and has only gone to Vision One, I would lean towards trusting their opinion.

Bought this deal on Groupon and had an excellent experience.

Price wise this is the cheapest I’ve seen the procedure at $ 1900 with the Groupon. I went for the consultation before I purchased the Groupon but I was still surprised that for such a large purchase for a Groupon that it was not a scam. LVI charged $ 3300 with a supposed 20% discount because the sun was shining. LASIK plus wanted my leg and $ 3750 also with a $ 600 discount because the sky is blue.
You see and talk to the doctors more than other places that have you with a tech most of the time. Yes, you’ll be there on the day of the surgery for 3 – 4 hours because they have people go in groups. The whole procedure takes about less than five minutes. I was able to see almost immediately. I even went out to eat afterwards. Discomfort is the best word to describe some of the unpleasant sensation regarding the surgery, but there is no pain.
Two weeks later, I can see without any aid better than ever. You have to wear the goggles for a week while you sleep and take two eye drops four times a day as well, but that’s no big deal. My vision is still improving as it takes a couple of months to fully heal.
So I would definitely recommend going here unless you wanna pay double the price at LVI or LASIK plus. Best investment so far.

I underwent a follow up appointment at this location after my LASIK surgery at the Lombard location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was given a minimal wait and my results have been and stayed ²⁰⁄₂₀ for a year now. Very satisfied with my overall experience with Vision One.

I bought a Lasik Surgery deal through Gilt City and was skeptical because the price was so cheap. I had no reason to be!!! The staff was very helpful with all my questions, and the doctors were very thorough and quick. I was scared of the surgery, but it happened so quickly, that it was over before I knew it. I just had a follow-​up visit, and a little over a month after the Lasik surgery, I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision! I can’t remember the last time I could say that.

Very happy with my purchase. Using Living social app. for the purchase was very easy and quick. Can say one bad thing about Vision One, service was great, surgery was quick. My outcome was great from the very start. One month from surgery, my site is wonderful. I can see near perfect vision. I would highly recommend using Vision One and Living Social.
