IQ Laser Vision

Recently visited their Costa Mesa location for a follow-​up. Much closer to my house in Irvine than their Alahambra office so that was nice. Staff was great — they always are.
Wait time was very short. That I really liked. Would recommend going to this one over the Alahambra office for any post-​op appointments if you reside in Orange County. They also have a coupon for $ 1,000 off right now. You can take advantage of it by visiting
. My wife took advantage of this offer too and just got her eyes done about a month ago and loves it.

I actually heard about IQ vision through my dad. Dr. Robert Lin has many years of experience and has performed numerous lasik procedures. The staffs are courteous and friendly. They even picked me up and drove me home the day of the procedure. They whole process was fast, easy, and comfortable. Dr. Lin even called me after i woke up from my 4 hours nap after i got home from the procedure to check how i was doing and it was already past 7 P.M. They genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommended!!!

Just had surgery at IQ Laser Vision 3 days ago, and just like the thousands of other people who have had their vision corrected by Dr. Lin, I should have done this sooner!
The entire experience was second to none. Each and every member of Dr. Lin’s team was friendly, courteous, and professional. They explained every step of the way in great detail and reviewed all of my options.
I highly recommend IQ Laser Vision to anyone who is considering LASIK!

I heard about this place from my Mom, who heard it on the Viet radio station. She said that if I wanted to do Lasik, Dr. Robert Lin has ton’s of experience and have done over 1,000 surgeries. So I called up and asked for an appointment at 4 on a weekday. The place is easy enough to find being it is right across from South Coast plaza on Bristol. I checked in 15 till 4pm and filled out all the paperwork. They didn’t call me till about 15 after. Not a big deal but still, I’m a punctual person. They had my eyes checked, measured the thickness of my cornea, and made sure I was a good candidate for Lasik, ie stable prescription and good cornea thickness. After being measure by a tech, he had us waiting for another 10 – 15 mins for the sales rep to talk about the procedure and financing. I talked to Becky, she was a very nice lady and seemed honest and she knew her stuff. I had already researched Lasik beforehand online and she was trying to press the microkeratome surgery because it is cheaper, but the ‘bladeless’ technique is the new technique and was offered a little more than the microkeratome. They gave me a really good deal, it included: pre and post op medication, 1 year of post-​op check-​ups, and even gave me a ride to City of industry where the procedure is done. So def very friendly service but as of now, I am still researching and making sure I get the best DR’s for my eyes.

I got my laser eye surgery back in April, but wanted to wait before writing a review to see how my eyes turned out… To start off, the pre-​op part of checking the eyes and measuring was very prompt and professional, I felt that they were very thorough with my pre-​exam. The surgery itself was pretty scary (things coming at your eyes never are relaxing), I wish I would’ve taken the Zanex they offered, but I thought I was too tough. :) My eyes were dry for 3 weeks and then perfectly normal after that. Today my eyes are better than perfect, it’s like I never wore contacts for 20 years. It’s amazing! I would do it all over again 10 times (but with Zanex). Thank you to Dr. Lin and his staff for the incredible results.

I heard about this place through my mom, who recently went in for a consultation for her far-​sightedness. I’ve been thinking about getting LASIK done for awhile and with summer coming up, I decided I just need to do it and not look back. I’m a bit squimish about this sort of stuff.
I have been wearing eye glasses (no contacts!) since I was a kid and now that I’m in my late twenties, I figured it was the perfect age to do it. Also, I was a close to a −5.5÷−6 and have a slight astigmatism. I called to schedule a consultation with Christina (who worked with my mom) and the receptionist over the phone was super friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. They had plenty of available times so it was easy to fit schedule me in as soon as possible. My boyfriend (who is my support and my other half) went with me to the consultation and the office (Costa Mesa location) was easy to find and plenty of parking, which they will validate for you. The office is very clean and nicely presented. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. During this visit, we interacted with technicians, staff, optometrists, and business consultants and which and every one was SUPER nice and easy to talk to. I haven’t seen such a great group. Everyone was efficient, yet friendly. That definitely helped with my nerves. I wish I can name everybody, but I don’t want to leave names out. Maybe I’ll edit this post later with specific.
During the consultation, all of our questions were answered, the procedure, billing, and paperwork were clearly explained, and we did not feel pressured or rushed at all. After making the decision to go ahead, we scheduled the procedure (which was done at their City of Industry location) and there were plenty of dates and times available, which was very convenient. I went ahead and did some pre-​procedure exams, which was uncomfortable, but necessary. We went home feeling prepared for our upcoming procedure.
The City of Industry location is a bit of a hassle to get to from Orange County so make sure you give yourself enough time due to traffic. The actual building was easy to find and there are plenty of parking spaces. The check-​in was easy and the pre-​procedure exams and check-​ups were equally easy. The staff here just makes everything runs so smoothly and efficiently. They are also very personable and thorough. (Another nice thing is that the staff travels from location or location so you get to know everybody!) They also let my boyfriend be a part of the entire thing, so it was nice to have that support without feeling like he is in the way of everything. The operation room has a window that allows viewers to watch the procedure being perform live, which is a nice feature.
Dr. Robert Lin was so understanding about my nervousness and was an easy-​going guy. His confidence, yet friendly persona put me at ease and I was slightly less anxious about the procedure. His credentials and background also speak for themselves. He is probably one of the best in the area in what he does. The procedure itself was painless, but uncomfortable. No, you do not see a knife or laser cutting into your eye. All you see is bright lights and your eyes are previously numbed with eye drops. You are distracted by the loud noise, slightly burning smell, your conversation with Dr. Lin, and your ability to focus on the green light that everything goes by quickly… maybe 15 minutes? I was a nervous-​wreck, but I survived and I’m telling you, it is not as bad as you think it is. Trust me.
The day of recovery was uncomfortable because your eyes are blurry and all you want to do is sleep (which they give a pill for). By the next day (for me it was waking up at 1:00 in the morning), I realized I could see. It was weird because I feel like I’m wearing my glasses, but when I reach up to touch my face, I’m not… yet I can see. The recovery time is super fast, although your eyes will need some time to get use to everything. Went back for my post-​procedure check-​up and everything is healing properly and I could see ²⁰⁄₂₀ now! We were able to meet and talk to Dr. Lin, which was very unexpected and very pleasant. We assumed that he would be too busy to actually meet and talk to his patients. The customer service here is beyond expectations.
Been going back for my post-​procedure check-​ups, which are quick and easy, and can be scheduled at their various locations.
I highly recommend going in for a consultation with them just to see if you are a good candidate, if this is for you, and just to see what options are available. There is no pressure and can be an educational experience for you, rather or not you decide to go forth with the procedure.
