LasikPlus Vision Center

Had my procedure done today. There was a bit of a wait as there were several other people being seen today, but it wasn’t too long. Again, the staff was professional and very courteous as always. Answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. Dr Smith was very friendly and direct. He gave me very specific instructions on what would happen before we walked into the «operating room.» We went in, and he got to work. I was only in the operating room for around 6 – 8 minutes, and he gave me friendly coaching the whole way (where to look, when to relax, etc.) And then it was over. Easy!
The ride home and the first few hours were hard. My eyes did burn quite a bit– as if I had touched a bunch of jalapeños and then rubbed my eyes vigorously. But I just kept my eyes closed and tried to sleep it off. I squeezed in a fitful nap. It’s now 5 hours later and while my eyes are still a tiny bit swollen and sore, I can see! I’m so excited. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow morning so I’m eager to have my eyes checked and see what the doctor says. Overall I’m very, very happy that I chose LasikPlus and would definitely recommend Dr. Smith and his team to anyone!
Update: it’s been a few months now and my vision is fantastic. Only side effect I’ve experienced has been dry eyes at night, which is usually easily remedied by eye drops. My daytime vision is amazing. Night vision is almost as good, but is still far, far improved over what I was seeing before. Very glad I went through with this surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat. No more contacts or glasses!

We love love love the LasikPlus staff! They have been super friendly and nice throughout our entire process! On day one they made us feel like we were right at home and thoroughly explained the process!
On surgery day, we were walked through the entire process and made to feel comfortable before during and after! The doctor even called that evening to check on us and make sure we were ok and that everything was doing well.
The day after appointment also went well! Here we are three weeks later and not only do we have better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, but we are still greeted with smiling faces and laughs each time we enter! What’s even better is that the staff is kind, friendly, attentive, and explore everything!
If you haven’t has LASIK but are considering it, we would definitely recommend the entire staff at this location! Dr. Shriner, Dr. Smith, and the entire office staff are awesome! We have fighter pilot vision now!

This LASIK center is absolutely amazing! The staff here was kind, respectful, & very informative. From the first consultation to the surgery I felt very comfortable. I can’t put in words how much I appreciate these guys! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs LASIK!

I had my corrective surgery done 2 months ago and I’m very happy with the results. Dr. Smith, Dr. Achieved and Sandra are friendly, knowledgable and do their best to make you feel comfortable.
I did some research on other LASIK centers and I chose LasikPlus because of their responsiveness and friendly staff. The cost of the surgery was average based on my Rx. You could definitely find a cheaper price, but I doubt the service would be matched.
I am the fifth person I know that has gotten corrective eye surgery at LasikPlus and I’ve heard 0 complaints. Give them a look if you’re considering LASIK for yourself.

Im writing this review with my new perfect vision! I would highly recommend this place if you’re considering correcting your vision. For years, I’ve considered getting LASIK done but the thought of it terrified me. I had multiple satisfied friends go through this location so I decided to give it a try. From the initial consult through the surgery itself, everything went very smoothly. Much to my comfort, Dr. Smith was very quick with the actual procedure. He talked me through it which was very helpful and before I knew it, it was over. If I could give them 10 stars I would!
However, NOTE: make sure you’ve taken care of all payments BEFORE going back for the surgery. I was incredibly nervous already and then when I was back there, first set of numbing drops delivered, protective hair cap already on, the front desk girl came to pull me to the front to collect payment. I had previously sent my fiancé to double check to make sure we could pay first but even then, they said wait until after. Then apparently changed their minds and pulled me away seconds before my surgery, contributing to my anxiety. So just make sure you pay first, once the surgery is over, you’ll want to walk straight out the door.
Minus that little blip, everything went very well. Much better than I expected and I’m glad I went through with it after years of contemplation. Thank you to Dr. Smith, Dr. Schirner, and the rest of the team! You guys are great!

Had my procedure done yesterday and it really is as good as it gets. The staff was amazing! Very knowledgeable. They probably asked me a billion times if I had any other questions. That worked for me because I process things slowly and come up with questions along the way. They worked with me on financing, worked with me on schedule, they were just extremely flexible to meet my needs. The day of procedure is quick. There is a little irritation but that is to be expected when someone is lasering in on your eyeball. But Dr. Smith talked me through it and made me feel extremely comfortable. He was professional and simply the best. The process probably took maybe 15 minutes max. And then you are told to go home and sleep (they give you tylenonal PM prior to help with this). I got back home around 3pm and I slept until I was woken up by a friend at 8:30. I ate dinner for 30 minutes, put some drops in and then couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. Back to sleep I went until early in the morning. So advice: Try to get the surgery as late in the day as possible and don’t plan anything else after it. When I woke up day after (today), there is slight burning and itching but nothing painful. It just a bit irritating but as I understand it, it’s all a part of the process. Overall, I think Dr. Smith and team did a great job pre procedure, procedure, and post-​procedure (he even gave me a call last night to check in and see how I was doing. What great customer service?!) Thinking about getting LASIK, this is the place to go!

Had my procedure done two days ago. Everyone was kind and knowledgeable. The doctor talked you through the entire process. It was very quick and smooth. It was a little odd having to walk from one station to another during the procedure but they guided you through it the whole time.
I slept the evening of and could still notice results immediately. My sight continues to improve as healing continues. I still have slight soreness and redness but it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.
Would definitely recommend them and the procedure.

Had my consultation on a Tuesday. Had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision by Thursday. Lasik Plus answered all my questions and did a fantastic job! ⁵⁄₅ would recommend!

OOOORAH! #WARFIGHTERVISION. Dr. Smith does an awesome job and the whole staff is amazing. He’s down to earth and talked to me like I would have like any Dr talk to me. I had a fear of ‘feeling pain’ all I felt was awesomeness 6hrs later. For my paranoia he gave me extra eye numbing drops. Follow his instructions and take ur drops and tears and you will be good. Got the call later that evening from him and was having a few cold ones and he just told me to rock on and keep up with the drops and be sure to add my tears. Sandra is AWESOME! So so so thankful. Thanks again Sandra and Dr. Smith.

Absolutely love LasikPlus! The staff here is so kind and they do an amazing job of explaining the procedure! Excited to have perfect vision!

I accompanied my boyfriend for his complimentary lasik consultation and was impressed by the courteous and professional service we received. We were assisted by Alicia, the ophthalmic technician, and Dr. Schirmer, the optometrist. They were both very informative and helpful in explaining to us how the procedure worked and answering all questions that we had. We were impressed by the high tech facility and knowledgeable and professional employees here and feel comfortable in proceeding with arrangements for LASIK surgery with Dr. Smith.
Update 2 months later for day of surgery:
Today my fiancé did his Lasik procedure. Originally my review during the consultation was a 5/​5, but after the LASIK procedure (which of course is the most important part), my review has decreased to ³⁄₅. We had scheduled the procedure 2 months ago, and they called us 2 days before and 1 day before to remind us of our appointment, however, when we got there, they didn’t have us scheduled down, they asked if my fiancé was coming in for a consultation (except he was coming in for a procedure!). When we corrected them and said it was for lasik surgery, they went ahead with it. So instead of being printed out on the doctor’s chart for lasik procedures, they hand wrote us in. That’s all ok, except today, the office was so full, once we got to the procedure part, I feel like they had booked so many people on the same day that our procedure was rushed. What’s not acceptable is that my fiancé said his pain was a ⁷⁄₁₀ during the lasik surgery and he could feel pain when they were cutting into his cornea (instead of only feeling pressure) because he felt like they rushed with the numbing eyedrops and didn’t let the numbing eyedrops work before doing the procedure. They put in the eyedrops and here comes his laser surgery in 30 – 60 seconds (ouch). My fiancé felt pain but he said he decided to endure it because he felt like it was too late and they had already cut into his eye when he felt the pain that he didn’t think was normal. He didn’t want to interrupt them during the procedure and risk a mistake happening. Also, the doctor and technician never asked him how he was doing during the procedure to give him an opportunity to express his concerns. All the doctor said was you are doing great and we are moving on to the next step, which is ok but they didn’t really check up on him to see how he was actually doing during the procedure.
Speaking from my point of view since I have also had LASIK surgery done by another LASIK surgeon in New Orleans — Dr Jeffrey Singer, they put numbing eye drops in me and put me in a separate waiting room and came back to check on me in 5 – 10 minutes. They asked me if my eyes felt numb yet, but I said I don’t think my eyes are fully numb yet, so Dr Singer told me to give it a few more minutes before we went into the surgery room. Then during the surgery, Dr Singer asked me how I was doing every 30 seconds to every minute. I think he asked me a great handful of times how I was feeling and if I felt any pain. I told him no pain, just slight pressure and he told me that’s exactly what I should feel.
I had no pain during my previous procedure (nor did other family members of mine who have completed LASIK) so I assured my fiancé before his surgery not to worry and he should not feel pain. I was appalled to learn he felt ⁷⁄₁₀ pain which I don’t think is acceptable considering if they didn’t rush the procedure and gave the numbing eyedrops more time to work, it would have led to much better bedside care for my fiancé. Also another side note, my fiancé said it was freezing in the operation room so I felt so bad for him that he said he was shivering the whole time during the procedure. During the car ride and even after he made it home, he still felt cold from the procedure room (and it was not that cold outside).
My review is meant to be constructive and help them improve their process for future patients. I feel like they should not book so many patients where patients are back to back and our original «appointment» was for 10am but we did not do our procedure until 11:30am — we don’t mind the wait, our concern is increased chance of compromised patient care when too many patients are booked back to back for surgery. I think having so many patients waiting for operations likely forced the doctor to rush the procedure more and not be as thorough. Also, I hope in the future, they check to make sure patients’ eyes are fully numb before they start the procedure and ask patients how they are feeling throughout the procedure.
Update during follow up appointment (1 day after LASIK surgery):
Today, my fiancé came in for a follow-​up appointment and we are glad that he has incredible results and is able to see ²⁰⁄₁₅. Dr Shirmer was attentive and knowledgeable in answering all questions that we had and made him feel at ease despite some issues that occurred the previous day during surger

I wrote a review previously regarding the great experience I had a LasikPlus. I am even more impressed and delighted with them after my most recent experience. The first surgery, although successful did not result in a true ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, but it was still better than I have seen in 55 years (I started wearing glasses at the age of five). After the initial surgery I was able to see much better, and even read the ²⁰⁄₂₀ line with both eyes, but after a couple of follow-​up appointments, the doctors both said they would like to get me the best vision possible, and offered this service at no additional cost to me. I had my enhancement procedure yesterday and I am ecstatic about the results, I went in this morning and was able to read the ²⁰⁄₂₀ line with no effort at all.
In plain terms, this demonstrates LasikPlus’s commitment to service after the sale. These Doctors (Dr Smith and Dr Schimer) both care about you and it is demonstrated in their professionalism and dedication to ensuring you receive the highest quality of vision. In addition, the entire staff is very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. There really should be a case study written about this highest level of customer service.

I went here for a consultation for lasik corrective surgery. I have always been intimidated by lasik because of the «flap» created surgically, so I never considered lasik as an option. I heard that this place does «all laser» lasik, so I made an appointment.
First, always call to make an appointment — don’t use the online system. They don’t tell you very important tidbits if you register online as I did. For example, you should bring glasses and a contact lens case, as there will be a complete eye exam. They dilate your eyes but do not tell you beforehand. This was a SEVERE problem for me because I have only been dilated once in my life and I am completely unable to drive afterwards. They said there is no other way to look at the back of the eye (which is not accurate — my optometrist has technology that does not require dilation and provides identical results). Clearly their technology for this screening has not been updated. Regardless, I have a problem with being lied to by a healthcare professional. I would have scheduled a driver to come with me if I knew this would happen.
So, I had a panic attack driving home, as I could not see at all. Then, when I arrived home, I realized that they did not give me my drivers license OR insurance card back. So, with my super sensitive blind eyes, I had to return to the place. In 5pm traffic, this 20 minute drive turned into an hour long trip. This was really dangerous and scary and I would not recommend this to anyone. I have a prescription from an eye exam less than two weeks ago which should have been more than sufficient.
Although the procedure is «blade free», they still use the laser to create a corneal flap. The other option (it starts with a p, I don’t remember the name) requires SCRAPING of your eye, which can be very painful. The tech told me that this isn’t really «scraping», it’s more of a «brushing» — this was not consistent at all with what the doctor said.
I give these people two stars because the techs were nice and the doctor was very comprehensive. The wait time was almost zero. That’s it. I will absolutely not pursue this — I don’t trust these people at all!
I write this squinting from one eye, so I apologize for typos.

I received my Lasik surgery in June, 2014 and it has been the most incredible — best decision of my life.
I researched a lot of places and visited about 5 doctors and hands-​down this was the best place and I felt the most comfortable and confident when I walked out.
The scheduling, the eye consultation process was fast and easy. The surgery was so fast and the next morning I could see! I had horrible eyes. One was nearsighted and another far sighted at about (–4.5) and (+4.3) and both had astigmatism, yet now my vision is great and I have no issues.
My eyes did not get dry, I do not have double vision or blurriness. I researched a lot and knew there were some potential side affects, I have not received any of that.
Both doctors are fantastic and just great customer service.
Very happy with my decision.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! The doctors are knowledgeable, the staff is courteous, and they take care of you. Getting lasik done was the greatest decision I made for my eyes and I wouldn’t go anywhere besides Lasikplus. I couldn’t be happier.

I will start off by saying I’m not big into medical visits haha. I have always been nervous about Doctors, I don’t know why. I avoid Doctor visits at all costs.
I have worn glasses and contacts for 15 years. Ever since 2003 I have told my self this year will be the year I get Lasik. Every year I watch a YouTube video on the procedure and freak out and say no.
A friend told me about LasikPlus and about how thorough Dr Smith, Sandra (the nurse) and his crew are.
Before going to LasikPlus I was told by a friend who is a Dentist (who got Lasik done while he was in the Army) to shop around for a good price. So I went to 3 other
places in the DFW area, most of them gave me the «puppy mill» feel. I would wait in a lobby full of 70+ chairs and then be rushed through the eye exam. I never felt comfortable with any of the locations until I went to LasikPlus.
Dr Smith is a retired military Lasik surgeon (full bird colonel) in the Air Force. Completing over thousands of Lasik surgeries on military members most of them pilots. While many local doctors claim to have over 100,000 Lasik surgeries which is great, operating on military pilots everyday is more of a reputation builder in my opinion.
I liked how at LasikPlus, nothing felt pushy or sales pitched. I went in they did the exam and they double checked my exam and asked if I was comfortable with the results. After seeing the optometrist I was shown the price by Sandra who is the nurse. Sandra told me she has a lot of experience as well working over 10 years in the Lasik field as a surgery nurse. So, she can answer 99% of your questions.
The price here was a little higher then the local «puppy mill» Lasik centers but I felt comfortable with Dr Smith and his staff. I also liked how there is a glass see through wall where he does his surgeries so everyone can watch. This shows that LasikPlus trusts there Dr, staff and equipment as I’m sure there is a a lot of liability in letting anyone watch the surgery. Also, LasikPlus updates their equipment whenever there is a update or new machine released. This was important as I have heard some local doctors advertise using the newest Lasik technology when they really are using 4 year old machines.
I signed the price quote and scheduled my surgery.
On surgery day I was greeted by the nurses and staff. Sandra checked my eyes one more time and then they double checked my prescription. The Dr asked if I had any worries or questions and then explained to
me step by step what was going to happen as he reinforced what I read in their booklet to never stop staring at the blinking light. Double checking my prescription was very important to me because I have heard that by double checking the day of surgery can prevent any touch ups as our eyes change every day.
A hair net was placed on my hair and I was walked back to the surgery area. I laid on the surgery chair and Sandra put numbing drops in my eye as Dr Smith said he was warming up the laser and inputing my information. Dr Smith then asked if I had any last concerns or complaints and just kept telling me to star at the blinking light and I’ll have no issues. Dr Smith added some more numbing drops and had me close my eyes. After that he put a device on my eye and patched the other eye then vice versa. A few minutes later after staring at a blinking orange light I was done! The whole process after laying on the chair was 8 minutes at the most. Most of that time was waiting on the numbing drops and Dr Smith to verify paperwork and input information into the machine. It was painless and quick just like Dr Smith said it would be.
On the way home my eyes began to flow out tears but I just kept my eyes closed as told and went home and slept for 3 – 4 hours. The whole process was painless. As I was falling asleep my eyes did itch like when I have allergies but these are all common symptoms and that’s why they need you to sleep it off.
Upon waking up I could see! I hung a eye chart up in my house and I was seeing ²⁰⁄₂₀. My next day post op exam was showing ²⁰⁄₁₀ which is better then ²⁰⁄₂₀. I had no pain and later that night on the day of surgery, I went to a baseball game and had no issues.
One other positive thing about LasikPlus is they are all over the USA. So if you are on vacation and have issues you can go to the nearest LasikPlus and get it checked out. There was a guy at my post op appointment who told me he was on vacation in Florida and kept his eyes open too long in the ocean and felt his eyes were about to fall out. He said he walked into the nearest LasikPlus and the Dr checked him out for free! Now his wife is getting the surgery through them.
I was very happy with how professional Dr Smith, Sandra and their staff is. I will be taking my wife in a few months to get her eyes fixed!
Thanks for helping me see LasikPlus and Dr Smith!

Getting lasik corrective eye surgery is a huge deal, and you need to be super comfortable with your doctor and the place you are going to in order to actually get this completed. I went here because a fellow Unilocaler, Sapna N, recommended them and had a wonderful experience there. I went for my consultation during my lunch period, and they explained everything to me in full detail. They answered all my questions properly, and even after I had left the office and called them about a few forgotten questions, they were able to help me out. The day of my surgery, I was a tad bit nervous but Dr Smith eased me into the process again. After the procedure was completed, I went home and rested up. They made sure the follow up with me to check on me, and also called to remind me of follow up appointments. If you are looking into getting corrective surgery done, go and get a consultation ASAP from Dr Smith. Your future self will thank you for it.

This office is great and has an extremely nice staff. I went in for a free consultation and found out that my previous eye doctors had been misdiagnosing me for years.
I didn’t end up needing LASIK repair and they recommended some ways to fix my eyes and doctors that could help, not to mention giving me all of their data they obtained in order to take to my new doctor. What you say, they didn’t just take my money anyway? No. They helped me tremendously even though they were not going to make a dime off of me. I’m extremely impressed and would highly recommend this vision center to anyone who is considering LASIK surgery.

This place was awesome. I got my consultation done on a Wednesday (June 5^th). Sandra was really nice about everything they took test on my eye and told me I was a perfect candidate. I set an appointment for Lasik next Friday June 14^th and they gave me two prescription to fill for my eyes. (Zynmaxid cost about 110 at Sam’s Club and the other one Pred Forte about 15 dollars without insurance (My insurance covered for about 40 dollars).
I went in, on Friday they gave me sleeping goggles and some artificial tears. Retested my eyes since I had to not wear contacts for 7 days (I was using toric lenses). Went in and met the doctor again and then before I was scared and nervous it was over. Less than about 5 minutes from walking in the room, I was already walking out. No pain, just a bit of pressure and smelling of burnt hair. They used numbing drops for my eyes which helped a lot but as my mom was driving me back, they wore off and it started it hurt. I could see instantly after the procedure was over, it was just foggy. They gave me tylonal PM so that I would pass out afterwards and wake up.
Everything so far has been fine, just a bit of dry eyes which is fixed with the eye drops. My eyes are still a bit red but they should go away. I’ll update later on if anything crazy happens, but as of now LasikPlus was very professional and amazing! I didn’t feel like a cattle like my friend said about Dr. Boothe. I was able to drive the very next day to the check up and they ever remembered my name!
Overall, awesome place. I will be refering anyone in the dallas area to go here. I also got the life time warranty, so if my eyes do get worse in the future I can get them adjusted here at no cost and the only requirement is that I go to the 24 hour check up and the 3 week check up after that!

I had my Lasik done on 1÷26÷12. Prior to the surgery I had worn contacts for about 15 years. I am 31. My vision wasn’t awful (−1.75÷−2.25)
The surgery was quick and went well. On my follow up visit I was ²⁰⁄₁₅. At my 3 week exam I was ²⁰⁄₁₅. Additionally, I really had no side effects like halos, glare, night blindness. All I have experienced was some dry eyes but even that hasn’t been excessive.
My experience here was great. The staff was friendly and the Dr is a real pro. I believe he was trained by the Air force, who take their Lasik very seriously because peoples’ careers count on it.
My experience was great but here is ome pointers for anyone considering Lasik at this center
I paid $ 3,400 for both eyes. That was with a %15 insurance discount. I used my employers FSA which i fund from my payroll. In hind site I should have added about another $ 200 for prescriptions and eye drops post surgery. The prescriptions ran about $ 75 for both and I think by the time it’s over will go through 4 boxes of no preservative eye drops at about $ 25 a piece.
The doctor provides you with sleeping goggles and shades and post op pain reliever so don’t waste any money on that stuff. the shades aren’t bad actually.
While the surgery wasn’t bad, it was worse than I expected. Very uncomfortable having someone poke your eyes and the nasty taste of the drops they put in your eyes. The surgery was fats and I was disoriented after words. The next hour getting home and getting settled sucked. You want to sleep afterwards. I woke up and felt fine. I woke up about 4 hours later and felt fine.
I had my surgery on Thursday and took Friday and the weekend off. For the next week I had light sensitivity and eye weakness. I wore shades indoors. After that, eye strength was normal and only wear shades outside.
I would do it all over again for sure. The limited side effects are no reason not to have it.
