Ill update this in 6 months post Op, but a day after Smile I was told I have 20/15 vis, meaning better than 20/20. The office was cordial and very professional from the first consult.Theres several layers of checks on your eyes before doing any surgery- the multi level safeguards in place to ensure you are getting the proper type of surgery, at what prescription, and what your current prescription is, is great. All these details instills peace.My surgery was very fast, under 10 minutes from sitting in chair. The Valium+numbing drops means you dont feel any pain. You will feel uncomfortable though. You are absolutely aware and conscious while under the table and that can be scary for some people. You have to understand youre in good hands. No sugar coating, you just need to know you will be aware during the surgery but the doctor guides you through effortlessly.I pray everyone has amazing results- having corrected vision is not easily described with words. Dr. Mod did an excellent job.6 months edit:Today on May 1 2023, 6 months after surgery here is my thoughts and review. My eyes do not experience dryness. No more than they did before surgery- which was rare. Before, I probably used drops once every 5 months from too much screen time. Now, after surgery, as bad as it sounds I forced myself to not use the drops after 2 months so my eyes could heal naturally. They did. I wake up with no dryness, I do not experience any issues from it at all.Vision - My eyes are as sharp as they were the day after post surgery. 20/15. I noticed after a month my right eye was slightly less strong, but my left is the dominant and the difference is small. Upon 3 month check up, they told me there was a small decrease in power by 0.25 which is within the room error. My eyes are still getting used to focusing, this feels like my body memory of having glasses before, they never worked out the muscles to keep focus on certain distances because the glasses did that for me.Other notes - I can see some floaters on my right eye , not my left, and not obtrusive for daily living as they are not close to the center of my eye. Only when I look at a clear sky will they appear. Do your research on this. It's no joke. Eye sensitivity at 9am sunlight is tough. My eyes water a lot without glasses at that time. Which is good, because my tear ducts are working fine after the surgery. I already had sun sneezing before so its the same after. overall this will change your life most certainly. If I would bring any concerns to the doctor at consolation here is what I would say.1. Floaters. Ask them about it and your potential of getting it. Im lucky that mine aren't a problem2. Blue light and post surgery3. Working outside and allowing sunlight into your eye [not looking at sun of course]blessings

Really love and miss there

Great experience. They were very professional and I was very comfortable through the entire process. Better than 20/20 vision now. I had the SMILE procedure with adjustment for monovision. Enjoying a life free of contacts and glasses. Thanks Dr. Modabber and the entire team.

Dr. Modabber is the best Doctor you can find to help you with your vision and eye issues. He performed the Smile procedure for me some months back and everything has gone smoothly. The after care and attention to detail is exemplary. He goes above and beyond to ensure your questions are answered and you feel comfortable through the whole journey. The rest of the team working here are very friendly, pleasant, and helpful as well. Highly recommend!

If I could give Herzig Eye Institue six stars, I would! I suffered from high myopia at -10 for many years, and if you were walking towards me, I would not be able to see you unless you were close enough for me to reach out and tap you. Needless to say, it was very unpleasant. When I heard about Herzig Eye Institute, I contacted them on their website. I was quickly responded to and a consultation was scheduled within two weeks. At my consultation, I was recommended SMILE, and I had it done on my eyes in July 2022. It is very hard to find words to describe the perfect job that was carried out not just by Dr. Baig but also by the entire team at Herzig Eye Institute. This was not just on the SMILE day itself, but during the entire process, ranging all the way from the consultation to the last follow up appointment. The amount of professional care and friendliness present in all the staff at Herzig Eye Institute is hard to find anywhere else. One example is how clearly the process of SMILE was explained to me at my consultation and once again when the day came, which made me calm and comfortable. In addition, the entire place is modern and clean. Meanwhile, I now have 20/20 vision and there were no side effects whatsoever. It is the best feeling ever to no longer need glasses when I used to have high myopia of -10! I am still very happy about it to this day. I strongly recommend that anybody in need of refractive eye surgery or cataracts give Herzig Eye Institute a try because there is no doubt that they deserve your trust. Thank you very much for changing my life, Herzig Eye Institute!
