Why choose us for LASIK Surgery? 

1. We treat you like family

We would treat you like family. This guides us in everything we do. Every time a patient comes in for LASIK surgery we imagine that this person is a loved father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, or close friend. We let this guide us in how we treat people - with compassion, consideration, and respect. We also use this philosophy to guide which technology we choose for our patients - you would only want the best for your family! We want your visit and experience to be among the best you have ever had.

2. We use the best technology for the best results

We will never compromise on the LASIK technology we use. We believe you have only two eyes and deserve the best for them. In LASIK, technology is quickly advancing. We strive to be on the cutting edge. It is often tempting for LASIK surgeons to use cheaper technologies to increase their profits. It is more important for us that you do well after your LASIK surgery than our profit margins. We believe in using Advanced Custom LASIK with the Industry leader VISX Star 4 CustomVue System with Iris Registration. We also believe in the "All Laser LASIK" method with the Intralase laser for our LASIK patients in San Diego.

We have also upgraded to a revolutionary new Custom LASIK technology, iDesign. Learn more here.

3. We are not a factory, every surgery should be a work of art

Dr. Pham is a well experienced and skilled San Diego LASIK surgeon that believes that every surgery is a work of art. We treat every patient and every surgery as the only surgery of the day because it is the only surgery that you will go through as a patient. Many LASIK centers may have a factory mentality seeking to do as much as fast as possible. Ours is the opposite, we will never rush you or take any shortcuts during your LASIK surgery. Just because McDonald's serves the most hamburgers, it does not serve the best hamburgers!

4. All Laser Intralase Method - All Laser and No Razor

The development of the Intralase laser was a major surgical milestone in Laser vision correction. Instead of using a microkeratome (razor) for the creation of a flap, we are now able to use a laser to make the flap. This gives the LASIK surgeon incredible flexibility and accuracy in the creation of the flap. It also allows a thinner LASIK flap to be made and saves you more corneal tissue. This results in safer LASIK surgery, faster healing, and better results.

5. Advanced Custom Treatments with Iris Registration

Your eye is unique. In order to eliminate your eyes irregularities and aberrations, custom LASIK surgery makes an individual wavefront map of your eye. Think of this custom LASIK wavefront map as a "fingerprint" of your eye. The laser then treats all of the unique irregularities of your eye. Advanced custom LASIK also accounts for your eyes potential rotation during surgery. It registers your iris to compensate for any rotation during surgery. Advanced custom LASIK with iris registration is offered at the San Diego LASIK Institute.

6. Affordability - 0% Financing

LASIK should not be for just the rich and famous. It should be made for everyone. Through are financing programs, we have made LASIK affordable for our patients. We offer different 0% financing, 0% down, and 0% plans to accommodate everyone. We also continually strive to have the lowest prices and best value for our technology.

Our office is committed to just laser vision correction and this focus helps us to maintain our best effort and energy to doing just laser vision well. In a sense, we super specialize in it because we rather do a few things extremely well than a few things well. 

10. Our Team Is Detail Oriented

We take no shortcuts. We repeatedly examine and check your eyes. Your refractions are checked on up to three separate times prior to your surgery. We are not a factory and Dr. Pham believes that by checking the refraction himself, he increases the chance of a great result. In addition, more than one doctor checks things to make sure things are not missed.

11. No Marketing Gimmicks or Tiered Price Schemes

We do not do the bait and switch type of marketing. Some LASIK practices may offer "$299" LASIK. After you come and spend nearly 2 hours with them and go through an extensive dilated examination you may find many hidden fees that quickly increase the cost of the procedure. We are hoping to perform a life changing LASIK surgery for you and not sell you a used car. We are honest, upfront, and we never pressure you. Our job is to educate you so that you can make an informed decision about LASIK surgery. We do shop the competition and believe we have competitive prices and the best value for our technology.

However, you may need punctal plugs which are devices that help maintain the moisture around your eyes during this period. Some practices can charge upwards of $250 for each punctal plug and up to $1000 for all 4 punctal plugs. We do not charge for punctal plugs after LASIK surgery and insert them for free. There are no hidden fees for punctal plugs.
